The man's skeletal injuries looked like a train hit him, but he died in 1304 CE. At #ppa26Berlin last week, @uniofbradford.bsky.social scientist Jo Buckberry concluded he was likely whacked by a flying boulder, making him the first confirmed trebuchet death in the archaeological record. @science.org

Just want to remind folks that this keeps happening.
Burials of assumed-important ancients discovered to be women via genetic testing, after decades of them simply being assumed to be male.
The patriarchy is incompatible with reality.

The #BronzeAge #UptonLovellShaman's burial in Wiltshire has long been considered an important religious figure & metalworker. It's been barely questioned someone of such status must be male.
But now #aDNA analysis revealed that the body is in fact: a woman.

THAT IS NOT HOW THE AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THE PENALTY FOR “FAILURE TO COMPLY” IS NOT A FUCKING DEATH SENTENCE!
Homan on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

THREAD. Still bristling at the memory of a workshop I attended where a writer flying the "be cruel to be kind" flag passed a MS along by simply saying, "Okay, this sucked"—and their absolute astonished shock when I stood up, got in their face & said *"You do not get to just DO that to someone!!!"*😡
When you (an editor or a critique partner or a classmate) comment on someone's writing, you can absolutely deal them a disabling injury if you're thoughtless about it.
I'm not saying anyone should be dishonest or refrain from pointing out issues. I'm saying

Roald Amundsen — the Norwegian explorer who, with his team, became the first to reach the South Pole — was born #onthisday in 1872. See our highlights of the wonderful set of photos from the 1910–12 expedition: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/amundsen-s-south-pole-expedition #OTD

#OnThisDay in 1928, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen disappeared with 5 crew while flying on a rescue mission in the Arctic. Their bodies were never found. 17 yrs earlier he became the 1st to reach the S. Pole. See photos from that expedition here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/a... #OTD
