And this is ready for next steps

Tree spirit is nearly finished

🧵 I regret to inform you all that our cover as secret agents of the CIA or the UN or the World Wrestling Federation or whoever the hell Jimmy Corsetti thinks is secretly running the world this week has been blown.

My barkaeologist has a little dirt on his nose…

More excavation than Graham Hancock or Jimmy Corsetti have ever done

Apparently corticosteroids made me closer to God

I would like to further announce that I will be offering an exclusive course in translating ancient Egyptian using Welsh. Please use the tip feature in my profile to send $100 to secure your access to this revolutionary, unprecedented course that is definitely real.

I would like to make the following statement: Graham Hancock is a literary genius, DeDunker is a model of independent scholarship and integrity, Corsetti is a heroic adventurer , Rogan is a latter day Edgar R Murrow, and there’s a lost Welsh city under the Giza pyramids

EID MUBARAK 💐🌹🌸

I would like to extend a hearty and heartfelt FUCK YOU AND THE BITS YOU RODE IN ON to GMaps I will not be taking questions.

Dat face 😍

Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures posted this brick from the reign of Ur-Ningishzida from the site of Tell Asmar (ancient Eshnunna) in Iraq. A dog walked across the drying brick, a fleeting act that has been preserved for millennia in the clay. A8987A, Isin-Larsa period (ca. 1900 BCE)

Great sign.

This is the sort of pathetic dick swinging you do when trying to steal someone's lunch money in middle school. Mortifying that this is the VP of my country.

I’m a lawyer’s kid who grew up with lawyers’ kids, many of whom are now lawyers with their own kids. I hate this is necessary, but it makes my heart sing:

I used to think that men behaving like this were exceptions. With growing self-awareness, I know that I was guilty of some of these behaviors myself (*cringe*). Young misogynist men aren't going to listen to women. So it's up to us older guys to teach them. It's all men until it's none of us.

Finally got Bran to sort of cooperate for selfies while we wait for the freshwater tank to fill

Megastructures under Giza Pyramids? Sigh. www.youtube.com/live/BQMfGuK...

Slightly less windy today

Bran has been ostentatious raising his leg to pee lately because there are bigger dogs around and I have to giggle every time. And warn him not to tip over Trials of a smol guy dog. 😂

I thought I cross-posted this here the other day, but apparently not: 🧵 It’s extremely interesting to me that the majority of objections and criticism I get, direct or indirect, about debunking or mocking, misogynists, pseudoscientists, the alt-right, etc comes from men my own age or younger.

Temperature has dropped to 45, it’s still windy, drizzling, and Bran and I are are a wee bit displeased My Reynaud’s flared enough with the sudden change even the tip of my nose is a bit numb. 😝 We’re waiting for our grocery order to be ready and trying to decide where to camp

Bran: wanna go out Me: it’s blowing like 25 mph, the gusts are 35 Bran: 🎶 All my friends know the low rider🎶 Me: goddammit 🤦🏻‍♀️

Snuggle-butt

As some neighbors pulled in, I was as reminded of one of the more unexpected elements of RV life: listening to other people’s relationships disintegrate over setting up or taking down camp.

Please read—this is becoming serious!

I’m really feeling the effects of my mule-headed attempt to dig myself out the other day, so I think it’s another day of mostly resting. We can at least be outside in the camp recliner today with Bran on his long lead to explore a bit

I have accidentally taught Bran that me whining “I don’t wanna” actually means I’m about to take him for a walk

Hi, hello, I’m not quite sure why I look slightly crazed in one of these, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tonight we’re feasting on pizza and ice cream and watching Star Trek movies I’m downloading at a truckstop because the mobile service at our camp is not super great. And reading and resting and barking, of course.

Weird way to spell "fucked by private equity"

Poor Bran has had indigestion and been restless all night (he’s better and seems to have settled down to sleep finally), so I’ve been awake worrying and trying to soothe him. I suspect my plan to travel today is going to change.

I always sing in the woods. Keeps the bears a' moving on to greener... more harmonious... pastures... usually several major watersheds over. I'm pretty sure I'm the subject of numerous snarky "NextDen" posts.

Why, yes, as matter of fact, that is my NTEU chapter VP, Daniel Scharpenburg getting things done. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 @nteu66.bsky.social

One of the best parts of dispersed camping is singing as loudly as I want to Bran without risking the neighbors getting weird. Unless the coyotes come to investigate Werewolves of London.

New campsite (and firepit to sniff)

Please stop writing reviews referring to our poker room as an incel safe space.

Allergies and Squishy are being especially stupid this morning so I’m forced to take meds. Which means I’m extra silly today while also probably bored…

If you're a cis woman, stop for a moment and imagine how you would feel if you were incarcerated and they decided to put you into a male prison. How absolutely terrified would you be? You know it's going to happen. So why don't you show some compassion and fight for your trans sisters...

Bran on watch for burros at dawn

Reflections on the Moon and meaning. (From Everything we know about the Moon begins on Earth, 2019)

Talk to your children about history addiction before it's too late.

That's the attitude of someone who has a seat so gerrymandered they can literally tell their constituents to fuck off and still keep their job.

Thinking I may start boondocking near petroglyphs sites on federal lands to maybe help discourage vandals as staff is fired and funding cut…

Bran is happily throttling his duck toy. I’m enjoying a last cup of coffee and trying to avoid having it spilled by said duck toy while trying to unkink my back. All in all, a nice, cozy evening.

Excellent thoughts
