Intro thread: Long-time reader of intros, 1st-time introducer. I’m an archaeologist that specializes in the pre-colonial period of the Ohio Valley, by preference the so-called “Fort Ancient”. I don’t get to focus on that much; luckily have #ADHD & can focus on anything I have a reason to. 1/17
I've searched &searched for a functional #astrolabe. Wife found this site, w/ models from Hemisferium (hemisferium.net) that has several options for historic &modern use. I got 2, arriving TODAY. Had 2 pay extra tariff, but still cheaper than prev best price I'd found.

I did not think Esri could make #GIS slower, but my experience being forced onto ArcGIS Pro is proving me wrong. I need to commit to learning QGIS, ASAP.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

My ATALM came to an unexpected and abrupt end. While waiting for my last session to start I had a sudden intense headache that quickly escalated and combined with (I think), my first ever panic attack. 1/3

Peak parenting moment. Introduced 12yo to Abbott and Costello's who's on 1st so that they could understand how funny a joke I made was. We laughed so much, I have no idea what my joke referencing this was even about. But they'll get it next time. #winning
