This is the last day before Waseem has to pay Nabil's school fees, and he's still about $100 short. Nabil loves school and last year got a certificate of excellence. If you can, please help him stay there. gofund.me/35fdca7d @mommunism.bsky.social @gofund-gaza.bsky.social @merryrobin.bsky.social 🍉

Figure 5 from the manuscript: Networks of interaction and material culture for two runs of the ArchMatNet model. Networks (a) are from a run of the model where the parameter uniqueTraits is set to false, meaning each band has identical starting traits. Networks (b) include networks where uniqueTraits are set to true, and each band unique starting traits. Nodes are colored by band and numbered by camp. Only the strongest 50% of links are shown. The color and size of the edges represent the strength (or weight) of the relationship between each node.

One last shout before I move on to panic: do I know anyone in (east) London who is an England Athletics Leader or Coach in Running Fitness who would be willing to trade some witnessing time for coffee and carbs?

It's time...for SPARKS FOR SPARK SPACE! Last week, ZERO takers to support hundreds of students & freelancers with internet + electricity. As famine haunts Gaza, families' access to income is crucial.

Support My Work You can support my work by donating here.

I don’t like to promote this because there are far more pressing fundraisers for folks to put their money towards…but hey, if you’ve enjoyed my blogs and podcasts and whatnot in the past and have a few bucks, there is a donation page on my website.

Black-background WHN graphic with white and pink text. At the top is the logo text “whn.global” with a pink dot. Large central headline: “COVID isn’t ‘just a cold.’” Below that: “It can affect the brain, heart, and immune system, even months later.” In bright pink near the lower middle: “Prevention matters.” At the bottom: “World Health Network - Science for a safer, healthier world.”

COVID is not “just a cold.” Even mild or asymptomatic infections can cause lasting health effects, damaging blood vessels and organs, affecting the brain, and weakening the immune system.

New issue coming out soon! Explore our online collection from the "Beyond Leaky Pipelines" authors. Moving beyond awareness of how women remain excluded from key areas of archaeology, the authors call for intentional citation practices of women-led research teams.
