These would be so good for conferences!!!

YouTube video by Linnean Society How To Make A Woodland

Last week I gave a talk for the @linneansociety.bsky.social lunchtime lecture series, all about woodland creation! I tried to keep it interesting for non-specialist audiences so, if you fancy an hour of woodland wondering, you can check out the recording here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwoH...

How did it get there?? 😲 Well caught!

It probably helps some people. Not me unfortunately!

Oh that's so useful, thank you! I wish they were compiled into one document though. I guess it just takes a bit of flipping through!

That's pretty likely! I should keep a little notebook of the hive-mind discussions, because a lot of things come up repeatedly in editing...

When #editing #archaeology I usually suggest using 'hearths' instead of 'fireplaces' because hearth seems a more general term, while fireplace seems more specific (implying structure). Do people agree?

Apparently it can be a symptom! Lower estrogen making dryness in their sensitive tissues etc etc... so bizarre!!

I've heard about the itchy ear thing and I'm like... could it be???

The image reads "Having followed your groundbreaking work on linguistic semiotics applied to archaeological contexts (particularly your contributions to [specific field, e.g., "Proto-Sino-Tibetan symbolic systems in ritual bronzes"], I would be privileged to engage you as a specialist academic proofreader to enhance the methodological precision and terminological consistency of this cross-cultural study."

Academics, please don't do this. AI lies. Besides not filling in the blanks correctly, this was not my research area at all. This is a terrible way to approach a proofreader. Please check what you are sending. #AI #editing

That's amazing, congratulations! 🎉

"let copilot help you draft"
"can gemini write that for you"

I have now taken the only reasonable course of action in the circumstances

Joanne if youre reading this go get a fucking life

Googling hasn't helped and I just want to be sure before I suggest a change is needed (my spidey senses are tingling). 🕷️

Archaeology hive mind! 🐝 I'm a bit confused about the meaning of 'infill'. If you are describing the sediment layers of a trench, would you consider that sediment to be 'infill'? 🕳️ 🪏

Fantastic chat with @manvir.bsky.social about the archaeology, anthropology, trances, and drugs of worldwide shamanism is now available! We covered everything, even the gendered dynamic in shaman burials

Joana's Giving Page Like many of you, I have been affected by cancer. I has a cancer diagnosis at the age of 27 - as one of my consultants once said, I was just a "baby". Thankfully, it was treated successfully and relat...

Yesterday my aunt passed away. The third of my mum’s sisters to die of cancer.

And I skip
Today I skipped for my aunt.
Today I didn’t skip 100x
Today I skipped until my legs didn’t want to skip anymore.
Today I skipped 556x

Editors, how much of our role is it when editing non-first language users' work to be like OH NO, CAREFUL NOW, ACTUALLY THAT MEANS SOMETHING REALLY SEXUAL so they avoid potential embarrassment in future, or do we just quietly change it and move on?

Are you on Instagram or Threads? I'd love to spread the word!

Awesome! Super useful, thanks.

Same! Thank you!

It's been a long time since I asked an archaeological language-use hive-mind question! 🪏

In your region (in English), what do you call the heavy machinery that removes the top layer of soil in an excavation? I've always said excavator or digger, but is 'mechanical shovel' common?

a man wearing sunglasses is saying that he wears his sunglasses at night Alt: Corey Hart is singing and wearing sunglasses, and the caption shows the lyrics 'I wear my sunglasses at night'.

I love that!! I was born in the early 80s in Canada so I'm probably just named after Corey Hart...

I made a formula once for all the possibilities! I got into the 20s!!

I keep seeing people say they saw a hornet recently! I saw one yesterday! Is this ok? Are they the non-murderous ones? Are they taking over? Is it the heat? Do we need to burn things?

Finally got around to writing to my mp

Two earrings dangle from a stem of bluebells. They have three books (rust, tan and sage) with gold detail, and a yellow dragon on top with his tail wrapped around the front spines.

I'd be so happy if you could show my newest book dragon earrings some love, and click on the link to see them in my shop and give them a like if you have Etsy! The algorithm gods like it. And if not I'd love a reskeet! 🧡💛🧡💛
