Jasmine Crockett: “Other countries have CEOs that are stepping down & princes that are being indicted — in the United States, crickets. Nothing is happening — we have a president that says that the Epstein files are a hoax because his name is in there more times than I can count”

Puerto Rico ranks #30 in terms of population of all US states and territories.

#30

More than Iowa.
More than Utah.
More than Idaho.

Remind me again why they’re not actually a full blown, VOTING state?

Bison are more environmentally friendly than us white people. Perhaps the Bison aren't the problem.

A registered nurse was doing his duty to check on/care for a fellow human who had just been assaulted and ICE executed him on the street for it. That is America today, and for the foreseeable future, unless ICE is fully abolished.

What an amazing opportunity! If only I had finished my masters and could do this!

I read this paper and it was really interesting and insightful! I am keen to read more of your research

I am not the biggest fan of Sussan Ley but I would like to give her brownie points for her speech to parliament this morning. I give a special mention to David Littleproud & the other member of the LibNats that he was muttering to while their female leader was speaking, but they can't pay attention

Currently watching the News, and live from Parliament both PM Anthony Albanese and Opposition leader Sussan Ley have given thoughtful speeches to respect the victims of the Bondi Attack. This kind of hatred and threat needs national unity, starting with our united parliament.

I have just published a piece about Medieval Graffiti at Salisbury Cathedral on my Substack and blog.

Standing there, surrounded by the soft echo of footsteps and camera shutters, I felt something that archaeology books don’t always give you: not just knowledge, but connection.

Just watching the morning news on the ABC - how do we go from a news story about an indigenous man with dementia being found deceased in a river to being all hunky dory and talking about sport? Why do we move on from tragedy & indigenous deaths so quickly? Why is sport more important?

The 2025 Conference for BABAO is in full swing, and it is really interesting. I really enjoyed the presentation by Dr Alice Rose about her studies on isotopes & rat populations with the Rattus project.

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

I don't think I've read this much philosophy/social theory since my last attempt at an anthropology degree. This ethics in tech class is giving me flashbacks

Ancient DNA reveals diverse community organizations in the 5th millennium BCE Carpathian Basin - Nature Communications A genomic study of 125 individuals from the Carpathian Basin (4800–3900 BCE) reveals different kinship systems in nearby Copper Age communities, and highlights both genetic continuity and contrasting ...

A small bit of carved animal bone in a hand. The top edge has small nicks that suggest the base of teeth of a comb. A set of crossed lines is carved near a broken piercing.

ANOTHER BIT OF #MEDIEVAL WORKED BONE! This seems to be a fragment of a comb from the end of Middle or Late Saxon period, up to about 10th century. The hole is where another piece would be riveted to this, and the base of the teeth is visible across the top.
