I am much more active on Instagram (same username).💙 most of my activism and photojournalism work is on there. Same with my archaeology work and museum posts.

i've spent so long staring at an orangutan skull that human skulls look alien to me now. We don't even have a saggital crest--PATHETIC !

twin cities: go outside! we can see the Aurora in the city. And we even get the purple and red too! green is my favorite but the red is nice!

I am way more active on Instagram than I am on bluesky. @Jangojips My partner and I dressed up as green people this year.

every day is Halloween when you have orange and grey cats!!

100-150k showed up and showed out in Minneapolis mn--also huge turn out in golden valley, st Louis park, and Saint Paul. NO KINGS!! But Prince is ok!

whoops, haven't posted in awhile. But I need you all to know I had a dream that the Muppets made a marvel superhero movie and Rizzo the rat got the part of Johnny Storm/the Muppet torch.

Way to show up Minnesota! at least 80,000 people at the state capitol rally! #nokings #mn50501 #minnesota50501

Sometimes, I am the only goth at a location and I can just feel the weight of the entire event sitting on my shoulders.

goths are my social barometer for everything. If a place has a lot of goths, I know it is cool. If goths are outside it means the weather is so perfect. If there are no goths at a function, then I gotta leave.

it was so nice out today, even the goths were outside enjoying the sunshine.

‘Bring me my bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire.’

Happy #FossilFriday! @jangojips.bsky.social (amazing volunteer at the Science Museum of Minnesota) posted this 3D coprolite (fossil poop) that almost certainly was made by Borealosuchus, a 15-ish foot #crocodile from #NorthDakota. See it for yourself in 3D: sketchfab.com/3d-models/preh…

protest art from the #handsoff protest at St Paul Minnesota will make it way to my website this week. digitizemsp dot com #50501mn #mn50501

huge turnout at the Minnesota State capitol for the #handsoff protest today part of the #50501mn movement.

I made it through the boarder checkpoint in Chicago. I don't know if I have to do it again in MN or not. Usually not?

I am deleting all social media off my phone and deleting all texts. i will make an official post here when I am safe on American soil and again when I am safe home. if you don't see it.... i SHOULD be home at 11pm March 24 in St Paul. if I get questioned or detained and released it could be later.

today is the big day. i travel back to Minnesota usa and hope to get safely home without being detained at the boarder. I am a legal USA citizen (naturalized) and I have all my paperwork. I am being told that ICE/immigration is seizing cell phones at international boarder crossing and going them

feels good to have these cobbles under my feet again

the gals I am hanging with in the ORD airport are making my soul happy. They refer to God as a she. They all brought their childhood stuffed animals to their vacay and they were 99% sure this maintenance guy was a mannequin and to all our surprise he was real!

A very Minnesotan scene at the MSP airport. accordian acoustic concert including Prince songs to get the crowd going. Most importantly the band has a road dog, and I got to pet him! His name is Will, and he is perfect !

got through the first leg of TSA security. my bag got flagged, but when they saw it was a duffle bag shaped like a ham they correctly realized I am not a threat

I just want to go to Europe and visit the crypts and the mummified ancient ones. I don't want to end up in a cell in El Salvador because my government is fascist.

I have always had trouble re-entering the USA. Business. Vacation. Every time. Welcome to being brown in the USA. But ICE is snatching straight up Aryan white people from Canada and Europe now. What chance do I have?

Tomorrow Is leave for a weekend in Rome. A vacation I have been planning since 2013. It's supposed to be a joyous anniversary/birthday travel, but a looming dark cloud: is ICE gonna snatch my ass when I try to go home? (I am a naturalized US citizen)

i need to clean my house for a party I am hosting, but I also have to paint a painting of a chicken. My guests will understand, right? #artistpriorities #trashcanhouse #incredibledecor

whoops I am exhausted and hit a wall. fresh protest pics will be added to the website tomorrow or early this upcoming week. ✨😴

Minnesotans showing up and showing out #50501movement for #internationalwomensday #mn50501 I took a lot of photos focusing primarily on protest art. you can visit my website to see more: www.digitizemsp.com

why are my cats fighting? they both want to make nests out of my hair. there is enough hair for both of them, but they both want the same spot and refuse to sit next to each other. yah lots of territorial fighting near my head. 🫠

everyone in my neighborhood has a husky or part husky dog and all of them are losing their minds with joy right now at the snow. This week has been such shit, but looking around and appreciating the joy of huskies in snow is how I survive this week

Currently having a blast at the Council for MN Archaeology conference. Nice to see so many familiar faces, and make new friends.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

I have contacts that are federal employees and work in DC. They told me that they need our (ppl outside of DC) help. Call your reps! US senate switchboard #:202-224-3121. message me to learn more.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Every time I get a steady job, The Republicans do shit and completely destroy my industry, the economy, infrastructure, you name it, and the rug gets pulled out from under me and it feels like--I don't just pratt fall in the mud--I get flung off the side of a mountain that's crumbling to dust.

I am not shocked the national parks service is the one holding the line. You know who works for the NPS? Anthropologists and Geologists/Paleontologists.

just dystopian things: preparing for where you will go to seek political asylum when your country is run by people who want humans who look like you exterminated. And this discussion is happening in a grocery store aisle. And you are not the only ones having this discussion.

•sarcasm on• I have no idea what this might look like. You? •sarcasm off•

Where are all my archaeologists at? #archaeology #archaeologist #zooarchaeology #paleoanth #crm #bioarch

Yesterday was a hard day and I was offline for 99% of it. I don't know if it is good or bad that my brain glitched out and put me to sleep, but when my friends checked up on me and learned I was mostly unconscious they responded with envy. ...So there's that.

yesterday was the day I just would not could not stop telling people about the missing bank robber I am trying to find, whose human remains left a paper trail in 1876.

I saw Nosferatu (2024) and it was moody, dreamy, and grotesque. This movie is gonna be my entire personality for awhile. 🦇

the lady bonding ritual of needing ibuprofen so bad you don't care where it comes from. A gal at work needed some and accepted the dusty, ziplock bag of unmarked pills from the bottom of my dig bag. I don't know how many years they've been floating around down there--possibly pre-pandemic 💀

The places (unpaid) archaeology will take you. Today I was at Northfield Historical Society because they have a mastodon tooth--of all things--in their collection that we know FOR SURE is from Minnesota. As a bonus I was in the basement holding a severed human ear from a bank robber.
