A meaningful coincidence to have this book in my hands today.
12 years ago 368 died few km off #lampedusa. Since, 31,000 people more lost their life in our shared sea.
A project I dreamed to do so many times. It's beautiful that has been done.

The Hidden Threat Beneath Our Feet: How Microplastics Are Silently Transforming Soil and Our Food System

A teaspoon of soil contains more than just dirt, water, and worms. ⚒️ A recent review in the International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology shows how microplastics in the soil are altering its health, and potentially entering the food we eat. bit.ly/46q3fI7 #foodpolicy #envhum

Very stimulating reading

I haven't met Dr. Kamash in person, but she was absolutely incredible yesterday!

Feminism is only intersectional.
And feminist archaeology goes well beyond gender, gender biases and gender violence.
@payetatruelle.bsky.social merci!

We had withdrawn our paper from #EAA2025 until our session (176) organizers affirmed every voice must be heard. In a session on conflict, repression & violence, silence isn’t an option! #EngagedArchaeology #AcademicFreedom @archagainstaparth.bsky.social

Wasn't an easy decision: we will deliver our paper, due to the inclusive atmosphere that session 176 organizers granted.
We believe it is not a paper on discrimination, AktionT4, and heritage & power dynamics that should be silenced now.

A quote of Dostoevskij (or Voltaire?!) says that the degree of civilisation in a society can be judged by entering its prisons. I would add psychiatric institutions, and how past stories and places enter our present.
