This FOl enquiry for the Guardian has taken up a great deal of my life for the past 2 years. (1/3)

En als je twijfelt kunt u dus ook de salut verkleinen om de kans op repercussies nog te verminderen : “allez ja, salukes!”.

Regel #2 van “allez” in het Vlaams: dat “allez ja” tegelijkertijd “ja” en “nee” kan bedoelen.

Dedication page from the book that my PhD became, which reads: For mum, dad and Tom - thank you for the world. And for my Grandad Jimbo, who probably still doesn’t believe ‘girls’ should go to university.

In my house ‘International Women’s Day’ is also known as ‘My PhD’s Birthday’. Happy 8th birthday PhD, and happy reminder day to everyone else that if you say misogynistic things to me I will never let you forget them 🤭

🏺🩸ETHNIC CLEANSING AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN LEBANON
Earlier today, the director of the Israel Antiquities Authority posted a story earlier today with the caption "combining reserve duty in the north and a visit to excavations" www.instagram.com/stories/elie...

Eeek I hope it will live up to these pronouncements 😬

😊😊😊

Oh that’s so nice thanks!

My book cover: bright yellow with the title in big letters ‘Classicism: How the West Invented the Ancient World’ and the head of a statue making a “shhh” motion.

So the @plutopress.bsky.social catalogue is out and… my new book is in there! 🥳📚

Scroll to page 14 to read about it: www.plutobooks.com/wp-content/u... (it’s for fans of @profdanhicks.bsky.social, or so the catalogue says!)

Screenshot from new article in Middle East Eye where I am quoted saying “I use the term ancient Palestine frequently in my own research and will continue to do so”.

Tfw your research on the political use of the past in the present is in the news again… but the quote everyone picks is literally the most boring thing you have ever said. “I will continue to use accurate terminology” really shouldn’t need to be a radical position 🙈

They want to rule a region of rubble and the US is, at best, perfectly fine with this albeit not motivated by it and at worst is actively in agreement.

What’s especially funny about this is they found him at home… in his office. Unlike the coward hiding in Germany.

Imagine what it costs to have the CIA surveil someone for decades, hacking anything with a camera, only to find him in the place absolutely everyone knew he would be?! Embarrassing.

Soutien à l’Iran agressé par l’axe colonial génocidaire !  | Indigènes de la République Ce matin, 10e jour du mois béni de Ramadan, le régime génocidaire sioniste et son protecteur américain ont ouvert un nouveau front contre l’Iran. Cela n’a étonné presque personne. Ces lâches ont dû at...

Aujourd’hui encore plus qu’hier, la fin de l’ordre occidental dure longtemps.

Mais aujourd’hui encore plus qu’hier, l’endurance des peuples, à commencer par le peuple Palestinien martyr, montre la seule voie vers la victoire, celle de la Résistance

The US-Israeli Epstein empire’s three favourite things to destroy: children, hospitals, historic sites.

We really REALLY need historians in the world because Keir Starmer is genuinely with a straight face trying “Iran have WMDs so we have to bomb them” as if we were not here to his his heroes do that in the 2000s. And there really genuinely do seem to be people whose memories do not stretch that far.

Ce matin, 10e jour du mois béni de Ramadan, le régime génocidaire sioniste et son protecteur américain ont ouvert un nouveau front contre l’Iran. Cela n’a étonné presque personne. Ces lâches ont dû attendre des mois, le temps d’acheminer les capacités militaires et logistiques nécessaires à soutenir un effort de guerre prolongé que la colonie israélienne est incapable de soutenir seule. Plus lâche encore, ils prétendent s’appuyer sur le sang du peuple iranien pour obtenir la reddition de son gouvernement, que ni les sanctions ni les bombardements n’ont pu parvenir à obtenir.

"Ce camp du génocide lancé à l’attaque de l’Iran, y compris ceux qui aujourd’hui appellent hypocritement à la "désescalade", sait qu’il est en train de mener sa lutte finale, car il est plus nu que jamais."

For “preemptive” read “unprovoked”, “heinous” or “illegal”.

May US imperialism and all of its little satellite genocidaires fall, and quickly.

Not to sound too much like an academic who writes about Islamism or anything but please PLEASE ask any of these Islamophobes making alarmist takes in the British press about the “Islamist takeover” or “Islamist infiltration” what an Islamist actually is. Please. I can’t wait to hear the answers. 😂

#PhotoDuJour

Ah yes because a Jewish gay man and a white woman plumber are the true Islamist threat in Britain 😂😂😂

Happy Gorton and Denton day to all who celebrate the fall of disgusting racists 🥳
