Giving a lecture on settlement archaeology this week so you KNOW I had to include my favorite archaeological book cover of all time 😂🏺
The original cover art for Lewis Binford's book "In Pursuit of the Past: Decoding the Archaeological Record" which features a scene of 4 people outside, 2 in traditional Inuit clothing. In the foreground is a photo of the author, a white man in his 60s with white hair and a beard wearing a sweater vest and big 1980s-era glasses who is gesturing like he is mid-lecture. (He looks like a dweeb)

Heads up for parents in the Eugene area! There will be a letter-writing event for kids to write letters/draw pictures to send to children in the occupied West Bank on October 4th at the public library!
A brightly colored event flyer. The background is red with watermelon seeds and there is a band of green on the bottom third of the image. The main text reads "Penpals for Palestine. Children's Letter Writing. Eugene Public Library. Bascom/Tykeson Room." There are green bubbles in the top corner of the flyer with the date (October 4th 2025) and time (1-4pm) of the event. The text on the green band at the bottom of the image reads "The children living in the West Bank need some light and compassion. Let's let them know they have friends in Eugene who are thinking of them!" with larger text below that reads "Building bridges from our families to theirs."

You know, I really preferred it when the examples I had for the continued existence of settler colonialism were more subtle and required digging into policy and structure...now we have handy visual aids straight from the US government 🤮😵‍💫

There's a heat wave going on, which of course means my dog won't stop demanding to be let outside so he can bake himself in the sun like a potato

I was dreading 4 hours straight of organizing meetings this afternoon so my dog very helpfully required a trip to the emergency vet last night and full-time home monitoring today so I'd have an excuse not to go to my meetings 😅🫠

Gorgeous sunrise at the Nil-les'tun Marsh Unit in Bandon. The marsh takes its name from a Nasomah Ko-Kwel village and means "small fish dam in the river place"

At long last! I have obtained an Exploding Whale baseball hat, the local minor league baseball team's tribute to the most important event in Oregon state history, the time the highway department blew up a beached whale with dynamite 🧨🐳

This is a great collection of interviews on nonhierarchical/decentralized Indigenous politics. Also available online, but check out the cover art for the physical book version 😍

You know I had to get some Batsquatch IPA to honor of the 45-year anniversary of the Lawetlat'la eruption
A photo of a hand holding a beer can up to the camera. The can has a landscape scene of snowy mountains with a pink sky and a bat-like creature in the foreground. The can is labeled "Rogue, Batsquatch, Hazy IPA" Photo of the back of the same can. The description on the back of the can that reads "Batsquatch: Rumor has it that Batsquatch lives deep within the woods of Mount St. Helens. This tale's details are hazy making the truth such a juicy mystery"
