Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

Are you an anthropologist working in Latin American or the Caribbean? Or maybe you just want to know more about the region? Here's a starter pack of some of the members of SLACA (The Society for Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology): go.bsky.app/LGV4jHn

Oh wow, a lot of people have followed me back and may be discovering that I haven't talked a lot (*coughs* or at all) about archaeology on this page, and am mainly here to lurk, but thank you! I love to keep up with what's going on in the wider world!

Don't look at me, I'm just sitting here sobbing listening to Sun Bleached Flies by Ethel Cain thinking about my Lavellan and Solas and their good ending
I'll be fine eventually

I need to yell about my Rook- I love her- my sweet sunshine Warden (with years of semi resolved trauma and anger issues) and her shadow assassin lover (with a big soft heart for family) I JUST

I love how tied my Rook and my Inquisitor are to Elgarnan and Mythal respectively- it adds so much that Eliel (rook, who has his vallaslin) has to fight her chosen god and deal with the philosophical crisis, and Kit (inquisitor, who romanced Solas) realizing that Mythal was fallible in DAI (pt1)

Y'all I have so many feelings about Lucanis and my Rook Eliel
Also- I need someone to clip the dialogue option in their act 3 scene where Rook feels like they're still stuck in the fade- the way he comforts Rook- the way he shows he understands I'm HOWLING #veilguardspoilers #LucanisDellamorte

As much as I do enjoy putting my girl Kit in *situations* she deserves a rest, but is definitely the kind of person who doesn't think they can take sick days 🤣

Ahh the body horror of an ancient mark
#DragonAgeInquisition
#DragonAgeFanArt
Image of Inquisitor Lavellan reaching into the sky activating the mark, the process of which is destroying her arm and body. Her armor is being burned and destroyed by the magic. She is crying in determination and pain, and her nose and mouth are bleeding from the strain.

People whose judgment I trust have vouched for these #MutualAid organizations.

(As a survivor of a catastrophic tropical storm myself, I *strongly* encourage people to donate to local aid groups and NOT to the Red Cross.)
