Day 6: Weather This broken grave maker covered in snow is at the old RC Burial ground in Harbour Grace, Nfld! I think it was a chest tomb at some point & was rearranged after collapse. There is no legible name, but it's not a pirate! #31DaysofGraves

@lbugrankin.bsky.social speaking at the Svalbard #Archaeology Symposium about Inuit adaptation & trade in Labrador, including these Nfld Regiment shaker plates, from war of 1812 stovepipe hats! No ides why they are there!

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

As @jameswsthomson.com noted already, the sheer audacity of Carney to begin his oil pipeline announcement by mentioning a wildfire that almost levelled the town. WHAT IS EXACERBATING THE WILDFIRES MARK???? MARK???

Have you ever tried to read a scientific journal article and been told “you don’t have access, pay to download this article?” Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay? Instead, you can email the author and ask for a free copy! I’d be delighted to help and answer questions!

A friend I ran into recently asked me "So do you have any trips planned? I feel like you guys are Always travelling somewhere." This is the reputation I want to have in the world 💁‍♀️

Just got an email saying my chapter proposal has been accepted into @drmaryclary.bsky.social & @librarianchef.bsky.social's forthcoming edited volume 'Hauntology'!! Wooo! 🎉 #author #archaeology

Canada has a total ban on company/corporate donations. Only individuals who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents can make contributions and it's capped at $1,750 a year. They still have functioning parties and the sky hasn't fallen in. Quite the opposite... www.elections.ca/content.aspx...

Watching Bones S11 E20 & the big bad just said 'Do you have any idea how hard it is to make a name for yourself in archaeology?' 😂 I'd say just as hard as any science no one wants to fund! #archaeology

So glad my laptop appears to be ok after I just dumped a cup of tea across my table while grumpily reviewing a terrible proposal for gravestone repairs. They won't be happening on my watch, even if I have to dab tea out of my computer!! #conservation

The Odin Stone at Stennis in Orkney was where ‘two persons, generally lovers, desirous to take the promise of Odin,’ would clasp hands through the stone, according to Sir Walter Scott in 1814. When a farmer later destroyed the stone, locals set his house on fire. #WyrdWednesday 🎨 Lady Stafford

NL ended the moratorium on cod in 2024, which seemed sketch, so it's amazing to see the numbers are still going up! Now, don't 👏 overfish 👏 again 👏

Trevor A. Branch@trevorabranch.bsky.social · last mo.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

The point of the movie Starship Troopers is that Paul Verhoeven gets the audience to support the soldiers before slowly revealing to the audience that they’ve been duped into cheering for Nazis. Costumes play a huge role in this, providing a signifier that the humans might be the villains. 1/2

Happy 1 year anniversary of me not dying in a rock climbing accident! I cannot believe it has been a whole year, & 9 months of physio! I've got all but 5-7% of my range of motion back, stairs & slopes are getting better, & my left kneecap is slightly smaller than the right, but I'm alive 🧗‍♀️

Carney and Cabinet tried to bury it. It's Cabinet which is supporting him and his incineration of our children's futures.
