Am making pasties today despite really not wanting to. I’m about a month late from when I usually make them.

My weirdo recipe comes from my British grandmother via a stint in Michigan as a US Army wife. Basically very coarsely shredded carrot, onion, potato with ground beef into a kind of hand pie

Utterly, utterly disgusting. Utterly.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Matt is a genius:

To be more precise: The fact that the Republicans let him be their candidate three times, and one time after Jan 6th is crazy to me.

In the context of this deplorable situation with the #EAA, I cannot support participation in the forthcoming Athens conference.

I urge all archaeologists around the world, from students to professors, amateurs and professionals, to #boycottEAA

I've had 36 published with a few publishers and self-published, but I have about 60 that I have put away due to no interest from publishers and readers, and no time to finish them.

We're a bit busy, so here's a mosaic of a zebra.

The absurdity of universities trying to 'woo' an avowedly anti-intellectual party. One that considers education to be a liability. One whose other policies run counter to all understanding that the last 50 years of research has established.

Yes. Justice should be more than what DoJ and others deam appropriate. Because too many of these decisions are editorial and political, rather than just. Justice, in this instance WILL be embarrassing and inconvenient for folks who feel that they aren't involved, let alone the perps!

Why aren't people sharing this stuff everywhere? It's not about documents, it's about peoples' lives!

The 450,000 objects were uncovered & recorded as part of well planned & meticulous excavations. They are linked to records of the contexts they were found in. Because of this, they will contribute to a substantial new body of understanding about England & its pasts from a 10 yr research programme.

Proud.

Often, it's the family you meet along the way,

Ah. Good morning to everyone but especially to my favourite Badly Drawn Wolf

Not at all. These are genuinely horrible events.

Looking down on the River Wear and Old Elvet Bridge, Durham.

Looking across Old Elvet Bridge. Klute and Durham Cathedral are aligned.

This morning I'm in Durham and just noticed that the legendarily awful nightclub, Klute, lines up quite nicely with Durham Cathedral from this angle.
