Hey! Are you sure being on social media is what you need right now? Maybe you'd be better served by a book, a Discord call with friends, or diving face-first into a tub of chocolate pudding.

If socials are right? Then great. But please be good to yourselves.

Check out this important new paper, co-written by IPIA scholars Dr. Kisha Supernant ( @archaeomapper.bsky.social) and Solène Mallet Gauthier (@somag.bsky.social), on confronting and disrupting "grey zones" in Canadian archaeology 🏺

A good read!

That's what I tell myself too!!

Star Trek The Original Series scene, 4 screenshots. We're on the bridge of the Enterprise and see what some would describe as an intimate conversation between famous workplace associates Kirk and Spock. (Spock in blue uniform and Kirk in gold.) Pics 1 and 2 focused on Spock speaking. Closed caption reads, "Captain.... You almost make me believe in luck." Pics 3 and 4 are now focused on Kirk, who's looking like a cheekyboi. Closed caption reads, "Why Mr. Spock...You almost make me believe in miracles."

Well, UChicago has paused new PhD admissions in my department now, too. One of the flagship departments for anthropology in the US and worldwide.

This on top of hum, social thought, social work, and others. What happens to UChicago's brand--the so-called "life of the mind"--now?

Very much looking forward to this book!

fantastic fiction page for Martha Wells. The text reads: Platform Decay (the eighth book in the Murderbot Diaries series). Coming 2026. Cover to be revealed

Israel just killed him.

Heritage Minutes: Acadian Deportation The Acadians are descendants of early French settlers who arrived in Nova Scotia in 1604 and built a distinct culture and society over generations. Their peaceful existence was uprooted in 1755 when over 10,000 Acadians were ripped from their homeland to ensure British rule in North America. This Heritage Minute portrays the deportation through the eyes of an Acadian mother. *Learn more on _The Canadian Encyclopedia_* : Acadian Expulsion: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/the-deportation-of-the-acadians-feature History of Acadia: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/history-of-acadia Acadian Heritage: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/collection/culture-in-acadia *FOLLOW US!* Instagram: https://instagram.com/historicacanada/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistoricaCanada TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@historicacanada Facebook: https://facebook.com/Historica.Canada/ Pinterest: https://pinterest.ca/historicac/_saved/ *More educational content at* : historicacanada.ca thecanadianencyclopedia.ca *Credits* : Mother – Nancy Kenny Father – Fabien Melanson Grandmother – Murlane Carew Narrator – Nancy Kenny End Narration – Antonine Maillet (https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/antonine-maillet) Director – Tess Girard Director of Photography – Guy Godfree Producer - Ryan J.

an archaeologist leans over a drawing frame across an open excavation unit to draw a feature

The Fort St-Louis project has wrapped for the season! One last photo - here an archaeologist adopts a spring peeper pose to map a feature (also known as archaeology yoga!) @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social @mnhnovascotia.bsky.social @can-arch.bsky.social #archaeology

OK, gather 'round, kiddies - let's do a "why are lawyers like this" thread.

Alberta bans ‘sexually explicit’ books from school libraries, restricts materials about puberty, menstruation Students in Grade 9 and below can also no longer check out literature referencing romance, including kissing and handholding

Another blue trade bead! And a mini overview of some of the artifacts that we see from Fort St-Louis - fine and utilitarian ceramics, flakes of stone from ballast flint, and some glass wares. All windows into daily life at the fort! #archaeology @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social @can-arch.bsky.social

B) sometimes I do service because, if I didn't, a person with less power would be harmed (e.g., tenure)

C) women are treated very differently when we say no to these types of requests

Want to see more of this field season’s artifacts (of course you do)? Stop by the Open House at the Old Courthouse Museum in Barrington Thursday July 10 from 6-8pm to see what we’ve found! #archaeology #fieldwork @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social @can-arch.bsky.social
