The bulbous ends of two pieces of bull kelp (Nerocystis luetkiana) carved into grinning jack o lanterns. They are on a rocky beach and you can see waves in the background.

For my algae heads: happy spooky season!

Irish breakfast is my fav for the morning! Also green tea and rooibos

According to Turkish activist and Global Sumud Flotilla participant Ersin Celik, who was recently released : “They dragged little Greta Thunberg by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others.”

This is so fucking sadistic. I’d like to hear the hasbara merchants try to defend this most recent depravity.

White text on Black background. Statement on American Cultural Resource Management Companies and Saudi Arabia In recent days, the news of comedians accepting money from the government of Saudi Arabia to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival has cast a spotlight on the ethics surrounding business ties to a government with a documented history of human rights abuses including slavery, the murder of journalists, and financial support of terrorism. While the current media cycle focuses on the involvement of celebrity comedians, we take this opportunity to condemn the lesser known, but no less unethical, business relationships between the American cultural resource management industry and the government of Saudi Arabia. Namely, Chronicle Heritage, AECOM, and WSP each have extensive contracts with the Saudi government, with Chronicle Heritage specifically providing archaeological services to the Saudi government through the Royal Commission for Al-Ula to support the development of their cultural tourism industry. These business entanglements are especially troubling as they directly support the advancement of development projects that will almost certainly be carried out by exploited slave laborers, as is the case with countless projects sponsored by the Saudi government. As a collective of cultural resource management professionals organizing for better labor conditions for archaeological technicians in the United States, Unionizing American Archaeology stands in solidarity with exploited workers around the globe, and strongly condemns the participation of American CRM companies in Saudi government development projects. Archaeological technicians who work for multiple companies on a contract basis are in a unique position to take a stand against this massive ethical violation by refusing employment offers from companies with business relationships with the Saudi government. We urge archaeological technicians to refuse work with Chronicle Heritage, AECOM, WSP, and an…

I sure hope my audio doesn't skip or cut out weird in the middle of one of these lectures I'm recording bc I sure as shit am not listening to my own voice for 18 minutes to confirm that 🤞

I'll never forget the day my field school at Cahokia was rained out and our PIs drove us around the outskirts of East St. Louis pointing out the buildings, parking lots, and overpasses where mounds used to be. A whole history of Indigenous urbanism+ceremony erased. What a huge win for the Osage!

RIP to the Oakland As 😭😭😭

I'm just excited to have a team I can root for in the playoffs this year lmao

Just as the lack of affordable housing and influx of techbros into the San Francisco Bay Area led me to betray my hometown and move to the PNW, so to has the Giants' lack of playing good baseball forced me to abandon them for the welcoming arms of the Mariners this postseason

This is so much funnier if you're familiar with San Rafael, which is a richy rich city full of high strung white people 😂

I have been forcing myself to get up before 7 this week and my first thought this morning as I was turning off my alarm was "I can't keep living like this" 😅

I wish there was any chance of me being able to watch this without having a panic attack the second the dog is in even minor peril 😂

Truly all I want is to be able to develop a class solely focused on archaeological sensitivity assessments

I'm such a sicko for conducting archaeological sensitivity assessments, it's truly embarrassing 😂

Signs Referencing Climate Change Along with Web Pages Removed from Acadia National Park The Bar Harbor Story is generously sponsored by The Witham Family Hotels Charitable Fund.

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

State-level anti-transgender laws increase past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people in the USA Nature Human Behaviour - From 2018 to 2022, 48 anti-transgender laws were enacted in the USA across 19 states. This study shows that these anti-transgender laws increased past-year suicide attempts...

there was a new study published *today* in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%.

when we say that the New York Times (and other rags of equal repute) is killing us, that's because *IT IS LITERALLY KILLING US*

Aaaaa they were so teeny and adorable that I missed them!! I love it!

Playmobil figure kitted out as prehistoric iceman Ötzi.

#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit.
Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil.
