Please help me in spreading the word on this free service provided by the Alta Heritage Foundation, as they are starting to mobilize in response to the recent fires in Spokane and other parts of Washington. They are currently recruiting for local archaeologist volunteers!
Went to my local Punk Rock Flea Market in search of Jimothy! 🤘🏼
Celebrating Jimothy, the Seattle Raccoon! Come to Seattle City Hall to see the Jimothy art on display along with the proclamation for #JimothySummer 🦝
this summer's cultural cross over we've all been waiting for jimothy x bayeux
I wrote an article briefing on the proposed revisions for the National Historic Preservation Act Section 106. Please give it a read, and share with colleagues!
No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."
America didn’t just lose a World Cup match. We lost credibility. A President personally intervened with FIFA over a disciplinary decision and created the appearance that political power could influence the rules of the game. The reputational cost was far greater than the sporting cost.
I'm for the other guys. I'm always for the other guys. Go Belgium!
Also congrats to Taylor Swift and John Cena on their wedding?
Back from a weekend of writing and research. Potential fieldwork on the horizon!

Ten years ago, I was missing my art supplies at the time, and I had this crazy idea to try painting digitally. Cowboy Bebop is my favorite series of all time, and I wanted to see what Spike Spiegel would look like in my own style. So I took a screenshot and started painting over it...
We are happy to announce the official return of the ArchaeoGaming Conference hosted by the ArchaeoGaming Collective. This is a 100% virtual event that is free to attend. We are currently accepting presentation submissions until August 16. For more details: archaeogameco.weebly.com/coninfo.html
Ended Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month on a high note with a wonderful webinar by George Takei, who shared his experiences growing up in an internment camp and how he and his family faced injustice with resilience and dignity.
I spent last night at a special screening of Third Act and was lucky enough to meet director Tadashi Nakamura afterward. Was in tears. As an Asian American, it uncovered and begun to heal deep festering wounds I've carried with me my whole life. I highly recommend watching this very special film...
Found out earlier this morning that I was subscribed to Turning Point USA without my knowledge. A reminder that we all need to check our YouTube subscriptions periodically because... 🚫
My dad just asked me how to install mods on his Steam Deck so that he could play the "Pine Village Expansion" on Stardew Valley... I have no idea where he even learned about mods, I don't mess with those! Eric Barone needs release a proper update quick before I lose my mind!
This whole Artemis thing is pretty fuckin wild. Like, how do you launch a rocket, fling it around the Moon, then, bam, perfect landing in the ocean? Like, maybe these people should be running the world instead of our current crop of whackjobs.
But my absolute highlight of #NWAC2026 was getting invited to crash the Alaskans' Belzoni on the last night. No better way to end this joint conference than to meet such amazing, wonderful folks from Alaska and listen to so many cool and interesting stories about how archaeology is done up north!
Saw Project Hail Mary at the historic McMenamins Olympic Club in Centralia before heading up north to Bellingham for #NWAC2026. An incredible experience.
