This is patently false. I have been an archaeologist for 16 years, and have never worn a shirt with “archaeologist” on it at work for two very simple reasons:

1) Advertising the presence of a possible archaeological site draws looters who may show up after hours and disturb fragile contexts in the hunt for black market artifacts.

2) Hearing there are archaeologists working in the area draws every Looky-Lou within a one-mile radius to ask you the same 10 questions about your job and what you are specifically working on over and over again, preventing you from getting any actual work done.

Landowners and local officials will definitely show up asking questions if you are caught digging on land that isn’t yours without a permit. Stick with a hardhat, orange vest, and boring job description if you want to be left alone.

Sometimes I want to be hopelessly in love, but I don't want to be

Hmm...

[le-gracon-introverted]

Putting this here as a reminder if I never need to show it.

cops are taking selfies with these privileged bastards

[le-gracon-introverted]

in light of this news, I do wanna say this for anyone who needs it: staying informed/in the loop and doomscrolling are two different things, and it's important for your mental health to know what that difference is for you.

it's essential now more than ever to make sure that we're in the loop with current events and politics. this post is absolutely not advocating for ignoring the news, especially considering factors such as privilege. if you're able to, please do try to stay informed. but there comes a point where information can become too much (particularly when you belong to a marginalized group), causing stress, anxiety, and burnout. being an informed citizen shouldn't come at the expense of your wellbeing.

right now, please ask yourself: am I checking the news to stay up to date, or am I checking it because I'm scared? am I following current events to enhance my understanding, or am I following it because I'm too anxious to tear away?

if you feel rising panic, dread, and anxiety that's spiraling, it's time to step back. being an informed citizen doesn't mean agonizing over things you can't control. when that happens, it's time to reign yourself back in.

consider this post a checkpoint, especially if you're an American, black/a person of color, a marginalized identity (be it religious, gender/sexuality, or disability), or any combination thereof. it's alright to step back and care for yourself.

allow yourself room to breathe. it'll be okay. you'll be able to step back in when you're ready.

While most unions are good I beg to differ on one. It's the police unions

You want to know why so much racial discrimination in the police force is covered up?

Why so many rotten cops get to keep their job with a measly time out

It's the unions sitting on the head.

There need to be unions, yes. But unions need to exist for the right thing
