Here at Bluesky we have a few simple rules:
1. Younger layers of rock sit atop older layers.
2. Layers of sedimentary rock are originally deposited horizontally.
3. Rock layers must be older than the intrusion that disturbs them.
4. Layers of rock are continuous until disrupted

Removal of federal student loan eligibility for nursing programs is terrible and it won’t end there. It signals a clear attack on professions dominated by people the administration sees as useless.
Arts & Sciences are next.

Fun fact: archaeologists often think of time vertically, as in the past is ‘down’ and the future is ‘up’. 🤣🤣🤣
💫 Fun fact: Mandarin speakers often think of time vertically, as in the past is ‘up’ and the future is ‘down’, while English speakers think of it horizontally (the past is ‘behind’, and the future ‘ahead’).

We already see literally this *exact* same claim from adults engaged in pseudoarchaeological content - that humans could not have [done whatever they're focusing on]. I worry about how difficult education on the past will become as kids who believe this begin to take notice of adults in popular

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

Mamdani got a humanities degree.
His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.

Official anthropology ruling: you can use kinship terms in extended ways including for people who have no ties of marriage or ancestry. Real humans know this and do it. Some humans do it a lot more than others.
imagine telling on yourself that you refer to adult relatives of your parents' age as something other than "aunt" or "uncle". the expression "am I your mate?" exists for a reason
lmao

as we reach the SNAP cliff just a gentle reminder to do-gooders that the most efficient use of resources is to contribute to organizations that are already established. unless nothing exists in your area (and it likely does whether you know it) now is probably not the time to stand something up

Worth noting that the White House, the Supreme Court, the Capitol, & related grounds are all exempt from the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. So there is no formal review process for this kind of thing.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
