🔊 Hear from our Campaigns Manager, Jenny Weber, at the site of logging destruction in Tasmania's Eastern Tiers. This area of vital #SwiftParrot habitat is where we have been protesting for the last two days. #politas#endnativeforestlogging
These irreplaceable old growth forests continue to be logged across British Columbia. Over 1,200 people have been arrested trying to keep them standing.
There is no time to waste. Protect the Irreplaceable.

Gday mate! I’m @carolinedigs, an Australian archaeologist. I’m taking over from @shipwrekmermaid to discuss working for an Indigenous organisation to protect, preserve & research their heritage. Thanks to the #Wurundjeri Elders for supporting me to tweet to y’all! #2022NAW
The Aboriginal Flag is free to use again 🖤🔥❤️✊🏾. after the Fed Gvt bought the copyright for $20.05 million in a historic deal with the flag's creator, Harold Thomas.
A massive shoutout to @clothingthegaps and the wider community for all their hard work fighting for our flag.
Imagine being one of the pricks in WW2 London that refused to turn your lights out at night, in order to stop planes bombing your house, because you didn’t want to be told what to do by the Government. #MaskUpMelbourne

White archaeologists we need to do better. Decolonisation is not a prop for us to pull out when we want brownie points. We don’t get to use marginalised communities to build our own careers then stay silent when it comes to actually fighting for them.
‘When the distance values between humans, Neas & Denisovans were calculated, they were even smaller than the values between several pairs of species which are known readily and easily to hybridise-including polar bears & brown bears, and coyotes & wolves’ https://t.co/r9mWPIzWx0
Over the next few weeks, Dr Justyna Miszkiewicz is running a free series of short human bone histology analysis workshops online. These are designed to support the development of new skills in PhD students and early career researchers in biological anthropology.
They just called me for a Nigerian COVID patient they want to extubate but weren’t sure if he didn’t understand English or was just agitated/delirious. I walked in the room and greeted him in Yoruba. He stopped fidgeting and looked at me, his eyes lit up and he started crying 😭
In case you were distracted by other things this week, such as, oh I dunno, the global pandemic, this was actually an extraordinary week for anthropology. Here's a summary with links.
