A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

I've been asking Nintendo for dev kits for years, but they are insistent on "games should be good or fun to play, preferably both"

We at Nintendo of America can't just give dev kits away willy nilly.

Certificate stating my co-authored work 'Ethics and applications of isotope analysis in archaeology' was one of the top cited articles in American Journal of Anthropology between Jan 1 2024 and Dec 31 2024.

I'm such a sucker for lil milestones- a co-authored work of mine is among the American Journal of Biological Anthropology's top 10 most-cited papers published by the journal in 2024 #TopCitedArticle

Bioarchaeology, Activism and Social Justice This is an open access book. This volume is the first dedicated to action within bioarchaeology that can bring about social and political change.

We don't have enough open access resources for reading about ethics, and there's some really great looking chapters in there. I'm excited to spend some time with this! 🏺🧪link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-032-1...

Pop Leo asked if he should put on gloves to turn pages in the gorgeous Renaissance Bible and the librarian explained why it’s better to do so with bare hands. Glorious reaction.

Every rare books librarian & archivist feeling very seen, I gather. www.instagram.com/reel/DUcpEBY... #BookHistory

I contributed a small part to this research, but what fun and interesting research it was! And now, my dog Hatch has had his first modeling job.

Something that's striking for me in this photo isn't just that the other two women are also so genuinely happy to be up there, I adore the different poses. Kaori looking poised with her perfect posture and foot turned out, and Ami with her bubbly enthusiasm.

Map of the US with bubble markers in dark red and blue. The blue is 'Old Glory Blue', and the red is slightly brighter than Old Glory Red to be more discernible with color blindness.

I'd love to know instances where scientists chose certain color palettes to tell their data's story. For example, when I worked on a project in partnership with the DoD, I made use of a color palette reminiscent of the American flag.
