This fills me with anxiety.

I bumped the totals station once I thought my professor was going to murder me.

Unmute !

Me roughly an hour later: -enraged at Spanish Colonialism-

Past Me: -super excited about the chosen topic for an underwater archaeology paper-

Present Me: -still into the topic but no motivation to write said paper-

Me in about ten minutes: -i never want to hear about this ship ever again-

rb this and tell me what ur accent is. this has no purpose except the fact i just realized i could have like... mutuals with cockney accents or newfoundland accents or something and thats just wild

#just a standard midland US accent #it’s not really particular to any regional area #I use words that are more common for southeastern vernacular but my accent is not southern #my dad did radio so I blame him for my lack of geographic vocal identity

So hey, I need everyone to go read this article written about the Hobby Lobby artifact theft saga, in the style of The Epic of Gilgamesh.

Hear the tale of United States of America v. Approximately Four Hundred Fifty Ancient Cuneiform Tablets and Approximately Three Thousand Ancient Clay Bullae.

This was the Hobby Lobby, the gathering place of many crafts

And briefly high-end cookwares but only briefly

Where men might come from many leagues distance and say in wonder, “This is a Hobby Lobby!”

And obtain many cubits of fabric for crafts projects ordained by Ea or by Ishtar

I’m in love with the woman who wrote this. I genuinely want to kiss her on the mouth.

SCUBA is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. What you may not know is that Tuba is also an acronym.

For Terrible Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

Today I was the first person to log into my class and we had a guest speaker. My professor introduced me and told them I was one of her best students and a very hard worker! From this professor especially that means the world!

You know what I wanna know? Why's the Muncell book have like 7 pages of blue and teal chips? Who's soil is this bright blue? I know people use it for ceramics too but this is the soil book. Why's the soil book got anything comparable to blue China?

Anyway, new archaeology ask time: what's your most used pages? It's almost always 7.5YR with the occasional 10 or 5YR for me.

Right??? I've never seen any of those soils either. Most of the soil where I'm from is 10 YR or 7 YR, although we do get some that are more pink or orange. Those two pages are always the most used.

10 YR my beloved.

My professor says he’s seen them but…….. seems suspect.

The areas I’ve worked in/that are around me are all 10R or 2.5 YR! Gotta love that red clay!

being “neatly-groomed” in an office setting: considered “professional”, supposedly inspires confidence in your work ethic and expertise

being “neatly-groomed” as a mycologist or entomologist: inappropriate and unsettling, raises serious doubts about your commitment to your field

I completely forgot I bought new mugs and they were just laying in my closet 🥺 I know they are chipped, but i love them anyway. I would like to learn how to repair them if it's possible.
