Trying to read Binford with this book cover in mind really gives it this energy 😂

Giving a lecture on settlement archaeology this week so you KNOW I had to include my favorite archaeological book cover of all time 😂🏺

The original cover art for Lewis Binford's book "In Pursuit of the Past: Decoding the Archaeological Record" which features a scene of 4 people outside, 2 in traditional Inuit clothing. In the foreground is a photo of the author, a white man in his 60s with white hair and a beard wearing a sweater vest and big 1980s-era glasses who is gesturing like he is mid-lecture. (He looks like a dweeb)

From the archive. Society increasingly accepts gender identity as existing along a spectrum. The study of people, and their remains, shows that sex should be viewed the same way. Read more: www.sapiens.org/biology/inte...

I have barely been holding my shit together for the last month, I am so scared y'all there is no way I am making it through even a week without my meds without fucking up something to an unsalvageable degree

tbh it feels like malpractice for the psychiatrist treating your ADHD to fail to send you the reminder they agreed to send you to schedule a follow-up appointment to get your meds refilled. so anyways I am completely fucked for the next 2 weeks AT LEAST

This is so fucking sadistic. I’d like to hear the hasbara merchants try to defend this most recent depravity.

According to Turkish activist and Global Sumud Flotilla participant Ersin Celik, who was recently released :

“They dragged little Greta Thunberg by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others.”

This weekend in Eugene, OR!

Dr. Angry Anarchist (Free 🇵🇸) @archhelmer.bsky.social · 26d

Heads up for parents in the Eugene area! There will be a letter-writing event for kids to write letters/draw pictures to send to children in the occupied West Bank on October 4th at the public library!

A brightly colored event flyer. The background is red with watermelon seeds and there is a band of green on the bottom third of the image. The main text reads "Penpals for Palestine. Children's Letter Writing. Eugene Public Library. Bascom/Tykeson Room." There are green bubbles in the top corner of the flyer with the date (October 4th 2025) and time (1-4pm) of the event. The text on the green band at the bottom of the image reads "The children living in the West Bank need some light and compassion. Let's let them know they have friends in Eugene who are thinking of them!" with larger text below that reads "Building bridges from our families to theirs."

NSF GRFP is out 2.5 months late w/key changes

1. 2nd year graduate students not eligible.

2. "alignment with Administration priorities"

3. Unlike prior years, they DO NOT specify the expected number of awards... that is a BIG problem.

I'll never forget the day my field school at Cahokia was rained out and our PIs drove us around the outskirts of East St. Louis pointing out the buildings, parking lots, and overpasses where mounds used to be. A whole history of Indigenous urbanism+ceremony erased. What a huge win for the Osage!

Just as the lack of affordable housing and influx of techbros into the San Francisco Bay Area led me to betray my hometown and move to the PNW, so to has the Giants' lack of playing good baseball forced me to abandon them for the welcoming arms of the Mariners this postseason
