After a week of lofi study beats and careful paper construction, everything has devolved. Finals are now fueled by spice bags, coffee and K-pop. Featured is my suggestion for our class shirt #4000morewords #icandothis #graduateschool #archaeology

Writing a mock funding proposal as a final assignment for material culture. I propose a reconstruction of the Must Farm weaving hut and textiles. How do I make "because it would be cool" a 4,000 word essay? #goodReason #justGraduateStudentThings #BronzeAge #MustFarmArchaeology

4 cups of coffee, 1 cup of earl grey, a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, 1 bowl of taco soup with cheese, sour cream and chips, and a bowl of gummy candy....that's what 4k word graduate papers are made of. Now onto paper #2/3. #archaeology #academia #focusgoddamnit

Dear Spirits...give me the strength to write 3,000 words on how the #landscapearchaeology and built environments enhance and advance the power and agenda of #Clomachnoise. I can do this. #academia #archaeology

Doesn't seem to be enough coffee in the world this morning... Working on a landscape archaeology paper about natural crossroads (glacial roads and the river shannon) shaping the sacred site of #clonmachnoise. Brewing another cup #caffeibis #academia #archaeology

Material Culture final paper in progress! It is a funding proposal for new research on the Must Farm textiles, which are already excellently researched. I'm creating #ExperimentalArchaeology projects to examine the task space of Structure 1, aka the weaving hut #BronzeAge #Weaving #MustFarmTextiles

What a journey! I'm in the thick of things in Ireland now. I am writing my final papers for this semester, 2 out of 3 focus on textiles. Enjoy some of my favorite photos of Murphy and I doing stuff. #disabled #servicedog #experimentalarchaeologist #universitycollegedublin #ireland

We graduated! Murphy earned his Bark-elors in GoodBoy Economics and mine was in Anthropology. Now on to @ucdarchaeology.bsky.social and @experimentarchaeol.bsky.social in August. Ireland-here we come! #UWseattle #UniversityofWashington #Anthropology #Archaeology

I attended an incredible workshop by Njál's Saga Tapastry Project. This 91-meter-long collaborative work is raising money for a museum to house it. The project took 7 years and is modeled after the@bayeuxtapestry.bsky.social. I loved learning this handcraft skill that reaches back through the ages

I've officially finished my Junior year at #UniversityOfWashington with the help of my partners and service dog, Murphy.
I'm in awe I was admitted to one of the best schools in the country and stayed on the Dean's list. *raises coffee* Here's to some rest, then time to focus on FoxfireMassage.com

Had my 40th go around the sun. Enjoyed Friday Harbor, some incredible food, spooky forest mausoleums, and the most lovely bed and breakfast I've ever been to. Shared it all with my beautiful fiance who gifted me this very sweet drawing of us.

Still figuring out bluesky but today was a good day. The mountain was out and I got to do my first #Ashiatsu season in 5 years. This modality is the best for whole body relaxation and I feel GOOD after giving one. Pictured is my service dog, Murphy, laying under my table w/my Ashi bars above.

It's dead week (the week before finals) and I'm getting my snuggles in with my furbabies.

Come follow me here. It's more punk than meta. :P

I recently had orientation at UW. I felt like the oldest kid in the room-because I was. Campus is beautiful and huge. I'm scared and excited to be returning to school at 39 but I'm very proud of myself for being admitted to such a great University. #UniversityofWashington #medicalanthropology

new here hoping to find friends and figure this out so I can leave FB.
Interested in Seattle, Service Dogs, Emergency Medicine, Paganism, Anthropology, Dinosaurs, Golden Retrievers, general geekery, Doctor Who, Star Trek, books, and queer shit. Picture of my Murphy for attention.
