I love child-inclusive archaeology so much. It *seems* obvious that kids would have directly or indirectly affected a lot of the material past we look at but it really has taken a sea change of feminist practice for anyone to even ask the questions!

15,000 years ago, in one of the the earliest settled communities in the world, a child collected fine clay from the slow-moving river by her home. She then committed an act familiar to all inveterate play-doh enthusiasts; rolling and and pinching the squishy clay into tiny round balls.

Top of mind especially right now with Initiative 95 hanging in the balance: every year that goes by just underlines what a coup the Raise the Bar amendment was for Colorado's center-right establishment.

NEW: Missouri voters have rejected Amendment 4, which Republicans had passed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments effectively impossible. It would have required initiatives to pass in every congressional district—not just statewide—giving the overwhelmingly red districts a veto

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

Kazakhstan has released the first Amur tiger in the wild in more than 70 years to help restore the extinct Caspian tiger to Central Asia. The restoration project is being done through an MoU signed between Kazakhstan and Russia in 2022.

No wonder other 'leaders' want to get rid of Pedro Sánchez. He speaks the truth: “Climate change kills: ... people ..., our ecosystem, our biodiversity, and it also destroys the things we as a society hold dear – our houses, our businesses, our livestock.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Obviously a lot of reporting today about the possibility of Lucas Herrington being moved onto Hull City for what could be a massive fee. The Colorado Rapids don't play again until August 15.

Grain of salt, but take as you will: RMSJ is told that a fan asked a Colorado Rapids player after the match if this was Lucas Herrington's last game for the Rapids. The player's answer was yes.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.
