You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Hectic last few weeks! Today is my 18th Monday. Recent events in my life: I’m painting my living room. Oh yeah, and I was promoted to Director of Laboratory and Curation Management at work.

Last year, I initiated cleanup and disposition of over 1400 boxes of “Legacy Collections”from many of our offices (completion pending) Collections from various investigations conducted as early as 1980. Ask me about my work! I call this the “Everything but the kitchen sink…oh look a bathroom sink!”

Apparently it is “ill advised” to make sure “Money Money Money” by ABBA is playing during a scheduled visit from the CEO. I am now currently compiling a playlist. Suggestions welcome.

I’m tired of waking up like “WHY THE FUCK ARE WE LETTING THIS HAPPEN?” Huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Not allowed to use pronouns in your email signature any more and scared of retribution for not removing? Try malicious compliance! There are other ways to indicate preference outside of the binary. Sincerely, Archaeoashley, NB Archaeoashley, Per Tiz, Fren, Div, Ind, etc.

“I have been assured by a very knowing acquaintance…, [that the ruling elite] are a most delicious nourishing and wholesome meal, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled. I do therefore humbly offer it to public consideration…” One person’s satire is another’s instruction manual…

Closely watching how private CRM firms are handling things. 👀 We will see who cares about protection and mitigation of resources and descendant communities.

“These companies are committed to their DEI programs…” …Congrats?… Do they want a participation trophy? The bar is literally on the floor 🙄 I’d be more impressed if these corporations gave their workers livable wages AND shares of the profits so they can benefit off of their own work/effort.

Can we just talk about how just because the “government” ended their DEI programs does not mean that corporations HAVE to roll back their own DEI programs. They don’t HAVE to do it. Capitalism fucking sucks, bro.

Fun fact: it would take someone who earns $65,000 a year over 15,000 years to earn 1 billion dollars. Almost 50% of American households earn less than 75,000 a year. Let’s let the net worth of these billionaires sink in. It’s the Vortex machine and I am not Zaphod Beeblebrox.

Today is not pleasant. Yesterday was… gross. It’s going to be a long four years. But in other news… the orca designs are trending on my various platforms again. May the orca energy be with you ✨

Spending today drafting consultation letters and collaboration emails to my local THPOs. Much more preferable than most things this week.

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school. Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

"Archaeology has always been about people. We’ve become so specialized that there is a tendency sometimes to forget the people. Archaeology helps explain why we are similar and why we are different." (B. Fagan, A Little History of #Archaeology 🏺, New Haven/London 2018.)
Drawing of  hand undusting, wirh the help of a brush, an apparently ancient pottery vessel with a crack in the rim. In the background the vague silhouettes of people can be seem: a child putting a vessel into the ground next to a woman and a man with another child on his hand next to another woman with an even smaller child on her arm.

Full stop.
Paper door sign that reads “No dig is worth more than its records. If the records are incomplete, the dig is little better than a treasure hunt.” A quote from Brian Fagan.
