Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Wake up! It’s Day 61 of walking around Japan with shiba 🇯🇵🐾 #IYKYK I’m obessedddddd

Is it Friday yet

Genuinely one of the most subversive and interesting things I’ve seen in ages about the UK archaeological profession. @sarahmay1.bsky.social, where did you pose this question and how did I miss reading it?!?! Spot on. The abject misery of our profession has not gone unnoticed <

Lol this sign "Do not bring food into the library Food residue will attract mice Mice will acquire knowledge in the library Get into university Then replace you" 😂

Anti-SNARF FTW 💪🏻 @lornarichardson.bsky.social

PREACH! What’s archaeology’s role as advocates & enablers? Build build build (preceded by dig dig dig) is ‘good’ for us; but can’t ignore impacts on communities & lives. Renewable infrastructure is coming in a BIG way. Our position within nature recovery efforts shld begin w/ landscape impacts.

The bag I store my patience in for 2025

Annual team meeting this week. What could be a VERY high stress situation for some is instead one of the most joyful and relaxing events in my calendar. It’s a rare feeling to look around the room and trust everyone in it, and to feel them add energy to each other rather than take it away. Proud.

Just signed up for a Royal Academy weekend drawing class that will be learning g to draw animals with a LIVE OWL. I am awash with childlike wonder at this opportunity.

🚨😍NEW SWAG DAY 😍🚨 It’s my favourite holiday!!! This year’s edition voted on by our Venturers and subscribers. I LOVE IT

*HYPERVENTILATING* and very proud to have an advance copy of @moudhy.bsky.social new book. I suspect this gorgeous golden volume will be every bit as magical as the bite-sized cuneiform tales Moudhy has been enthralling us all with on social media since the Before Times. Ready to get reading 😍 📖

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

Wow

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

My coworker is an immigrant from Afghanistan. She said “I survived three wars. If you have lentils and water, we can get through this. I will make sure.”

Phew. Well that was fun.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

In other news, I am very close to choosing violence today.
