I was checking e-Bird’s sighting maps this morning for some of my spring friends… they’re almost here! Eeee

The 1918 flu called and it...’s just laughing

posting this 'ol thing again for no reason

What was normalized in Gaza will have lasting effects on the entire world. It was a signal to the worst of humanity that they can get away with even livestreamed genocide. And we see that very genocide expanding today, and Trump joining in not under cover like Biden, but front & center.

Me upon waking: I’m gonna have such a productive day today, gonna get so much work done, not gonna get distracted at all!

Trump: HAH think again b*tch

Seeing a lot of US accounts talking about "nuclear war" and the "threat" to them when the real horror of this right now is the US performing a nuclear-armed genocide, or conventionally delivered massive crimes against humanity, and you all really need to remember the lives of other people matter.

What I gather from this ancient Babylonian dialogue (and others) is that we have grappled with injustice for millennia. We've talked about it with our friends, and we've felt understandably depressed. How can we not?

But we will keep fighting, and the smoke will clear one day...

This statement adds to a growing list of empty statements from the Canadian government which enables globally recognized atrocity crimes while functionally ignoring the Palestinian people. Canada unequivocally shrugs at its own impotence.

Reflexive hatred of journalists and journalism as a whole is one of those right wing behaviors that doesn't get treated as such because the institution of journalism is in really bad shape, for reasons not actually journalist's fault. I am not a journalist so you cant get mad at me for saying this

There’s still time to take our survey about the landscape of science communication and share your experience

I was part of the Global/First Nations University of Canada investigation into Indigenous procurement back in 2024. We knew there were problems, but it turns out we were just scratching the surface.

I think we’d all be fcked if we were judged by our various uncles’ political views 😬 I’ve got like a dozen uncles, what… how…

A Sisyphean struggle

Under protection from the Israeli military, Jewish supremacist settlers carried out a massive pogrom against Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank over Eid weekend.

Destruction of cultural heritage is not tangential to other genocidal acts, it is itself a crucial tactic of genocide that seeks to erase the very history of a people on the lands they call home 🏺

Ontario to introduce bill exempting Premier, cabinet from FOI requests Government’s proposed changes follow its loss of court battle over call logs for Ford’s personal cellphone

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions.

Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

Yes, and also I love finding other cool archaeos & anthros on here. Clearly you fit the bill. Hi! 👋 😊

The field of archaeology was developed as a tool of imperialism and settler colonialism and every attempt to depoliticize archaeology is an abdication of our responsibility to actively undo the harms of our predecessors through reparative justice🏺

Ok so I just moved and have been sick so I have hardly touched my phone or interacted with the world in about a week and uuuuuh I missed a lot, huh? 😬

Doug Ford can go (BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP)

A REQUEST: I have a student who is wheelchair bound+their dream is to participate in an archaeological
excavation... not a "token" desk job but for real, to dig. Their disability means they have to stay in the chair. What is out there for opportunities/adaptive aids etc? 🏺 (shared w their blessing)

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

I’m moving this month and I try not to think about it.

I hope the new place is close enough that at least some of our backyard friends will find us again
