First (as far as I know?) review of our new edited volume, The Routledge Handbook of Archaeology and Plastics! 🦕🍃 So happy to see the great work of our contributors being recognised. 🙂 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

My brother can always be counted on for delivering hard-hitting miasma memes.

Due to technical difficulties with no internet service for the author, our #envhum book with John Scanlan on The Idea of Waste: On the Limits of Human Life (Reaktion Books, 2025) will be NEXT MONDAY, 27 April, at 4pm in Norway / 3pm in UK. newnatures.org/greenhouse/e...

If the past really is a foreign country I’m surprised so many right-wingers want to live there.

Anyone else coming? The TfL strike ends at midday and the talk is at 6pm, which means working from home and showing up to the reception with a fully charged social battery. Perfect arrangement if you ask me.

After #EASLCE2026, I think it’s time to update the ecocriticism and envlit list (and starter pack) 🌻 Should you be on it? Please respond to this post and I’ll add you bsky.app/profile/did:...

If anyone in the UK has an international tax accountant/firm to recommend, please let me know! Mine ghosted me after my dual income (Canada+UK) situation turned out more complicated than they anticipated. I won't make it in prison. My hair routine is too elaborate and my stomach too easily upset.

Located! A million thanks to @adambanks.bsky.social. The version I remembered was higher contrast with annotations, reshared on a website somewhere, but the original is clearly this plate from wellcomecollection.org/works/bbbne689. For the first time in weeks, I will know peace.

Does this ring a bell? 🚽 I'm desperately looking for a comic from the London sanitary reform. It shows a cross section of a house with a bad smell/gas coming from the pipes, into the house, up the stairs, and into the noses of people in bed. I misplaced the file and its absence is destroying me.

"Getting back into archaeology is like riding a bike!" Me:

Already looking forward to reading this! We need more archaeological horror. I have lots of material and a finished paper on zombies and subterranean monsters that I am not ready to delete just yet. It would be great to connect with people starting out their research in horror and archaeology.

Everything we think about nature is deeply cultural. And much of what we imagine is based on outdated, irrelevant, or out-of-place beliefs. A new book by Jane Rawson 🧪 📚💙

If this tragedy of a job search has taught me anything, it’s that my #1 soft skill is my ability to receive the most crushing rejection and, three minutes later, convince myself that my PhD was just a step towards discovering my true calling: becoming an admin assistant at this specific company.

Three more instant job rejections this week, which are even more frustrating than regular job rejections, but I did make two crop tops for the dog, so... that's something, isn't it?

Everyone please apply to my absolute dream job. The more you read about it, the better it gets.

14 years after my first McGill University acceptance letter... here we go again! A very full circle moment for me today, for better or for worse. I haven't decided yet.

Re-reposting this because it sounds like a wonderful opportunity!

First post here! It has been a while since I've done social media, but one of my priorities for 2025 is getting reacquainted with the academic world, catching up on what everyone has been up to (please tell me!), and seeing what's new in the environmental humanities/contemporary archaeology world.
