It's only now I remember today is the 20th anniversary of this coming out. There's not really words, though I'm sure I'll find a few thousand for the newsletter. "We are twice as far from Rue Britannia as Rue Britannia was from Britpop" is certainly a thought. The other is: thank you, McK.

Not sure who's going to see this, bc BS is borked. If you can help or at least re-post. "...local farmers have been the main force...costs of running & maintaining tractors/diggers; buying/maintaining tankers used to carry and hold water are adding up." (from a friend in Wales) gofund.me/f9385f2e5

Love that Poseidon is the God of the oceans and horses. Thinking about avoiding his wrath by simply taking refuge on the land? Sure thing. But who could that be clip-clopping at the door at this hour?

Have noticed lately guys working in shops being mildly flirty with me. I've been winked at twice in about 6 months and I think before that I must have gone at least 6 years, if not 16 years. Is this a thing other people are noticing or have I moved into a sort of mum vibe or something?

For too long, the people who have done the real work of archaeology have not been recognised. At Dura-Europos in Syria, one of the ways this is evident is in the lack of credit given, or even names recorded, for the many workers there.

ARGH. There are many causes of the UKHE crisis, and the governmental underfunding is undoubtedly the most harmful one. But let’s not let that big one draw sole attention, so we forget the harm done by the pure disrespect of managers for staff & their disdain for meaningful conversation with them.

My uni have just withdrawn Geography, History & Geography and Politics & Geography undergrad courses run from our Penryn campus. Terrible for Cornwall. How did the staff find out? When UCAS clearing opened at 8am 😡

They did not let me back in the normal UK immigration thing, I had to go and speak to an official!

My thoughts on Image publishing a new Warren Ellis book.

Recently reread "This is How You Lose the Time War" by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone with my online book club, so I created a flippable illustration for fun featuring Red and Blue. ❤️💙 #illustration #fanart

Went to the Parque Marino de la Magdalena today where we saw plenty of seals and Penguins for the minute and a half they came out of their hiding spots to pose for photos and receive their fishes for lunch

🏺With the solar eclipse in the news here in the UK, it’s probably worth noting that we have archaeological evidence of eclipses. Like this cuneiform tablet from Mesopotamia circa 900-600 BCE forecasting a solar eclipse. Now at the Hearst Museum of Anthropology. 📜 n2t.net/ark:/21549/h...

I hereby halt your doom scroll to show you this natural phenomenon known as a Light Pillar on a ski run in Austria. Kind of feels like you're being visited by god.
