Wow you really can do this for any fictional setting 😂

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

Warhammer does it best, a god uses a hammer to beat the knowledge directly into your soul (very painful). 10/10 no notes

Can't believe you did this (I totally can and I loved it)

The Starfleet Academy TV series presents a futuristic university with diverse cadets and flawed teaching staff.
This blog takes a sci-fi premise & uses it to reflect on practice and values in HigherEd.

Yep, it's pretty egregious. Most non-academic archaeologists can't even access this material.

The Ulster Cycle with Prof. Ruairí Ó hUiginn

Latest episode of the podcast is a masterclass on the 'Ulster Cycle', Táin Bó Cuailgne & Irish literature from Prof. Ruairí Ó hUiginn @scs-dias.bsky.social. We learn how these stories can be valuable to the historian, their lasting relevance & how they've evolved 1/

Omg completely yeah

He keeps mentioning this fabled "linear method of dissemination". Quite frankly, 90% of academic work will sit behind a paywall, inaccessible to the general public.

A fantastic resource, especially if you need a break from the doomscrolling

But seriously. We are back! Next week we start shooting #bbcghosts the movie! Huge excitement in the camp, lots of splendid people joining us.

That's great to hear, best of luck with it!

Hopefully it's being looked at, the hole should be hard to miss😂

Two Roman lead pigs on a forklift in a farmyard

This was the scene when I arrived to collect the lead pigs from the landowner in Oct 24, for safe transfer to the National Museum 😮

It's not often Roman finds are so heavy they're carried on a forklift

The pigs are extraordinary..each weighed around 85kg & had to be lifted by two people 💪

These must have come from an archaeological feature then? I imagine the hole they left behind was quite large!

If you can't wait until this evening (we can't!) you can read the article right now in preparation for the talk 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

WOW IT KEEPS GOING??!

I'm bad enough after half a pint!

I need that energy

A partially completed map of Britain and Ireland showing some cities and settlements of the Irish, Britons, Old English and Scottish. Place names in different languages are represented by different colours. The map is colourful and stylist rather than accurate

An early WIP of a fantasy-style map of Britain and Ireland in 900 AD that I am working on. Currently I'm adding historically accurate forest and wetland locations (yes I'm a massive nerd)! What are people's thoughts/feedback on how it looks or what I should include?
