🏺📚 Writing #Matriarcha is a strange mix: satisfying intellectual creation, but also being floored when the human side is suddenly somehow present: research ancient catastrophe; look at google maps for landscape; see a video of the bay, where a man teaches a little child to swim... and time folds.

Good to see this. My work was downloaded illegally, I would not have given permission for its use in AI training. (Also, I'm not keen on receiving remuneration for something I never agreed to; I want the companies to be prosecuted, fined and compensation to come that way)

Anyone had experience of their cat eating a Chinese Money Plant? Internet tells me they're non-toxic but also might make pets ill? Photo of the unrepentant furry fool attached 😾

Delighted to come across what I sincerely hope is evidence of a Yorkshire accent amongst the C18th aristocracy 🏛️ This noblewoman was one of the Howard family, living just outside of York in the early 1700s

Packing for the final edition of the New Scientist #Neanderthals tour that I created over 5 years ago, looking forward to it but also a bit sad!

I think it's a good example of our terrible political discourse that the fact that the Labour government is literally passing legislation right now strengthening EDI policy is relegated to a 2nd order issue in a story about a random campaign group saying the opposite.

Massive investment in deprived communities is what will stop the turn to populist scapegoating of minorities that Reform exploits, not scrambling to reverse equality protections which a contemptible few will always resent. Labour need to wake up www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🏺 Visit today to Park In The Past, a long-term community project on reclaimed land aiming to create a heritage landscape including building a Roman fort & adjacent civilian settlement. Great event including focus on diversity of auxiliaries within the army

This image of a funeral went with a different article, but the point in comparison to Come And See is the same - this war is grotesque and the impact on children of both nations appalling: forced to be brutalised & brutalisers in a spiral of generational trauma. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Today I needed a new name for a #D&D rogue half-elf thief who is always carrying a ton of gear, loves a bit of trade & knows the value of everything, and Lamassi just came to mind #Matriarcha #NicheHistoryNerd 🗃️ cdli.earth/cdli-tablet/...

& dank & dark morning (a candle lit on the desk sort of morning) but today starlings fledged the cowshed & are churring by the window, showing soft yellow gapes
