I did a lot of research into "Golden Passports" for DON'T LOOK BACK. Countries like Malta and Cyprus have made billions of euros selling EU citizenship to Russian Oligarchs. Those same oligarchs would now be able to buy US citizenship.

Loving the posts and likes on this article! I think people would get even more out of reading it. This is no basic explainer on Gamergate. I go deep into the psychology, tactics, and limits of troll tantrums as fascist movements. www.salon.com/2025/02/24/w...

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Today we took a break from packing for our move to Okinawa, to watch The Karate Kid Part II - which is set in Okinawa. We were only a few minutes into the Okinawa scenes before we realized it was filmed down the road from where we lived on Oahu. 😂

I have a heroine who works for USAID (Catalyst). A hero who works for NOAA (Cold Evidence). And a heroine who is an NPS archaeologist (Into the Storm). Maybe I should run flash sales on books featuring professionals who do important work that has been gutted? #archaeology #romancelandia

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Today's prep for my move to Okinawa is backing up book files. This spreadsheet is for tracking what is saved on the drive. Dark gray means I don't own the rights. Light gray means it's not translated yet. Peach means needs to be made/recorded. Authors, what am I forgetting? #romancelandia #booksky

the reason to systematically primary safe seat Dems in 2026 and 2028 is because they don't have the guts to do what needs to be done in 2029 even if they get the spine to do what needs to be done when under crushing pressure in 2025

For folks interested in learning more about the fascism + ancient Rome stuff, I definitely recommend starting historically (oops, banned word!) with a look at Mussolini's obsession with ancient Rome and his fascist uses of archaeological propaganda. 🏺 This article is a good little read:
