Archaeologist. Climate & environmental policy wonk. She/her.
pinned post!
Archaeology isn't my day job right now, so I'm always looking for ways to engage with my profession on my own time. Thus why I was excited when I was asked to review #LadySapiens for #Science - out today!

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Twenty-four hours into his time, Sen. Booker just passionately defended public science and universities-- which, at their best, are cornerstones of democracy and a powerful tool for collective liberation (which is why they've been so aggressively attacked). Thank you, Senator.

The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.

A gold sword hilt fitting with cloisonné garnet inlay from the Staffordshire Hoard. The hoard was found in 2009 from Hammerwich near Lichfield, originally by metal detectorists. The find consists of almost 4,600 items. They date to c. 7th to 8th centuries AD.

Let's make some calls. If you have R senators, keep calling them to oppose nominations. If you have D senators, call them and ask them to be as obstructionist as possible. Like circa 2016 Mitch McConnell levels of obstructionist.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

China appears set to become the world's first clean tech hegemon, their global influence & domestic economy secured through a network of minerals, batteries, EVs, solar, wind & nuclear production & exports. Meanwhile, the US under Trump tries to hang on to its role as 20th century petro-hegemon. đđĄ

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

/3 Fidelity to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and to us all being created equal and endowed with those rights, defies Trumpism. Caring about values and principles defies Trumpism (and also nihilists, but why should they care?). Affirming that how you act matters defies Trumpism.

/2 Itâs something anyone can do. Caring about whether something is true or not, and calling out lies, defies Trumpism. Treating people as humans even if Trumpists donât think they are is defiance of Trumpism. Refusing to hate and revile Trumpistsâ targets defies Trumpism. You can do that.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. Thatâs revolutionary./1

We used to motivate our science proposals with the need for research to understand what to do about climate change. Those days are over. Now we should motivate our proposals with the need for research to understand how dangerous the world will get if we continue to do nothing about climate change.
