Hey archaeology Bluesky, I need a new PhD supervisor. It’s a shit deal bc I can’t change the main one, but I’m in hell right now. It has to be someone in Europe, they need to have some contemporary experience, and be KIND. Please help! (No advice, I’ve tried everything, this is a last resort)

I console myself by remembering a talk by a legal historian of 17th century Iceland when over 60% of the male population was named Jon Jonson.

The BBC has made its sound effects archive openly available online! The descriptions are pretty great, although I'd love to be able to browse/filter by program as well sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk 📚📜

Hiya, just a quick shoutout for this brilliant debut history book, HOTEL LUX by Dr Maurice Casey - I was lucky to read an early copy, and it’s both an enthralling narrative and a fascinating detective story as we follow Maurice into the archives and attics to track down lost letters and photographs

PSA: these are all moths. If you say a colourful moth must be a butterfly cos "it's not brown" I get sad. So for the whole entire love of air-fried fuck 📣 There's a lot more colourful moths than there are colourful butterflies. AND moths are way fluffier Thank u from the Moth Promotional Board ✨🦋

A delightfully aerodynamic bright pink and olive green hawkmoth, sitting on a grey cardboard egg tray from my moth trap looking fabulous. A+ moth friend & nicely aeroplane shaped.
A teeny little bright green moth sitting in a clear jar in my hand. The lid is off, I think it's just chilling because I'm warm. Lovely moth pal, would recommend.
A very fancy bright reddish peach moth with zig zag black lines across its forewings. It's sitting in a grey cardboard egg tray from my moth trap looking delightful. 11 out of 10 good moth.
A majestic and very fluffy moth standing in a clear jar on my hand. Its body is bright yellow and fuzzy like a plushie toy. It's wings are yellowish orange and patterned to mimic fallen leaves. Beautiful moth, very nice work.
