A screenshot of the website benpaites.uk. It is a light background with dark text. The name Ben Paites is top left, an image of me, a white man with dark hair and short beard, is centre right. The text describes my latest book being launched with a “buy now” button below. A red accessibility button is bottom right.

It’s been mentioned before, but I have a brand new website where I share what I’m up to. Plus you can reach out for any work or collaboration. I do talks, workshops, tours and much more.

This is the article to read if you want to know what really happened yesterday, not the British mainstream media version.
Llongyfarchiadau Hannah

Am arweinyddiaeth newydd i Gymru, pleidleisiwch Blaid Cymru ar 7 Mai. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💚

I’ve met some really nice people on X during the campaign

The biggest controversy is exactly how many willies are on show.

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: by working together.

Ble mae Wally?

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.

That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

Having only a tenuous grip on any concept of time I struggle to come to terms with the idea that 1st January 1750 in Scotland was 1st January 1749 in Cymru. Although I believe this to be the case. It could be the other way around mind.

🚨 Please Share

If anybody has any material culture related to protesting the Cass Review specifically, and would like to share pictures of them with me, then please send me images here or via owen.hurcum@york.ac.uk. I have an idea to do a little write-up about them from the pov of an archaeologist

How archaeological finds help tell LGBTQ+ stories

I feature on a guest blog for @londonmuseum.bsky.social talking about telling queer stories through archaeological objects.

Llongyfarchiadau i’r myfyrwyr.
Does dim lle i Reform yng Nghymru.
