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.

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.

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.

I feel that passion for souped up cars is a passion that unites guys of all backgrounds. It’s just the type of car that differs between demographics.

I guess it’s just pure triggering the libs? He’s just a small, mean person. There’s no constituency he’s pleasing with this. I’ve met people who are into Lost Cause but I’ve never known a white conservative who was proud of their ancestors who murdered Native Americans.
