This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.

Die Forschungsministerin freut sich auf Insta darüber, dass jetzt "PortrÀts" von Frauen der Geschichte in ihrem Haus hÀngen. Nur: Die sind mit KI erstellt. Und schleifen die Gesichter der Frauen gemÀß moderner westlicher Schânheitsideale glatt.

These kinds of earrings are usually made of such thin materials that soldering them without melting anything is a challenge. Definitely high pain-in-the-butt score.

As a goldsmith I can confidently say that it would be a pain in the butt to make these. Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.

I own a vintage pair of earrings that belonged to my grandmother with the same front closure. Usual but not unheard of in modern jewelry!

So I'd never heard of this guy, read the wikipedia article and had to laugh out loud when the section of him being a big Trump supporter is followed by him being a fan of Rage Against the Machine. What a doofus.

Booked the last little holiday before baby gets here, exclusively to see the Shamanism exhibit opening in late March at the @landesmuseumhalle.bsky.social.
Very excited to see what the museum has put together!

I'm so sorry. If you can, have people who love her come over to say goodbye before you have to let her go. The last day of my dog's life was so beautiful because everyone came by to love on him.

Extreme Long shot but, if anyone visited the Permanent Exhibition at the National Museum of Finland between 1995-2016 and has any pictures of the interpretation panels/display/presentation of the Suontaka sword then I'd be extremely grateful for copies!

Many thanks!

It took me a long time to start enjoying the book and even then I think it's far below some of the author's other work.

I had to let my dog go last summer after a very long medical journey. DM me if you want to talk.

Anyone know of confirmed primate butchery sites (primates being butchered by hominins) known from Middle or Lower Palaeolithic πŸ–πŸͺ¨πŸ’ - I remember claimed geladas bone smashing at Olorgesaillie, but anything else?

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Pets really leave big gaps in our lives and hearts when they go. I lost my beloved dog last summer and I still often cry over it. Take your time to grieve.

Reminds me of a certain pair of brothers running two important antiquities galleries who (allegedly) alter their Wikipedia pages regularly to delete mention of their numerous involvements with trafficked objects.

Babies weren't supposed to be mourned in the Roman Empire. These rare liquid-gypsum burials prove otherwise. Despite historical records saying otherwise, Roman babies were mourned at death, research into unique plaster burials from York reveals.

Even babies were buried in unique liquid-gypsum-filled coffins in Roman Britain. πŸ§ͺ🏺

This is my thought about a lot of gen AI applications.

You let ChatGPT write your wedding vows? Your college essay? Your job application?

You clearly don't actually want to get married / graduated / hired. Have you considered maybe trying to find happiness somewhere else?

CALLING: Ancient Epigraphic Peeps, Papyrological Peeps, Prosopographical types, Lexographical types...

Off the top of your head can you think of the same individual (not the same family), literally the same person, spelling their own name in different ways in different documents?!

Yeah I'm getting so many weight loss ads, which is especially great when I've been trying to gain weight during my pregnancy and can't because of constant nausea. Thanks for telling me that I need to eat less, ads.

Please support the petition against the planned #closure of #Archaeology at the Humboldt-UniversitΓ€t zu Berlin.
Archaeology has been a part of Humboldt-UniversitΓ€t academic tradition for almost 200 years, so closing it would break a long-standing research tradition

Es ist ganz einfach: Wer ΓΌberrascht davon ist, dass Alice Schwarzer Alice Weidel abfeiert, hat 30 Jahre lang nicht aufgepasst. Und ALLE, die ihr weiterhin eine Plattform geben um sich als "Cheffeministin Deutschlands" zu profilieren tragen eine Mitschuld an der Normalisierung rechter Propaganda.

One of the more bizarre experiences as an archaeologist is to meet old finds you once dug up in long and hot days at the excavation behind glass in an air-conditioned museum exhibition.

All of a sudden, they'd become something special, sacred things almost: an exhibit.

Both of my great-grandparents lived well into my teenage years so I did know them, my great-grandpa was born in 1915.
