Today, the Heritage Foundation, the org behind Project2025, took credit for driving Lonnie Bunch out the Smithsonian Institution.
Bunch was the first African American and first historian to serve as head of the Smithsonian.
But sure, tell me again how it’s not about racism.

Most of my friends are at San Diego Comic Con this week and I’m sad because I couldn’t go again this year. We have had a rough couple of years in my house, so going to #SDCC was financially out of reach. It is so expensive to go to #SDCC now, I don’t know if I’ll ever get to go back. 😢

Hey @tessmachling.bsky.social she had evidence of gold working!!!
Worth noting that the polished flint axes with the Upton Lovell burial, shown in the headline photo and captioned as "Artefacts dating to about 1,800 BC..." would probably have been at least 500 years old at that time, so a deeper past was also being referenced in her metalworking practice.

The heritage sector generates £15 billion for the economy. If we cut archaeology as a subject, we lose the engine that helps generate it.
We also lose our knowledge of past societies. We lose any grasp of who we are, who we’ve been, and who we might yet be.
