Thank you for listening to us and responding! Many of us have been working to shed light on the pseudoscience of cosmic catastrophism.
Sickening. The government must legislate to tackle the ongoing holding, display and collection of human remains acquired through enslavement and colonisation.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh… Part of my journey to the Murphy side of the family tree in County Kilkenny just outside of Waterford. My 4th great-grand-father Patrick Murphy married Catherine Ivery in 1791, and they would go on to have 4 children baptized in the same parish in Slieverue. 🇮🇪☘️

“Fhalla na cathrach mean aoisigh”- the Irish for medieval city wall. And the walls do talk if you are an archaeologist. Waterford, also the “birthplace”of the Irish flag?? Or is this mythology? 🤔 🇮🇪
Continuing exploring Ireland this week… It’s no @ravenbooks.bsky.social of Blackrock 😉, but when in Midleton, check out the local book shop! 🇮🇪
Dia duit ó Éirinn! @sorryforlaughing.bsky.social & @archhelmer.bsky.social as promised - “Kindred Spirits” sculpture visit in Midleton, Ireland. Go raibh maith agat, Choctaw Nation, for caring for my ancestors.
As an archaeologist and soil scientist myself in Kansas, who relies on the work of NRCS folks, this is a well-written piece! Thank you. kansasreflector.com/2025/03/04/h...
Here's the latest from Hays, Kansas: Elon Musk fired my wife • Kansas Reflector
If the suddenness of the firing and its financial impact weren’t enough, the baseless claim of poor performance added insult to injury.

A goal of mine for years, I will make the journey to see the Kindred Spirits sculpture near Cork next week! Id like to think the Choctaw money dirtely helped my ancestors who werent far from the area www.atlasobscura.com/places/kindr...
'Kindred Spirits' Sculpture
A tribute to the incredible generosity the Choctaw Nation showed the Irish people during the Great Famine.

Moss Elixir@sorryforlaughing.bsky.social · last yr.Out of nowhere today I woke up thinking about how, at covid’s height, Irish people donated to indigenous US tribes in memory of how the Choctaw nation donated to Ireland during the famine & if there’s any future for humanity as inhumanity runs amok, there it is. I gotta do more.

The government has yet to disclose how many lost their jobs, despite repeated inquiries. Many of those affected, however, shared their stories, and their fears for the agencies they once served.

Today - the news that Haskell Indian Nations University here in Kansas has been impacted by Trump’s cuts. Isn’t this a treaty violation? Tonight - I am struck by Joy Harjo’s poem in a new way … “by the authority of a piece of paper” theindianleader.com/2025/02/14/h...
