Archaeologist living in the southwest. I have a passion for science communication, stone tool production, and the stories cultures have to tell about their past. Also biblical scholarship, but that's more of a hobby. Also, a disabled Army veteran.

I've been playing World of Warcraft since I was 8 (2006) years old. It was the one thing that always brought my family together. WOLTK was the first real expansion that I put my all into. Today, after over 10 years of grinding Arthas' edge lord ass into the ground, I finally got Invincible.

The SAA conference in Denver this year was double whammy of first times for me. First time attending. First time presenting in a symposium. I once again want to thank the SRPMIC-THPO for allowing Mesa Community College to conduct our field school and giving me this amazing opportunity. (See alt)

Thank you, @miniminuteman.bsky.social and @flintdibble.bsky.social, for putting together the sci-com workshop. It was incredibly helpful, and I'm very excited to get back to Arizona and start working on my first video! I can't wait to see what the others make too, the ideas shared were great!

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Five things that annoy introverts: 1. Uninvited interruptions during their alone time 2. Being pressured to socialize when they need solitude to recharge 3. Overly crowded and noisy environments 4. Constant small talk that lacks depth and authenticity 5. Being misunderstood as shy or anti-social

Every single service member and veteran, if they’re being honest, will all tell you the exact same thing: We’d be immediately burned at the stake if we treated classified intel the way Pete Hegseth has treated it.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

We are at a dangerous, dangerous moment in US history, where the President of the United States is threatening to send US citizens to be imprisoned by a foreign ally, and the foreign ally is saying it won't respect an US court orders to release people that it's holding.

The idea of school vouchers is not new — in fact, its history is deeply rooted in segregation and racism. Watch Part One of my video laying out the troubling history of vouchers — and how they echo the voucher fight happening today. #txlege (1/3)

A lot of people would rather see others harmed than be helped, but I personally wouldn’t build a political movement around it.

Humans are very weird and mostly do things because the people around them do them. This is true for me and you and everyone. Interpreting bland, default human weirdnesses as repugnant, intentional immoralities will 100% make you miserable while alienating people from your ideas.

Feels like it should’ve been a bigger deal that the Arkansas voucher application program literally asked voucher users if they wanted “a different racial mix of students” Especially since it was @SarahHuckabee that came to push @GovBillLee’s scam
