Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups! They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete. 📷 by me #Archaeology

My dear friend Asma is raising funds to survive as a Palestinian refugee + to pay back a friend for helping them flee the Israeli bombardment in Gaza in 2024. Asma + her husband are working hard to provide for their 2 young daughters. Please consider giving if you can. ❤️🇵🇸 tiny.cc/asmacairo

Bes jars are my favorite, they're such goobers. ♥️

Sophie's fundraiser has stalled for a week! Her well-being depends on our generosity - can you sign up today to donate the cost of a coffee per week? Sophie's needs are not being met consistently and I do not want her to go without her medicine again.

Does anyone here know or have any big TikTok, instagram or twitch account that help us with raising funds? I'm down to stream but I barely get 2 viewers.. So if anyone's willing to help please do so, if u wanna collap with a stream or anything dm me please, this month is really tough

This is one of the sharpest, clear-eyed & compassionate pieces of political writing I’ve read in a long time.

We've finally posted our first update on Sophie's Chuffed campaign! Please check it out if you have a second, and share with your friends, far and wide. Since Sophie's GFM has been shut down permanently, this Chuffed is now her only online fundraising resource. tiny.cc/gorom

That was heartshattering. Argentina played dirty and yet magically didn't get a single warning or yellow card, and Egypt played with so much heart. Proud to be an Egyptian, proud to have made it this far (a historical first), and we'll be back. ❤️🤍💛🖤

I think the thinking among university leaders is that we can ride Trump out for STEM but strategically use GOP dominance to undermine and possibly end the study of culture by humanists & social scientists unless it conforms to our center-right ideological preferences.

Just to clarify: Sophie's GFM has been down for almost a month (and now that's permanent) - the link I've been boosting since then has been the Chuffed. The Chuffed is fine and hopefully will remain that way.

A great article on the medieval West African city of Agadez!! Very very cool 😎
