let me be clear that should I ever start tweeting, it will be in hopes of instigating a lifelong academic feud #AcademicTwitter

Insanely happy to see all the RLIIM team members who presented their awesome research (both RLIIM-related and not) at #ASOR2023 this year! How do I get to work with such cool people??

[Laurel Poolman @Archaeosl]

An excellent piece, also relevant to ANE stories of abandonment, collapse, empire, etc.

@Augusta_McMahon @cwjones89 @petramcreamer I think this is a very chic publicity move.

My sincerest congratulations to Jan Poolman for his prodigious publishing in microbiology that has veritably blown up my https://t.co/rPyXm7O3Wk "Is this you?" mentions.

3,000+ bones in two seasons of excavations makes for a very happy zooarchaeologist @Archaeosl #RLIIM2023

If the dumpster is ancient, does it still count as dumpster-diving...? 🤔 #RLIIM2023

Rosé pairs well with flotation, does it not @archbot44 ? #RLIIM2023

[Laurel Poolman @Archaeosl]

We may only hope that we may one day be looked at with the adoration that @Kyrakaercher offers this lamp 💔🪔#RLIIM2023

@archbot44 You’re missed here, but we collect every soil sample in your honor

Starting to tweet during a field season for internet clout?

[Laurel Poolman @Archaeosl]

@sophielizbear Someone could hand you a baby at the end?

[Laurel Poolman @Archaeosl]

But also look at this very dedicated survey team @petramcreamer from the #RLIIM project, getting caught out in a lightning storm

[Laurel Poolman @Archaeosl]

This not only betrays my dedication towards using Twitter to start academic drama, but also dedicates me to using social media that I fundamentally don’t understand

@SafetyWorkHSTM Re: incompletes, I've a student who's missed the deadline and I'm just going to reach out to academic advising to insist that they arrange for an exception of some sort 🤷🏼‍♀️ my experience is that there's more systemic flexibility than they let on.

[Laurel Poolman @Archaeosl]

@SafetyWorkHSTM I've had the same issues with at least 3 (of 13 formally enrolled) students. I've offered lots of flexibility on turning things in and gentle encouragement in emails/outreach.
