Me to my 11-yr-old: “why are you picking up gross stuff off the ground?!?” Also me: *immediately sees hypocrisy* “ Oh, I taught you that, didn’t I?” #archaeologymoms

I stole this from someone I dont know and I don't even feel bad about it

A picture of an actor in Greek period clothing with like greek junk in the background. The caption, which is the funny bit, says "in 'the Odyssey' (2026), Odysseus speaks with a Boston accent, despite being from Ithaca, which is in New York"

PSA for UGA Press authors (all authors, really): There is a proliferation of sophisticated AI phishing scams going around. Many look legit b/c they hide behind the banner of a "book club." Please don't engage them! Here's a good blog post on the phenomenon. loom.ly/ahTL8A0

My archaeologist self obsessively creating a lego typology as my son builds… At least I don’t care when my nails are wrecked from pulling apart tiny legos.

My book, Protest and Pedagogy: Charlottesville's Black Freedom Struggle and the Making of the American High School, will be published soon. To learn more about it, see the attached flyer.

Protest and Pedagogy:
Charlottesville's Black Freedom Struggle and the Making of the American High School

A timely exploration of the long history of how Black students and teachers shaped the Black freedom struggle Protest and Pedagogy traces how, and in what ways, high school teachers and students sustained and propelled the Black freedom struggle in Charlottesville, Virginia. It centers the relationship between protest and pedagogy within classrooms and the surrounding community of Charlottesville. The story spotlights the resistance of Black teachers and students in the American high school throughout the nation during the twentieth century. Rather than act simply as passive participants in the Black freedom struggle—or outright opponents—Black high school teachers and their students, this book argues, employed a variety of organizing and protest strategies to make schools and communities more just and equitable spaces. Black teachers’ pedagogical approaches in the classroom underpinned protest within and beyond schools. At the same time, Black teacher and student organizing, activism, and protest led to pedagogical reforms in classrooms and schools.

Think actions like the destruction of the East Wing shouldn't happen? We have ONE cultural resource law to keep fed gov in check, & there's a hearing in the senate Wednesday. Call members on the natural resources committee & voice your support for Section 106! preservationaction.org/106-hearing-...

So much wasn't done before demolition of the White House East Wing began. Next week the Senate is holding a hearing on the main process, Section 106, that protects heritage across the country. I think we should expect they're not looking to strengthen it. www.energy.senate.gov/hearings/202...

You have to wonder who has a vested interest in paying for AI-generated articles on random websites smearing academic critics of Colossal and what they call "de-extinction"... www.newscientist.com/article/2490...

This book was born of anger, frustration, love, sadness, and sisterhood. But mostly anger. Five years later, I have a whole new battery of things to be angry about. But I also have an amazing book written with some phenomenal people who show us there is a better way.

Philosophical dilemma: due to a misdelivery, I have a book I didn’t order- a super problematic 1950s nonfiction about the Salem witch trials. Do I recycle? (feels like banning) Do I donate to a free library and know I’m adding to misinformation? What to do with outdated books?

My 10-yr-old has declared he’s adding a “no kisses” rule to the Declaration of Independence.* He still makes more sense than Buddy Carter and his “red white and blueland” bill in Congress. *I have repeatedly explained what he really wants is a Constitutional amendment, but good luck with that.
