Tired of explaining to my college peers that yes, actually art history is essential knowledge for anyone who is ever in charge of designing concept art for pretty much anything.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

Pet peeve of making australia/australian archaeology related posts

Tumblr tag suggestions offering me the exact tag I want "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples". The tag I use regularly for such posts. With NONE of the capitals

Please tumblr. I just want to capitalise the identifying words out of respect for Indigenous peoples. Dont make me type it all out every time i beg you

@ GLAM professionals

Remember about 8 months ago when I made this video discussing the "Living Museum" AI app that is fraught with incorrect information and allows you to "chat" with human remains and culturally sensitive items?

Well, the creator, Jonathon Talmi, is now a speaker at the world-renowned Museum Next summit.

Gross.

I have sent an email to MuseumNext that is as follows:

Hello, 

I am emailing MuseumNext as a GLAM professional and former speaker to express my disappointment at the presence of one of your presenters, Jonathon Talmi in the 2025 Digital Summit. As you know, he is the creator of the "Living Museum" app, an AI app that scraped data from the British Museum collection search (without their knowledge or permission) and created chatbots for individual artifacts. 

Talmi has stated that the program has two functions: to create an exhibit (which it does poorly and the "exhibit" is no different than a Google search filled with incorrect and inaccruate information) and to allow the user to chat with artifacts (including contested items in the British Museums collection, culturally sensitive items, and even human remains!). I have discussed my issues with this program at length in a critical YouTube video, which you can view here.

As I stated in my response video to this project, I do believe that there is space for artificial intelligence in the GLAM sector. However, the Living Musuem is a poor example of how this can be used - it is fraught with mistakes and is an unethical nightmare of a program. 

Any GLAM professional worth their salt will condemn this, and I worry about the reputation of MuseumNext going forward if you allow this speaker at your summit. Your website boasts that: "MuseumNext has been sharing best practices and shaping how museums use digital technology for over fifteen years," but this is not best practice. Not even close. 

I am asking that you re-examine "The Living Museum" app, discuss the ethical rammifications of this program museum professional or an ethics committee, and reconsider allowing Jonathon Talmi to share this program at your summit. 

Please let me know if you have any further questions. 

Sincerely, 

Christeah

I'm so incredibly disappointed in MuseumNext for this. I had hoped to one day present with them again, but I am not sure if I want to do that anymore.

@acearchaeologist Ace i cannot let you leave this fantastic essay in the tags

like I'm sorry but I will keep posting about this until people stop being cunts and shitheads so I think we'll be here a good while. every time I talk about the colonial framing of australia and how colonialism is at work in modern day understandings of this country I only need to count to ten before every european and usamerican in sight starts spouting complete bullshit. why don't you all take a deep breath and examine why the fuck you're so wedded to the idea of australia you have in your head

The "blak and deadly" discord server is up and running!

Are you an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander on tumblr (or hell, on any other social media) and want a place just for our community to chill and talk about whatever we want without dealing with whitefella butting in? Well, if you got a Discord account, you can! The server is currently invite-only for obvious reasons, but if you DM me or send a friend request on discord (my username on there is kiunlo) I'll send you an invite! And if you wanna invite your other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander friends when you join, you should be able to create an invite link as well!
