Antisocial anthropologist, bad Heathen, and hook rat. Retired mastermind of Tastes of Tamriel. Reach heaven by violence.
I know that this is a joke, but as someone who has a Master's degree and went on to do a PhD, I can promise that you will only graduate feeling even more frustrated, confused, and lost. Well, at least if you're an anthropologist.

Medical and religious anthropologists judging the shit out of me for the unholy abomination I'm currently writing

I love being a researcher and writer but this keeps happening and it just might kill me one day

This was taken from Instagram, and hasn't gotten much recognition outside of the body modification community, but Jessica Brosche, a German tourist with a valid ESTA (holiday visa permit) has been in detention by ICE for almost a month now. This is absolutely abhorrent.

Today's reading. This is the first time I'm reading an entire academic monograph in another language, and it's super interesting. I've read papers in Norwegian and Swedish in the past, but never a whole book! Fun challenge.

The death of intellectual and academic freedom is the death of democracy.

Some may call this academic elitism. Me, I call it research funding opportunities.

I've set up a page for my rune readings on Instagram for those of you interested. Please spread the word, as I'm trying to save up for my research trip next summer!

Shocked. Wowed. Surprised. (I'm really not)

The academic imposter syndrome is so strong today I've probably cried enough to fill a bucket (my shirt is soaked)

Your friendly local cyborg is here to remind you that I wrote a fun and slightly unhinged chapter on transhuman ideology and Heathenry, which is coming out this month. Can't afford it? Ask your local library or academic institution to order it in!
