don't @ me in your tagging games i'm not going to continue them - notes on how i tag in my pinned post for clarification - unreality comes in the form of welcome home, mandela catalogue, goncharov. these are all much less frequent now.
Have just started reading a book by an indigenous archaeologist (Paulette Steeves) and this seems like a really good thing for me, and for all archaeologists, to keep in mind as we work:
academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”
"I wish it was a dream. Oh, mom and dad. I wish it was a dream and my mom and dad are still alive" after being rescued from underneath the rubble to find his parents killed by Israel.
Share this, we are not numbers. Let our voices be heard in hopes that this stops.
thinking about how bigotry has gotten even more overt in recent years to the point where queer/characters of color/fat characters can simply exist and will be seen as the "evil woke agenda" and not real life people who exist 😭
