No words.

📰🎬Der Film "Khartoum" soll den 12 Mio. Menschen, die wegen des Krieges im Sudan fliehen mussten, Gesichter und Stimmen geben. Wir sprachen mit den Regiseur*innen Ibrahim Snoopy, Rawia Alhag & Timeea Mohamed Ahmed über ihren Film & die Lage im Sudan. #KeepEyesOnSudan

#KeepEyesOnSudan in #Berlin!

Behind the Paper. Here’s a bit more on photography and also the current situation in Sudan - because archaeology isn’t just about the past communities.springernature.com/posts/captur... 🏺 #archaeology #Sudan #colonialism

The spam journals get ever more umm interesting. Apparently I have expertise in spine surgery now. Hubs is giving me the side eye.

I like that @ucldiscovery.bsky.social sends automated alerts for uploaded research! The paper itself is open access here link.springer.com/article/10.1... but repositories are so important bc they make all research available!

Honestly it was awful. Apparently her crime was to study for an MA at LSE. I wonder how many tutorials Boris and the rest of them attended back in the day.

When you’re in a session and an @historianmemory.bsky.social quote appears :-)

Mac users - my haunted laptop keeps switching my keyboard from Maltese to English. I swear I’m not doing it myself. Anyone else run into this???? Cos it’s driving me up the wall.

They destroyed all the water sources. 3200 wells. Why does the world keep ignoring #Sudan ? www.aljazeera.com/program/news...

Dunno if Bluesky likes Italian music but this had me weeping. Anyone who’s watched a loved one deal with dementia/Alzheimer’s will feel this on a very deep level. youtu.be/WUi3iBgS6QQ?...

Or filling in a long and anxiety inducing “e-consult” that has no space for your actual needs. Oh and it’s only available at specific times and if they “reach capacity” you wait another day.

See this is the inspirational content we all need 😂

In fact I hadn’t seen it. Thank you @lemosrennan.bsky.social and @yannisham.bsky.social

And it’s finally out - our paper on #photography #Sudan and #JebelMoya. It’s open access :-) It’s a collab between archaeologists and colleague from @wellcomecollection.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Just heard an amazing paper on AI and bulk analyses - point is it’s grounded in things like avoiding algorithmic bias, respect of ownership etc. so refreshing.

Italian conferences are superior because instead of stupid digestives (yes I said it) you get small pastries, and each region has its own delights. And they don’t include custard creams. I’ll die on this hill, while stuffing my face obvs.

There are many acts of resistance. Prof Anna Maria Ciccone, university of Pisa, was part of the civil resistance. In 1944 the Germans placed bombs in her labs as part of their retreat revenge. She saved the labs (and much more).

So it’s very humid. My hair has doubled in size and quadrupled in frizz. I will haunt all your nightmares 🤣

My favourite Camposanto fresco. Lucifer poops sinners.

Peekaboo. Climbing up the walls is cheaper, easier and much nicer. And doesn’t involve a million wobbly steps.

There. Done. Not going up that bloody thing again.

My home for the week. #Pisa To be clear I haven’t joined a convent. It’s a uni residence 😂

Stupid o’clock train journeys are highly recommended. The train is blessedly quiet. Bliss.
