I just got back from a conference, and let me tell you what I learned about moving forward in these United States:
We can't let them take our joy, and they will not take away science.
The first priority is caring for one another.
Building and growing equitable communities is winning.

Apparently we made a bit of a kerfluffle on reddit when someone posted this to www.reddit.com/r/Archaeology/ Apparently some folks are surprised that archaeology 🏺 is political.
And to the person who commented that @iwriteok.bsky.social wrote the post--no, he would have made it funnier, sorry.
