His knees drawn up, my husband lies asleep, so like Tollund Man — the sacrifice found pickled in a bog. He sinks night-deep, a similar repose upon his face.

My partner and I live in Europe and are slowly stockpiling dried and canned foods and camping gas so we can feed ourselves and 2-3 friends for about two weeks. Mostly in anticipation of supply chain disruptions due to [pick a reason]. Like Mia says, when shit hits, it will be a global hit.

The man's skeletal injuries looked like a train hit him, but he died in 1304 CE. At #ppa26Berlin last week, @uniofbradford.bsky.social scientist Jo Buckberry concluded he was likely whacked by a flying boulder, making him the first confirmed trebuchet death in the archaeological record. @science.org

I promised myself not to get into Odyssey discourse because people seem to get really wrapped up in this *cultural moment*, whatever that means. If anyone wants to hear my thoughts, I'd simply recommend they read @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social instead.

The technofascists & oligarchs are all obsessed with living forever - a luxury not afforded to us, of course, so we are offered the next best thing: an illusion of the removal of death from our social reality by way of devouring and contorting the memories of our loved ones for a small monthly fee.

During my final two years of school before going to University, I was offered a spot on a programme that let some students swap out a few regular courses for Uni lectures. I did not know what I wanted to study, so I picked the thing that sounded most interesting: Scientific Archaeology & Prehistory.

Life has been difficult in so many ways. But last night, as I collected empty plates off the dinner table and scraped little bits of food into the kitchen bin, my living room was warm with candles and wine and laughter. And life was a little less difficult for a while.

I love this. +Regarding what Cora is reposting: what I've noticed when experimenting with AI is that it repels me. I see the result and if I actually needed to dive into the subject I investigate even deeper but don't bother with the AI results. More often than not part of it is made up (I checked)

It is also how you find gaps in our current knowledge and questions to investigate. My entire PhD project was sparked by a really, really bad paper arguing that human hands evolved the way they did in order for men to punch each other better over women. Literature reviews and spite are my fuel!

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.

Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.
