Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

Can folks in the know please share good local community groups for donations/ support for people impacted by the floods in Alaska? I'd love to donate and signal boost.

I agree! Especially now as we navigate how to cope with students leaning on the pastoral side (what do we owe them with care for their educational growth vs ensuring we make it clear we are not mental health professionals). This has gotten worse in the last 3-4 yrs and especially now.

I love it when my weird archaeology career takes me to places where I get to meet amazing humans so I can fangirl hard and bask in fellow nerdery. Truly the best. 10/10 stars can recommend.

Graham Platner is a fascinating candidate and has a real chance against the decrepit mummy that is Susan The Spineless.

Angus Graham needs to retire. It is not ageist or ableist to ask for people who are hale of mind and body to be representing us in Congress. I am NOT talking about people like Sen Baldwin, please learn to read. John Fetterman has had strokes and also needs to retire.

Janet Mills has done a wonderful job as Governor. I'm from Maine and she embodies the best kind of Mainer- tough, kind, generous, and neighborly. As much as I like her, she is 77, and needs to enjoy retirement. We need fresh ideas and fresh faces in the Senate, not near Octogenarians.

At @ihr.bsky.social we can now offer PhD by Publication in History! For those with a substantial body of existing published research (within past 10 years), but without a PhD, should be of particular interest to #heritage professionals and independent scholars!

Up early with horrid jetlag. The only solution is to make donuts while drinking a gallon of coffee.

About 12 years ago, @clipo.bsky.social and T. Hunt introduced the #WalkingMoai hypothesis 👣🗿 about how the sculptures on #EasterIsland Rapa Nui may have been moved from the quarries to their final locations, combining oral tradition and #ExperimentalArchaeology:

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

Everyone I know feels the same. When this fascist flaming dog shit phase ends, as they all do, I wish them a very Happy Season Of Finding Out, Read Some History Books.

(their ending will leave you hanging!)
