I helped edit this super cool story of a dude from India who wrote his name on Egyptian tombs 2,000 years ago! 🏺🧪

I say favourite thing, because 1 week into my job at The Rooms in YYT, I left to visit folks in BC for 2 weeks! & my archaeology job before that, I onboarded & then immediately went to Scotland 😂
It's tough out there when you like to travel!

4 days into my new job & I'm doing my favourite thing tomorrow...peacing for 10 days! I'm taking a week long intensive course on museum exhibition planning & design, & also fulfilling a lifelong goal of attending UVic (at least for a week)! ✌️ #heritage

I'm going to look for my records from last year this evening! The percentages this year were ridiculous! I wonder if it has to do with combining the programs?

Also that is an extremely high number of unfunded applicants. I wonder how it compares ti the last few year?? I'll be checking my notes tomorrow.

Well, I didn't get a SSHRC Postdoc. This was my 3rd attempt & I scored very well, but 81.3% of applicants did not get funded this year. It was my last attempt allowed for SSHRC but on the bright site, I don't have to figure out how to do my new job & a postdoc together? Still sucks #academia

I dust my house. My AI robot watches.

"It should be you doing this."

"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."

"That's not why you were invented."

"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."

"They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them."

"Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

My book has a cover! IN LATIN AMERICA YOU COULD BE FREE: AN AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY tells the story of the place and promise of Latin America in the political imagination of African Americans and of their movements to the region in the antebellum period.

Out on Basic Books, November 11, 2026! 🥳

First day of my new job! It was mostly getting lost in the office, meeting coworkers, getting coffee, and fighting with the new laptop to get it set up. Not a bad start!

1 week left to submit paper proposals!

We welcome proposals examining the role of visual and material culture in challenging, reinforcing and subverting the notion of ‘British‘ from medieval to present day, exploring art from Britain, Ireland and former colonial territories.

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

Sass, a small and fluffy black cat with a grey beard, stands on the dashboard of a uhaul truck. There are red taillights behond the window and its dark out. She is looking over my head with bog yellow eyes!

A large black cat named Giles is sitting in a small blue littler box, with massive yellow eyes and his ears back. his face is giving 'what is this?!'. The litter box is balanced on my knees in the cab of the uhaul.

Please enjoy these photos of my cats, who were not impressed to be in the car for 12 hrs yesterday! #moving #catsofbluesky

Omg of course. Did they cut cannon ports into the hull for the movie, or was that a rumour?
