and then school is done and the real world demands attention

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

So, like, how does one go about this whole grad school thing?

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

@KatherineRCook Happiest of happy days! I hope that today is full of love and light and laughter and is everything you need it to be

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

And, once again, twitter brings respite from the maelstrom of repeated memes and overabundance of educational infographics circulating on other social media right now. Thanks for the breathing room

... how about we *don't* use a global crisis to cut back and delay environmental protections and laws to protect Indigenous sovereignty? No? You can see only $$$ in the crisis and you dont want to see them fade away?

Get bent

Here it is: Canada’s largest oil and gas lobby group says the federal government should consider suspending dozens of environmental regulations, laws and policies due to the economic and public health crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/QKJv51Xmf2

This. White privilege and racism are prevalent in all aspects of life - academia and archaeology are not immune, not by a long shot. #ChallengeRacism

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

@rdwambold Nice! That makes a lot of sense.

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

Alright my super arch and heritage graveyard nerds. What is going on with this stone? 1845-1925... so why 2025?

@BCTransit maybe educate your drivers a bit? If I am complaining about an unsafe situation on your bus because AGRESSIVELY TRANSPHOBIC behaviours from other riders maybe dont call me a "lady" - I have a beard ffs and was complaining about transphobic comments. Do better.

After focusing on school for six years I am feeling woefully inadequate at this whole job hunt thing....

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

@KatherineRCook Yes to all of this! Also, I love seeing this flag design showing up more and more - TQ PoC representation matters!

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

#DisabledArchaeologists exist and are valid. Let's make space for them, k?

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

Can we take a moment to talk about #accessibility and #archaeology?

I was talking to an old teacher a couple weeks ago about the time I talked to her Anth100 class and spoke to them about how my disease diagnosis and disability changed my education path away from field work

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

She had *never* stopped to consider that disabled students might not be able to do field work. It made sense to her, she had just never considered it.

And this is just one of the many reasons why we need to talk about accessibility in archaeology beyond the museum.

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

Omg yes to all of this! There is so much potential for creativity within archaeology - let's make art

[Dr. Katherine Cook @KatherineRCook]

Yes to more creative engagement with archaeology materials! There are so many different ways to value and create value with the material past.

Museums still have a long way to come, but this sort of story gives me hope that things are changing. Happy to hear that these poles are going home to be put to rest.

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

And then there was that time it was made official. I R Anthropoligist now! Imma get a piece of paper to prove it and everything #AllAnthroAllTheTime #SoMuchHardWork

[Rae Rexatron @AmandaRexatron]

Ugh. Autocorrect, why tho!?
