@AllisonRFloyd Our lab mix came from a long (non-purebred) line of science-themed labs. Naming him Darwin was a mistake. He was a very good, very sweet, and very (medically) expensive boy.

So how does this thing work now? What are we calling tweets now? I heard a suggestion for Xcrements that seems appropriate?

[Stacy Drake (she/her) @ArchyNerd]

Theoretically, if @SUEtheTrex were to have their Night at the Museum moment, would it be better (for me) to a) run; b) stand still and pretend their vision IS based on movement; or c) carry a ham on me at all times to toss to SUE at the right moment?

@roaminghawkeye Do I have a story for you about the PP article (and how certain folks spoke with them directly to raise concerns BEFORE the article was published and pretty much got nowhere)😒 We share the end goal, but they can’t seem to understand that they are not helping the actual cause.

[Stacy Drake (she/her) @ArchyNerd]

@roaminghawkeye My experience is that somehow folks believe that more $$ at upper levels = everyone is happy and supported? 🙄

@academic_exit @DrKillgrove Museum anthropologist here. I definitely DO NOT make as much as I could in a traditional (tenure-track) academic position.

I’m gonna be just as good on Mastodon as I am on Twitter. Follow me for infrequent and nonsensical postings there?

Pretty cool that Lizzo managed to play a musical note high enough to shatter white male fragility

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

@AnnaGoldfield @DrKillgrove Kids have more bones in their body than adults do!

@mootspoints Um, do you accept virtual auditors? Asking for a friend… 😁

@SUEtheTrex By these rules, @tdrakechicago you shall now be called Civic.

@roaminghawkeye GBF for short?

[Stacy Drake (she/her) @ArchyNerd]

Just passed a small herd of Doodles on my walk to work. Sourcing ideas for what to call such a group…

#bioanth folks, where do you get boxes for storing crania? I need a new supplier…

@ancientchildren Maybe they are just trying to spread awareness of lumbar sacralization?
I’m almost more concerned about the perfect rows of only 7 carpals in the hands in the background!

Given that so much of my job revolves around collections from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, Boas takes up A LOT of my mental space…

[The Anthropology Department @anthropologydp]

From now on, try to schedule your month with these:

1 lunch where you and a friend sit in silence and think about Franz Boas

24 hours without fretting over the fact that political science is just watered down anthropology

1 Sunday where everything you eat and drink is yams
