I just finished Small Game by @blairbraverman.bsky.social and I loved it. It's perfect if you like survival shows, a smidge of Yellowjackets and a very human-centred kind of horror, the kind that creeps up on you and takes root in your brain, whispering 'what if?'

This week my employer of 17 years English Heritage announced 200 jobs lost, and my Alma mater Cardiff Uni announced 400 jobs lost. The planning system that protects our heritage and provides thousands of archaeology jobs is at risk, and Higher Education is in free fall more generally #ThisIsFine

The internet is not a neutral space—it reflects the structures, biases, and inequalities of our world. But what if it didn’t? What would a truly feminist internet look like? 🌐 It's more important than ever that we question the status quo! #art+feminism Read more: wikimedia.ie/2025/01/24/i...

Instead of just reading summaries on news sites, I highly recommend going through these executive orders and really absorbing the intent and language. It's fucked. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
