When I can’t think of anything to 3D print, I default to Pokémon.

If a black friend shares with you their reality of dealing with racism in America, the appropriate response and only response should be “I believe you.”

[Eso @coolurbanhippie]

So honored to be a part of this. ✊🏾

[Kristen N. O’Connor @kno_way]

@heritagepez I’ve been thinking the same thing (but in the US).

Also re: @archaeobeth, I think most of us in cultural heritage have known from the beginning that our work will never be particularly lucrative.

[Kristen N. O’Connor @kno_way]

@ncackerman You’re not wrong! 🤷‍♀️ 😂

[Kristen N. O’Connor @kno_way]

@ncackerman Sorry I can’t process a response, I’m still giggling at ‘yeeting a slaver into a river’.

@heritagepez I think a lot of people do assume that heritage professionals are the keepers of antiquated things, and as a whole we’ve misrepresented ourselves in the public eye for a long time. What isn’t talked about is this renegotiation of values and how important the present context is.

@archaeoborders Slave owners amassed considerable wealth during & AFTER abolition, contributing to generational wealth. This is the heart of our struggle in the US, as social systems have been in place since abolition to uphold the wealthy and degrade freed slaves. England is no different.

[Kristen N. O’Connor @kno_way]

@archaeoborders As an American who lived in Britain for 1.5 years, I do think it’s the same kind of racism - even looking past the colonial history. Britain was built on the backs of slaves, same as us. The main difference is that most plantations were in the Caribbean, not on local soil.
