@cripantiquity.bsky.social is at the #CA2026 in Manchester. Thanks to everyone who came to our panel yesterday. Discussions highlighted people doing amazing work, and ideas for future resources and improvements to our sector. We're here as a resource and look forward to continuing the conversation!

Sharing an important article that has come out of the University of Cambridge. Too many people I know in academia have been subject to various forms of abuse, and this is unfortunately one of the latest examples of this. Change is needed: archive.ph/l7JIX

Exicited to co-convene the session "The History of Museum Access," tomorrow at this year's @forarthistory.org.uk #AAH2026, and co-facilitating the workshop "Getting Beyond Homer: Disability, Classics, and the Classroom" as @cripantiquity.bsky.social at this year's CA Conference on Saturday. #CA2026

Website zur Antike: Alle Klicks führen nach Rom Auf badancient.com wird die Antike lebendig – durch die Fragen, die wir selber stellen. Das macht Spaß, sogar wenn es um den ‚römischen Gruß‘ geht.

This may be the first ever review published about BadAncient.com, a website that was set up during Covid lockdowns to keep my hands busy, and to teach students how the ancient world still has resonance today!

Thank you UK Disability History and Heritage Hub for hosting us last night. It was great to share some of the stories behind disabled people’s campaigns for transport access. We’re really proud to be part of the community preserving and celebrating them.

Thanks again for thinking of me for this!

Did Cleopatra Really Die by Suicide Using an Asp (Snake)? Cleopatra VII’s death is one of the most famous scenes in ancient history, usually imagined as a dramatic suicide by asp (snake) bite. But when we examine the ancient evidence closely, the snake begin...

New article out from a new contributor. So glad to have @disabledarchaeo.bsky.social writing for Bad Ancient!

Ever wondered what the evidence says about Cleopatra's death? 👇

Excellent first week of my new exhibition. Had some great conversations with visitors.

Had a lengthy chat today about the layers and layers of accessibility we had to build in - including making our VR piece accessible to vision impaired users.

It's groundbreaking work that deserves attention.

Part of the "At the End of History" exhibition. Pictured are a Victorian Artist's box with a label describing it as well as information about the illustrator Anne Pratt. Behind it is wall text/graphics with the word "Nothing" in purple graffiti overlying this.

The co-produced collage "About Us" from the exhibition "At the End of History." It features work by disabled people associated with this exhibition and has tactile and audio elements/was made to be touched and explored via touch and audio as well as via sight.

Last week, I went to go visit @karlantmercer.bsky.social 's "At the End of History," at @dovermuseum.bsky.social and had a fantastic day out. The VR portion of the exhibit is like nothing I've ever experienced before. Highly urge everyone to see this exhibit before it closes. #DisHist
