@tombjorklundart.bsky.social brings the past alive in a way I find very appealing. The 40k year old Lowenmensch has always been considered to be something religious, ceremonial, etc. That's why I love Tom drawing it as a kid's toy. Maybe it once was en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-man www.tombjorklund.fi

Cis women are THE group terfs fear the most. Time to speak up. End this toxic hate movement’s hijack of the phrase ‘‘women’s rights” ✌️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Today a little reminder of the evidence of 'foreign actor manipulation' of the media, Europe-wide, in relation to LGBTQ and especially Trans people. www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etud...

See how the disinformation campaigns - waged by christo-fascist anti-LGBT lobbyists, and specifically targeting trans people - that were warned about 5 years ago, are coming to pass now! 😣 👉🏻 www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etud...

‘It must be doubted whether MI5 ever intended to provide invaluable assistance to future historians, but its obsessive logging of various suspects’ everyday doings has resulted in a small goldmine of sources in the National Archives.’ Stefan Collini on Christopher Hill www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Cardiff may save music but ancient history is still in danger. Do sign the petition if you have not done so, yet. #AncientBluesky ⚱️🦋 www.change.org/p/save-cardi...

This is amazing! I have seen lots of boilerplate (meaning they’ve been written by a Starmer/McSweeny wonk) letters from MPs positioning trans women and cis women against each other. This campaign shows that cis women are not, in fact opposed to trans people’s human rights. Please sign and share.

When you get to the bottom of a bag of beefy strip, you sometimes get bits that are too short to save. I call those “good days”

A group of cis women allies have set up a collective in support of the trans community. They have published a letter to show solidarity & are asking other cis women to sign it: 👇👇👇 www.change.org/p/not-in-our...

Please support this if you feel able. Everyone is equally deserving of dignity and respect.

There's a young trans girl called Emily who's had her dream of playing football ripped away from her by the FA Her mom has posted an Amazon wishlist, if anyone's in a position to do something nice for her as her birthday falls the day after the ban 🙏

With all the talk about STEM and the decline in humanities, this discussion between @patrickwyman.bsky.social and Bret Devereaux seemed especially interesting. A decline in or lack of resources for studies of ancient languages means there is a lot of historic material that remains untranslated.

Late Roman historian here. Please stop perpetuating the narrative of a fall of Rome triggering Dark Ages. That’s not what happened at all.
