Research admin. Archaeologist. Parent. Not big on following orders.

We all don’t have to be the same.
This is the day where I tell the people who pay us to do archaeological survey that it snowed 7-10 inches last weekend and no more archaeology can happen until spring. (I try to warn of this eventuality every year but they never listen.)

Like truly I do not know a better way to piss off the normies than to go after the astronaut who wrote some children’s books. (They’re pretty good, as children’s books go.)

I’m similar to Zephram Cochrane in that I’d definitely spend a long time thinking about which song to use for my rocket launch

I’m different from Zephram Cochrane in that it definitely would NOT be Steppenwolf

That it was that easy might be a recession indicator actually
Got everything I wanted for RSD Black Friday and didn’t have to wait in line outside in 15F weather to do so (and the first record store we tried was undergoing a power outage).

Sister in-law’s boyfriend is all “oh my daughter is coming for Thanksgiving” and it turns out she’s like a pretty well known local musician lol

Thanksgiving Tip: When talking to your conservative uncle, don't mention that you think the new droids will work out just fine and that you're thinking about transmitting your application to the Academy this year—before the harvest. Also don't ask if someone called Obi-Wan Kenobi knew your father.

Thought I’d spend the last hour of this incredibly slow day going through all 101 of my open projects and then I decided nope, definitely not doing that.

Looks like winter (as a weather phenomenon, not the astronomical one) starts tonight

The main difference between Star Trek and Star Wars is Star Trek was made by an incredibly shitty guy who imagined a beautiful future in which he could never have existed while Star Was was made by an autistic guy who imagined a glorious past in which everyone has autism except for the weed guy.

Return of the Jedi is my favorite and therefore I am clearly not ok and no one cares about my list.

It is so cool when I waste time ruminating about something that 1) doesn’t really affect me and 2) I have no control over.

Because “archaeology” oddly turned out to be the more marketable special interest over “Star Wars” and “knowing way too much about like 3 bands.”
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Now mind you the target audience of these toys is preschoolers, this is pretty fucking funny.

One thing about me is that I do believe art/music/etc are fundamental parts of being human and necessities, not luxuries, going all the way back to Lascaux Cave and Neanderthal flutes, and that those things probably become MORE important during times of strife, not less.

Truly feels like the pace of the whole “wheels coming off” thing is accelerating
Having one of those days where the whole entire world feels like a psy op

OH FUCK OFF
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

I have also been rendered speechless, FinTwitter.

I used to have a lot of creative outlets and I kind of sacrificed them all on the altar of Archaeology Special Interest Becomes Career but with the way… everything… is, I really need to reconnect with at least one of them.

We’re all just hairless apes and sometimes I get mad at the other apes but mostly I wish I didn’t know so much about the other apes (ironic as an anthropological archaeologist but I only want to know about the other apes on a broad population level).

Tidbit: my in-laws live next door to a 60s rock guitarist. Famous enough to have a Wikipedia page and one song you DEFINITELY know. But not so famous that he doesn’t live next door to a guy who spent his career teaching people how to use accounting software.

I appears the YouTube algorithm has placed me in a very small group interested in what can only be described as “modular synthesizer porn aficionados” and I am fine with that.

Wine thought: was listening to the Wings compilation from 2001 and honestly Wings might have been better recognized/remembered historically as a band if it wasn’t ya know, Paul McCartney’s “band that isn’t as good as the Beatles.” (Although there is a new compilation out I think?)
