WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

My husband's family had their belongings and heirlooms stolen from their home since they had to rent it out while they were imprisoned. We found this out through a National Register nomination form. #historicpreservation

I highly recommend following @saikatc.bsky.social

Worth looking at this visualization of data. It's important to note that regulation isn't an impediment to business. It IS business.

I know that American society is in upheaval, but the Georgia General Assembly has introduced a bill I think we can all rally behind. HB233, introduced on 2/4, seeks to designate Brunswick Stew as the official state stew of #Georgia. May the 'Ayes' have it 🙏

It's one hell of a time to have taken a really incredible class on externalities and the unaccounted for costs of policies 🥲

In the past, some people made me feel like optimism was a weakness. I understand now how optimism can feel alienating - like people don't understand the gravity of reality. We can be wise and cautiously optimistic at the same time.

I love Georgia history! #georgia #history

#Georgia - we have to make sure this follows GEPA or any relevant laws. Just be mindful of when and how public feedback and communication happens. The Georgia coast is special and treasured by everyone.

It acutely hit me that people who idealize the America of the past consistently overlook the reality that it was a time of *substantially* less income inequality, yet always vote against that.

Highly recommend Join or Die on Netflix. Incredible documentary not only showcasing the value of social science, but presenting significant evidence that building community and social networks are our path to resiliency #anthropology #socialscience

Community infrastructure is our way through.

The source paper is linked here and was published in December. Looks at vulnerability of terrestrial natural #WorldHeritage sites and biodiversity to extreme weather. #climateheritage. 🧪🌎

Now that I can breathe a little, I want to celebrate the fact that I passed my written comps! Given the uncertainty of everything, it doesn't feel quite real, but I'll celebrate regardless #anthropology #archaeology #preservation #criticalheritagestudies #academia

Georgia: HB 300 has been introduced. This will require Title Pawns to be regulated like lenders - placing a cap on the interest that can be applied to people who are in the most desperate financial situations. It will take 5 minutes to call your state rep. Protect people. #georgia #atlanta

I needed that laugh

The type of leaders to look to right now.

To rally for regulations or to reform or "rollback" requires understanding them first.
