New post from the Pope, summarized: Not only did the Pope say your AI slop is against the very essence of Being, but also that it’s UGLY

my parents are incredible because kids come to our neighborhood to trick or treat from all over brooklyn so they gave out tons of candy AND a pocket copy of the US Constitution to everyone (shoutout @aclu.org) #Halloween

A miniature basket of candy holds chocolate and gummy worms and the US Constitution. This is just what they have left. Everything else was taken including the rest of the Constitutions.

Caught covid at work (I’m guessing from the anti-vax folks) and did a telemedicine appointment last night while miserable to get prescription for paxlovid. Woke up to this. Nevermind then!

Not sure what the hashtag will be, but come see me at ICMS!!!! @kzooicms.bsky.social I will be talking about the #medieval well we just found at Bamburgh Castle!

Screencap of ICMS schedule.
“Well, Well, Well: Finding the Third Medieval Well of Bamburgh Castle. Saturday, May 10, 2025
Sangren Hall 4520
Will be held in person.

This paper is a project update regarding the search for a medieval well at Bamburgh Castle in northern England by the Bamburgh Research Project, a nonprofit archaeological field school. The well was discovered in the summer of 2024, and it proved to be unlike the other medieval wells on-site.”

The Department of Defense just told all their overseas teachers that there are no more cultural awareness events, to remove pronouns from emails, stop referring to gender on forms, and of course stop all talk of “gender ideology” or “discriminatory equity ideology.” #education #teachers

Text of DOD letter ending cultural awareness months and the acknowledgement of gender or equity.

Penn Museum is LYING AGAIN about the nature of their engagement with us, Finding Ceremony. We are a group of scholars and descendant community members advocating for the transfer of the Morton Cranial Collection 19thC race science) to descendants to lay to rest. #anthropology #repatriation

Screencap of interview transcript from Outside In Radio.
“Felix Poon: Yeah. And so will the museum be engaging with finding ceremony any differently?
Rachel Watkins: Well I mean, as I understand it, there's already been engagement with finding ceremony that that's been ongoing, and it's likely that that will continue.”

Luckily, the commission did come down of the side of scholars from outside the communities shutting TF up and listening for once. And then this line had me HOWLING because it’s exactly what Penn Museum did before burying the 19 Black Philadelphians.

Black text on white paper. A few sentences are boxed in blue pen with a star in the margin.
“Respondents in Canada and Japan, and also among African American descendant communities, spoke of the difficulties that emerge when researchers and others take shortcuts with respect to consent, choosing token representatives who are aligned with their projects. They understood these practices as attempts to circumvent authentic informed consent. They are unethical, and they disempower descendant communities by performing a kind of "consultation" without following tribal or community protocols. Our respondents believed that research collaboration or cooperation must follow descendant decisions.”

Clockwise from top left: a man pushing a GPR cart in the bailey of a castle, a woman takes notes at a surveyor’s tripod, a far view of the castle with a green field in the foreground, and red headed woman digs out a blocked doorway as seen from above.
