Closing remarks of this thread are on point.

[Teresa Kubacka @paniterka_ch]

Today I asked ChatGPT about the topic I wrote my PhD about. It produced reasonably sounding explanations and reasonably looking citations. So far so good – until I fact-checked the citations. And things got spooky when I asked about a physical phenomenon that doesn’t exist.

Baby boomers did a pretty good job teaching their millennial daughters that they could be anything they wanted to be and a pretty terrible job of preparing their sons for what that would mean for them as husbands and fathers

@dadadocot In your research for a new clinician, try reaching out to international student support groups on campus and foreigner support groups on social media. I work out of Hokkaido, but I can ask my colleagues if they know any peeps around Todai who can give me references, if u want?

Correction: it is a Haniwa not a dogu

This quarter I’m teaching ceramic analysis, and today we worked with clay and tried various forming techniques and used different types and mixes of clay. The products are drying in the teaching lab. One of my students recreated a caricature dogu from Japan!!

Research trip to Japan with the kiddos! My oldest living his best life at Anamori Inari Shrine in Haneda. He enjoyed the Torii gates.

[Erin Gamble @archymama]

Students created tile mosaics, Basketry, story maps of the Slave Wreck Project. Essays covered phenomenal topics like the effect of pop cultural representations on perceptions of Mayan culture and how archaeology can contribute to more accurate narratives. Wow!! 2/2

My summer ARCHY 205: Principals of Archaeology ended this week. I took a page from my faculty mentors and ditched exams. Instead, students picked an essay or a creative project for their final. I was floored by the level of engagement and energy 1/2

Academic twitter:I need help finding English sources for a colleague. They want to discuss the influence of Chinese script on historical traditions in Japan. More specifically, they'd like to focus on how text is given greater legitimacy than other records of the past. Thank you!

Faculty are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD.

I just remembered that when I was a kid, our window AC unit leaked onto our carpet and a giant mushroom appeared overnight.

If you're 1st gen and you also had a mushroom in your living room I see you.

Archaeology culture in the US can often be ‘macho’ — a lot of proving how tough we are. It leads to big tragedies like this, and smaller tragedies of excluding a lot of smart, caring folks from the field. We’d be a better discipline if we left that ‘cowboy’ attitude behind.

[Erin Gamble @archymama]

Visas are in hand! The kids and I are Japan bound on the 26th!

[Erin Gamble @archymama]

@potatokitty I saw the massive dried block they were working through yesterday! So amazing all the stories that soil is sharing!!

[Erin Gamble @archymama]

@amasugiru Yes! It’s so condescending and unnecessary.

[Erin Gamble @archymama]

Support your friends, family, and colleagues who are not white women (including those with uteruses who don’t ID as women) in earnest. They, yet again, will shoulder the brunt of this crisis. Hear them. Help them. Harbor them.

[Erin Gamble @archymama]

Overturning Roe V. Wade is NOT about religion. It's about controlling women. This is about white men being afraid of loosing their positions of power, of being accountable for their actions, of loosing control. Women WILL suffer and die because of this, but we will NOT fall.
