Now that the ArchaeoGaming Conference (the last of many events and volunteer efforts I organized for this month) is over, I am finally done! So many messages went unanswered leading up to this. I'll be catching up soon, but will need a week off to recover first. Thanks y'all!

There is no McTry. There is only:

This game has me in such a chokehold. It's all I can think about. 🥀 #BloodOfTheDawnwalker

My weekend plans... May they come to fruition! #BloodOfTheDawnwalker

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 🦝

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!

A little debby for work...

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."

Also congrats to Taylor Swift and John Cena on their wedding?

Back from a weekend of writing and research. Potential fieldwork on the horizon!

"Archaeogaming as Scholarly Play: The Intersection of Archaeology and Gaming," edited by the fabulous Megan Rhodes Victor, is officially out and available for purchase! www.berghahnbooks.com/title/Rhodes...

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... 🚫

We're all gonna miss Stephen Colbert. 😔

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 is exactly why I hate missing sessions in D&D.

And may the forth be with you. 🖖🏼

Aw drat.

HEY LADY! YOU CALL HIM DR JESUS!

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.

Some swag on this most auspicious eve of NWAC. #NWAC2026

And that's a wrap. Watch the epic finale and conclusion to our several year long playthrough of the Chariot of the Gods. Find out who made it off the doomed USCSS Cronus, and who didn't... Kudos to @archaeodrz.bsky.social for all the trauma over the years! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBu_...
