I’m in the USA and there is a foot of snow at my brothers and a polar blast forecast for Saturday. Actual heaven

At Heathrow listening to an Asian dad explain what a turducken is and why people eat them to his (10?) year old daughter. My heart is full

Now that I have seen this *actually happen*, I’m not sure what’s left to make me feel anything. Peaked

It’s not all bad news. Plenty of people still care quite a lot about archaeology. They are out there and nothing can stop them. Take heart! Courage 💪🏻

I’m very interested in hearing from any employers/ees who have a Neurodiversity policy as part of their standard package. And also whether this includes both Support (for protected characteristics) as well as Accountability (for agreed performance standards). Pls get in touch!

This makes me extremely happy. I was editor of Current Arch at the time of the dig, I knew theppl+process+permissions it had to go thru. The film was a lazy trope about who archaeologists are + how our work happens. It pissed me off and I’m glad to hear Coogan et al are being hit in the wallet.

Transitioning from someone ‘doing’ to ‘leading’ for people like me (not guided through it by a Board or big org hierarchy) is really tough. I’ve had to search hard and be open to constant learning. The biggest lesson so far is constant vigilance against being instantly ‘othered’ is essential.
