1. talking about how people will tell *non-white* Egyptian archaeologists to put shit back
2. you're assuming I'm talking about POC only when I'm not
3. insisting on ignoring context and nuance isn't going to decolonise a field, actually

It is *so* cool!

Probably not tbh. This attitude of "calling out" archaeologists, primarily those in Egypt but other non-white/non-Western countries as well, has become the standard in most online spaces. The headline can say "Egyptian team discovers X", and people will still say shit like "put it back, robbers!"

Honestly, that rhetoric ("archaeology is grave-robbing") has been gaining traction in online spaces again over the past few years and it's been doing my head in. It's performative at best and actively damaging at worst.

"Only give praise" is not what they said, you insipid banjo. If you can't properly interpret a message delivered with words, maybe you aren't the best person to have an opinion on books, which require at least a bare minimum of reading comprehension. Just saying.

It was well out of reach of the 4 y/o, but therein lay the problem: I put them all away just before she was born, and then forgot the storage spaces for roughly half of them. So every once in a while: surprise knife!

About 10% of the joy in having piercings is my younger sister's face whenever I get a new one tbh.

You are so right, actually, I can't believe I didn't clock that. I do also have a butterfly because nothing signifies the passage between states like a butterfly does. Be fearless, become soup.
