1. talking about how people will tell *non-white* Egyptian archaeologists to put shit back
2. you're assuming I'm talking about POC only when I'm not
3. insisting on ignoring context and nuance isn't going to decolonise a field, actually

Probably not tbh. This attitude of "calling out" archaeologists, primarily those in Egypt but other non-white/non-Western countries as well, has become the standard in most online spaces. The headline can say "Egyptian team discovers X", and people will still say shit like "put it back, robbers!"

Honestly, that rhetoric ("archaeology is grave-robbing") has been gaining traction in online spaces again over the past few years and it's been doing my head in. It's performative at best and actively damaging at worst.

"Only give praise" is not what they said, you insipid banjo. If you can't properly interpret a message delivered with words, maybe you aren't the best person to have an opinion on books, which require at least a bare minimum of reading comprehension. Just saying.

It was well out of reach of the 4 y/o, but therein lay the problem: I put them all away just before she was born, and then forgot the storage spaces for roughly half of them. So every once in a while: surprise knife!

About 10% of the joy in having piercings is my younger sister's face whenever I get a new one tbh.

You are so right, actually, I can't believe I didn't clock that. I do also have a butterfly because nothing signifies the passage between states like a butterfly does. Be fearless, become soup.

Okay actually not most, I did the math and I've actually been doing gymnastics longer *after* the vaulting table was introduced than I had before it, but still. That horse was fucking terrifying, that shit lingers man.

Important note: Apep also isn't evil in the same way a tsunami or desert storm isn't evil, yet incredibly destructive. But at least Apep very definitely wants to destroy creation and is a big bastard snake.

Het is ook gewoon zo'n gek idee, dat religie en wetenschap elkaars tegenpolen zouden zijn. Ironisch genoeg is het ook anti-intellectualisme, want als je weigert de nuance te zien ben je sowieso al niet bezig met het verkrijgen en uitbreiden van (de eigen) kennis.

Love how people who know me know when I'm vagueing 😂😂 this time a compound of various anti-theists being nonsensical in my peripheral tbh 🤣

They're always the ones who'll go "facts don't care about your feelings sweatie :)" too and it's like damn bro are you claiming you can tell the difference between those, because research has shown otherwise

Religion and science are the opposite of mutually exclusive and it will never cease to amuse me when guys like this bend over backwards to not have to hold with that kind of nuance.

No wait I lied, funniest type of guy is the one who comes down with the vapours, just goes like straight up apopleptic, when you say the Bible is a historical document
