I’m an Egyptologist and digital humanist. I obtained my PhD from UC Berkeley in 2022.
I’m now a postdoctoral scholar working at the Field Museum and the ISAC Museum at the University of Chicago.
Also Arthur Dimmsdale is a timeless American archetype. Modern versions of him are everywhere.

This hurts trans women for obvious reasons, but it also underscores how little of a shit anyone gives for the problems of cis women—these swimmers get raped by their coach, people snooze. Transwoman shares a locker room with cis women though, and here come the knights in shining armor.

Oh damn. This is a thing, a real art with meaning not just something delightful, and I have insulted it with my paint nonsense. I will crawl back in my hole.

OMG TENTACLE POT! I have some banging metallic color shifting paint that would be perfect!

Is that “creative writer”? I miss that program. It made decorative borders so easy.

Imma just point out that as far as politicization goes, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh aren’t women. Nor is Mike Johnson. I think these people would object to being called “feminized.”

Egyptology and Archaeology in general have a long way to go in that respect.

This reminds me of my “in a world where there’s a god of tyranny, murder, necromancy and death, what’s so bad about eating brains to survive?” on why it’s morally ok to live as a free mindflayer in BG3.

Yeah I’ve noticed that misogyny is ok on the right and low-key ok with some on the left (among other things because it always gets dropped in the list ‘more serious’ isms when describing trump). We know mike hates women who aren’t his mom and who are doing something other than making him a sammitch

Watching the schools crawl to Trump for science dollars really undermines the values they profess. It’s not particularly surprising. Berkeley still has the loyalty pledge. At least before COVID, you still had to swear your loyalty to the US in person each semester to teach.

He’s a fake-ass Christian, too. There, I said it. Most atheists I know follow take the teachings of Jesus more seriously than he does.

Think the kid sitting next to me in German class in 6th grade drew one of these in his notebook.
