horse girls, historical reenactors, train guys, trauma nurses...i'm NOT saying you should collect neurodivergent friends on purpose btw. i'm saying you're a writer so your friends are already neurodivergent

Copper alloy button taken in for recording by my Finds Liaison Officer (FLO) last week on the Portable Antiquities Scheme, part of the T&Cs of having a mudlarking permit. Usually items have to be over 300yrs old to be recorded, but this button is rare & has an important London transport story 1/

Copper alloy livery button from the WLER - West London Extension Railway found on the Thames Foreshore. A close-up of a copper alloy uniform button with the initials WLER on it. It once belonged to a porter or railway worker who was employed by this line. The back of the copper alloy WLER uniform button seen posed in my hand on the Thames Foreshore. The shank is still visible though flattened with age.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Harvey Pratt created one of the most moving memorials on the National Mall, the National Native American Veterans Memorial. A citizen of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma and Dakota, he was also a premier forensic artist, sculpting reconstructions of faces. He died last year, RIP.

This is a brilliant idea to force corporations to either raise pay rates for their employees or lower their payouts to CEOs 💯💯💯🎯

This had me worried about publishing costs, but then I saw this: Way to go, Antiquity!

Screenshot of Antiquity website which reads "We have an OA option for every author: The costs of open access publication will be covered through agreements between the publisher and the author’s institution(opens in a new tab), payment of APCs for those with third-party funding, or else waived entirely, ensuring every author can publish and enjoy the benefits of OA."
