I had the opportunity to express the work that I have been a part of at Grassridge rockshelter in my first language, isiXhosa.
An archaeology poster in a language that I and my people can recognize on a different level.
Great stuff!

Last night I couldn’t stop crying. I think my body is busy working through all the trauma I went through while working at my previous job. The relief I feel knowing I never have to go back is ridiculous. Please, if you are in a toxic work environment, try your best to get out.

[Ayanda @ArchAya6]

Mind you, the person they chose is very deserving... I just wish they had just head-hunted them instead of dragging me along some bogus interview. They knew who they wanted all along.

[Ayanda @ArchAya6]

I know that kind of interview very well...a certain museum did a very good job of wasting my time.

I really don't know but at one point during thesis writing I was eating cream cheese out of the tub.💀

[Dr. Tana Joseph @TanaDJoseph]

Why is cheese such a delicious depression snack/ complete meal substitute?

This might be possible for students other than postgrads as well, I'm just not sure.

[Ayanda @ArchAya6]

If you are a postgrad at UCT and are waiting on your funds to clear, please note there is a form you can fill out to get an advance on a portion of your funds. Just to hold you down till April/May, when they typically pay out.

When you’re eQonce, visit Amathole Museum. It’s a Natural History and Cultural Museum founded in 1884. The museum also houses the second largest collection of mammals in South Africa. Thanks to the dedicated staff and patrons of the Xhosa Gallery. It’s always good to be back. ❤️

Just submitted my article, “Discredited Data.“ In the article, I examine how developers discredit the data produced by racially marginalized communities and how this contributes to algorithmic discrimination.

[Ayanda @ArchAya6]

27 + 3= 30
30 + 45 = 75
Don't ask me why😭

Can’t think of a better analogy for how Global North research works.

[Ayanda @ArchAya6]

Asithandile Zozo, a Wits 1st year student in biological sciences, died in the Eastern Cape after being stabbed by a man for rejecting his sexual advances.

When will it end?
