"Biological anthropology must reassess museum collections for a more ethical future", a Comment recently released in @NatureEcoEvo nature.com/articles/s4155…

@LaArqueologa You're a rad archaeologist and I've admired you for a while now. I hope you find some healing, I love having you in this world.

Sorry to anyone I've hurt w/ my words or anything I've said that was out of order. I'm trying to find my way out of this dark place. The world isn't helping much. But I'm gonna try. Besos y abrazos a todxs.

TW: suicidal ideation, self harm. Hey y'all. Not sure if this is a good thing 2 do, but...I'm not okay, I haven't been okay for a year. Last week I tried to commit suicide and just did self-harm instead. I've been striking out at loved ones in anger. So, just want 2 say sorry 1/2

@drhannahrobbins You read not one but two straight white lady love triangle plots this batch? You're stronger than me.

Pretty proud to be slashing my To Be Read shelves. 13 books read for 3 books bought ❤️

@VivianLaughlin @Tine_Rass I tried clicking but yeah no dice. Weird!

When two privileged white men sent fossils from our national - indeed, global - heritage to space, our researchers had something to say: bit.ly/40ASTC3 Written by our @PickeringRobyn with @ChrisStantis, @jstpwalsh, @LeMoustier, @UjPalaeo & @Onthatilesmom

@chapps @AM_Christensen Oh crap I thought I had blown the case wide open 😅

@AM_Christensen @ChrisStantis I think that's an optical illusion - the 'beak' is probably the rear leg of the mouse.

I know which one's my favorite, but I want to see what other PPA members think!

@jstpwalsh can't even get into space, just generally in that direction

Is there ever a great time to shoot fossils into space? In this op-ed, we touch on helicopter research, PR stunts, and the colonial mindset of space exploration. With @jstpwalsh, @LeMoustier, @PickeringRobyn, and Dr Dipuo Kgotleng heriuct.co.za/news-content/o…

@nmj428 Whatever it is on their end, that sounds like a really level and fair response from you. Good luck 💙

@nmj428 Oh no, what happened?

The 50th Anniversary of the PPA Logo Competition deadline is (fast) approaching! Send us your idea for a logo to represent the PPA for 1 year (April to April) & will appear on commemorative items at the conference in Los Angeles next year! You have until the 1st Nov!

You can publish on non-human paleopathology too. Its all interlinked #onehealth

The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes just released their signed resolution, supporting @SEACArchaeology's photo policy southeasternarchaeology.org/wp-content/upl…

@TheDeathPodcast oooh gotta find you on the other place!

We have a code to the other place. DM if interested 💙☁️

@this_is_emma @archaeojake @archeologizer @ScienceMagazine @SEACArchaeology I once started a Whatsapp group with some random folks interested in an online isotopes course. We then proceeded to do almost none of the course, but have since vacationed in Greece together. So archaeologists-united-by-chaos has worked before for me!

@ChrisStantis @archaeojake @archeologizer @ScienceMagazine @SEACArchaeology Jake’s met me in person! Once, in a completely non work context because we were in St. Louis for a friends birthday, but it still counts.

@this_is_emma @archaeojake @archeologizer @ScienceMagazine @SEACArchaeology Jake, you need to make a group chat of archaeologists you've never met in person, united only by chaos. It's the collegial thing to do.

@ChrisStantis @archaeojake @archeologizer @ScienceMagazine @SEACArchaeology ….can I also request the tea?

@archeologizer @archaeojake @ScienceMagazine @SEACArchaeology I want to go just to be in the rooms when this happens

@archaeojake @ScienceMagazine @SEACArchaeology My first SEAC is going to be spicy...

@RockDocGeoarch @SmolkaWilly We ran into permissions issues (someone never signed an important document) and so it never got to Youtube 😐 I'm so sorry, I pushed and pushed for months up until my museum account got deactivated.

On 15 Nov, 5 Native American archaeologists share their experiences and challenges in a field created by colonizers, highlighting the importance of recognizing Indigenous traditional knowledge and perspectives. Registration for this online event is free! naturalhistory.si.edu/events/accessi…
