Remember how Star Trek's Captain Jean-Luc Piccard is an archaeologist? He followed in Trowelblazing footsteps, Jaquetta Hawkes, who scripted this distopian "what if" for the BBC in 1962.
Watching this it's important to remember Monitor was the BBC's leading, prime time, arts and culture programme.

And today I learned that in 1962 the BBC let Jaquetta Hawkes imagine the archaeology of apocalyptic Britain. As a short film 👀10/10 Will weird your day youtu.be/c8yEIe69M4k?...

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct."
Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

Heritage friends, this is a good time to consider whether your content is actually 'inspiring' or a 'timeline cleanse' just because it's old.
Heritage is not anodyne, feel good stuff.

Cultural heritage is on the list 🏺
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Should these pages come back, pay careful attention to the changes that have been made & how they are being used to construct a fantasized, national identity. Heritage, incl. history, are powerful parts of identity, & they are going to be rewritten into fantasized, & likely nativist, narratives.
Every archaeologist in the US needs to be proactively organizing against the erasure of cultural heritage 🏺
While I can't confirm anything at this point, it looks like the National Park Service has taken down web pages for:
National Japanese American Memorial
Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial
Stonewall National Monument
