It's a listening to Chess på Svenska and wishing I could get my hands on Danny Strong's new book kinda day. If I win the lottery tonight, before I pay for all of y'all's transition needs, I'm booking a flight to NYC & tickets for Chess & Godot. HAPPY FRIDAY, NERDS.

I heard they've cast ScarJo for the Tilly Norwood biopic.

tiring work 😪

Just came out of two hours of teaching early humans and primates to hear that Jane Goodall has sadly died. The legacy and impact of this human is beyond measure. She brought us closer to each other, closer to primates and face to face with our evolutionary inheritance.

me on my way to the community consultation meeting to argue that bike lanes provide safe passage for many types of micro-mobility devices and not just bicycles

Looks like I'll be reacquainting myself with the regedit.exe 🤦‍♀️

“Why are all the trans people anarchists?” Says the Marxist-Leninist after telling several trans people that their gender is a form of “bourgeois idealism” AGAIN

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an archaeologist in possession of a #Roman underfloor heating system, must be in want of a place to stand #HypocaustGate

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.

You can tell when @summonrats.bsky.social isn't well. I've been playing weird jazz for an hour and she hasn't taken the piss. Send thoughts, prayers & rat pictures.

SIDE QUEST!

Here is the gift of being a comic artist, if you’re lucky every single day you get to make something that didn’t exist before and that harms no one and adds something good to the world. Even if no one wants it.

Archaeology has to be the coolest job there is. (despite the aches & pains & rain)
