@BorisJohnson @RishiSunak
The world has suffered for decades from the #AngloSaxon #AgathaChristie psychopath poisoning operations.
- That is why it is good for everyone that the #satanic forces are vaporized, asap.

#Solstice #Sunrise at the Barrow - a meditation on time, what litte, we know of #AngloSaxon "#Litha", and on what #livinghistory #history and #archaeology is truly "for". 🧵
Very early yesterday morning members Æd and AlexP travelled to @SoultonHall @SacredStonesLtd Soulton Long Barrow to experience a unique moment in the solar calendar which, though concerned with the reckoning of time, is essentially universal and #timeless. 1/32
The Midsummer Solstice has always been a significant moment in the year, across many cultures, as far back as deep #prehistory. In Britain our landscape is dotted with #stoneage #neolithic and #bronzeage #prehistoric monuments which bear witness to this. 2/32
We are starting our Christmas Countdown a little early this year with the A-Z of @drakonheritage #ChristmasIsComing #ChristmasCountdown
First up. A is for Archaeology. Our year has been full of many great objects from the field. Swords, brooches, lots of iron and so many coins... #ArchaeologicalConservation #Archaeology
B is for Broken. This Anglo-Saxon vessel was hit by a plough. By re-joining the fragments we can appreciate its form but I loved seeing the repairs made in the past. What a valued object this must have been to someone. What stories it could tell. #conservation #ChristmasCountdown
Alongside the #ExeterTehranConvos I’m been thinking about the nature of philosophy and research in #Iran within the context of the reception of #European philosophy - thread on #philosophy in #Iran 1/
And the ways in which continental philosophy dominated in an earlier period due to the influence of the #Heideggerians and the circle of #AhmadFardid (1909-1994) many of whom became prominent in the committee for the cultural revolution after 1979 2/
But since then - and it seems perhaps a bit of a surprise that #Soroush was a major figure in the support of #analytic_philosophy then - #Anglophone philosophy is gaining an upper hand 3/
THREAD: It’s true. I’ve been running the @GroupBABEL Twitter account for way too long & no one gives a damn. Not to mention that I no longer want to be associated with this group since they attended @KzooICMS 2019 even though Medievalists of Color were iced out. #MedievalTwitter
To be super-frank, I’ve been (heart)sick because of @GroupBABEL’s inattention to divisive issues in the field ever since 2016 when I urged boycotting the Kalamazoo Congress after Allen Frantzen’s misogynist & racist writings came to light, to no avail. I haven’t been back since.
I spent a lot of time in 2016 ranting about Frantzen’s misogyny & racism (& theft of junior colleagues’ work) & also wrote letters to every learned society begging them to censure him, to no avail. But thank you @JonathanHsy, Suzanne Akbari & @muellerale for helping me with that.
THREAD. Fabulous work by @ThamesDiscovery & @Nathalie_Cohen has identified a plethora of #AngloSaxon #fishtraps along the Thames. Once wattle-sided, the surviving framing posts widen as they lead up the riverbank, filling at high tide & once trapping fish in the apex on the ebb..
(1a. The reconstruction is of an AngloSaxon fishtrap just up the Essex coast on the Blackwater estuary via archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archiveDS/arch…).
2. These are the posts of the #AngloSaxon #fishtrap at Greenwich, tweeted by @ThamesDiscovery on 3 March this year..
THREAD. The Fleam Dyke, Cambs., is a substantial 5km long, 7-8m high, bank with a ditch on its SW side. Its origins are enigmatic: perhaps late Roman, perhaps early medieval, or possibly much earlier ... (photo, wiki).
2. There are 4 substantial earthworks, each a high bank with a ditch on its SW side, running for a no. of km across the chalk downland ridge that carries the Icknield Way across Cambs. - each begins in a wet/wetland landscape in the NW & ends in wooded clay uplands in the SE..
4. Excavation tends to suggest that all have late a Roman or early #AngloSaxon origins - but Bran Ditch has recently been shown to follow a Bronze Age alignment.... so they may be later, more substantial refurbishments of existing features (image: frrfd.org.uk/archaeology-an…)
