I've been banging on for ages about how we need more research like this. Very impressed with the result!
New landmark research out today: We've just launched Trowel and Error, the most in-depth look in 25 years at how audiences want to engage with archaeology. The findings are clear: people want human, accessible, story-led archaeology.

Microgrants Temporarily Paused
Unfortunately, the Black Trowel Collective Microgrants is paused again due to the program losing its non-profit status in the US. This status was required for maintaining our US PayPal Business account, which we use to accept, hold and disburse funds. Without it, we’re unable to manage the account or process any payments. We’re currently exploring how to get our non-profit status reinstated, but until that happens, we’re unable to accept new applications.

God the conclusion here is so righteous
Really valuable and honest piece by friend and comrade @nikeshshukla.bsky.social about the anti-immigration protests at hotels this year.
There's a danger in trying to "understand" someone's hate if it's based on the faulty assumption that there's anything to understand in the first place.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

Cheering the two child limit ending isn’t patting Starmer’s Labour on the back or ignoring his record. It’s acknowledging 8 years of hard campaigning and ridding the country of a cruel, toxic policy. Half a million children won’t be hungry anymore. Celebrate today. Tomorrow, pick the next fight.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.
At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.
Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

(government minister reading a report on the thousandth clinical drug trial of a pill that eliminates poverty, with a 100% success rate, that generates 10 times the value it costs to produce & makes government ministers public heroes) I don't understand, so the poor are made to suffer how, exactly?
There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.
