My favourite genre of reports of post-medieval sites in Estonia are the ones that absolutely refuse to date any structure despite COPIOUS amounts of finds AND written information/maps about the development of the plot

Raske puudega täiskasvanute õdede-vendade jaoks tuttavad teemad, aga mu vend sai LÕPUKS tugiisiku avalduse kinnituse - 2 h nädalas on rohkem kui 0 h nädalas. Selline sasipundar, et pean endale skeemid joonistama, et aru saada, miks tema ja ühe väikese seltskonna teenus lõpetati

A great article on biomolecular #archaeology in the Baltics has been just published by Ester Oras (IMHO one of the most outstanding archaeologists from Estonia today). How does novel science happen if your institution is non-central/non-western & has limited resources & staff? What are the benefits?

Alright, I know the academic reviewing system is a bit insane BUT I have to admit, as an #earlycareerresearcher I am quite keen to review articles that are a good fit for my profile. I feel it makes me a better writer & introduces me to new ideas, particularly as my local field is TINY & my topics

Mulle meeldib infokirju lugeda-sirvida (väga) ja mul on mitu Google Scholar otsiagenti sisse lülitatud, aga kui peale väga lühikest puhkust arvuti taha naastes (4 tööpäeva) on ühes postkastis 120 ja teises 30 uut kirja ja päris otseselt tööd puudutavaid kirju on vaid 5-6... hmm

We hunted colours in #Gdańsk on Sunday & I picked green. A few minutes later I stumbled upon these green novelty socks with Marie Skłodowska-Curie on them. Oddly fitting as I planned my weekend getaway to fall on the dates directly after the #MSCA deadline. Pricey, but I obviously had to get them

Parandan ja parandan ja parandan ja parandan seda MSCA taotlust (järeldoktorantuur), natuke nagu lõputu küünlapäev, aga tegelikult näeb juba päris ilus välja ja lõhki pole ka kirjutatud (kõige olulisemal osal on max 10 lk), AGA parandusi on ikka veel ees terve päeva-kahe jagu

I received this RG back in 2020 just as everything went into lockdown - @postmedarch.bsky.social was so flexible & I was able to shift things around & ended up discovering a long-lost document at the National Archives of Estonia which has now been given its own accession number: EAA.1850.1.1125a!

To make myself acutely aware of how quickly time passes, I set a bunch of calendar notifications on the #MSCA deadline at random points this summer. Although I'm fully aware it is September 9, I get a jolt each time one pops up which, funnily enough, is actually quite motivating

I’ve returned to the early days of my career as a palate cleanser from all the glass - my BA was on metal needlework items & now my days are filled with #thimbles again.
