*their papers 🙄

@joanavaldez.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 5:05 PM

There are a few people whose voice I can hear when reading my their papers, and I love that!

We've decided to start a discussion series. Lunchtimes once a month, to remember why we 'do heritage' all welcome, please share with students and networks.

Poster for a discussion series. Text reads:

ButCH/*

Bureau for the Contemporary & Historic

Bureau Bites!

JOIN US AT THE BUREAU FOR A MONTHLY LUNCHTIME BITE

13.15-14.00

Join: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/353204848682706?p=kTQLxkqUay7odEGmUi

Meeting ID: 353 204 848 682 706

Passcode: 72My9df2

Start your week with us in the Bureau for our new series, Bureau Bites. These informal, 45min online gatherings are open to all, whether you're a postgraduate student, a heritage manager or a senior consultant. Keep an eye on our LinkedIn account where we'll post a link to a short text (30 min read) the week before we meet. We understand how dynamic, energetic and enterprising (ie busy) we all are so please join the conversation even you haven't been able to make time to read and reflect in advance. Readings will be a mix of websites, blogs, reports, excerpts from academic papers.

The aim is to reconnect us with our communities of practice and to create space for the kind of thinking we might not be able to do on the daily grind. We invite participants to start a light-touch reflective journal to help document these conversations, which you may find useful in your work.

These gatherings also mark the start of ButCH's journey towards being a business partnership and launch of our redesigned website https://37looestreet.org/home/butch/

It's close run between bottlenose dolphins (gang coercive sex, infanticide, kidnapping) and Sea Otters (drowning females and using their carcasses for sex; sex so violent that the females die, followed by using their carcasses for sex; also with Harbour seals).

@joanavaldez.bsky.socialSep 20, 2026, 10:19 PM

Geezzz you just ruined Sea Otters for me!! 😭

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌
ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...

The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass.  It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots.  This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

This made me smile. 🦋

So many dead children… so many images of lifeless, broken and bloody little bodies in our feeds, casually appearing in between cats, yoga, beauty and weight loss advice, nutrition tips, sponsored pots on useless products, funny memes… so many dead children. When will it end? FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

Worried about AI taking over and what it will do to the planet? Perhaps you could start by refraining to use it to create superfluous images of you in 80s outfits or asking what you shall cook for dinner with the ingredients in your fridge.

Reminder that today is the last day to submit your paper proposals for TAG! We meanwhile return back to our series that explores Exeter through the theme of persistence and loss. On one of the corners of the high street stands the Tudor-looking 229. Appearances are, however, deceptive.

@joanavaldez.bsky.socialSep 11, 2026, 2:59 PM

I think our main worry should be the lunatics in power. Remove them, we remove the danger for a nuclear war and can start making real progress on climate change. Simples!

Fascists are being told that they can get away with a lot in the UK as long as they target non-whites

@tessmachling.bsky.social I have now lost five family members to cancer, 3 of which were my mom's sisters, 2 of which with abdominal cancers. Your account literally brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for your mum. I've also seen it. It's a horrendously painful and slow death. I'm so sorry.

I’m tired of today… anyone else?

If you feel like donating to the RNLI, here’s a link. I just have. Their minimum donation is £2: I think it might be nice for them to receive a lot of donations this week, even if they’re mostly very modest. Just so they know a lot of people out here appreciate their work. rnli.org/support-us/g...

rnli.orgDonate to the RNLI and help save lives at seaYour donations really make a difference. We depend on your generosity to educate people to stay safe and prevent tragedies on and offshore. Donate here.
