I mostly post about beautiful archaeology, digital phantasmagoria and anarchist imaginaries & realities.

Though it's quite simple, I still enjoy teaching students Twine. I had a great time making the workbook as well--I had them re-create the opening of Zork.

Zork I, Zork II and Zork III are now officially open source

Microsoft announced today that they're preserving a bit of history here - with Zork I, Zork II, and Zork III now officially and clearly open source.

(this post brought to you by trying to get back into a mode of generative anarchism, which is much better for me than the spikier (also legitimate!) anarchism that is bruce-banner-furious at All the Things All the Time)

I guess what I'm saying is that it's okay & not even really that desirable to be a perfect anarchist. You don't overcome those years of statist, capitalist bullshit easily.

Spark a little ember in your heart, be curious, and take it from there.

Being somewhat visible in this yields loads of questions and some derision and I guess that's fair. I'm generally happy to talk about it, because anarchism is one of the most complicated, hardest, best things, and not wholly commensurate with being an academic archaeologist (shocker).

I won't lie, the un-learning parts of being an anarchist are intense, and even when you get through it (never ending tbh) there is residual reflexive institutionalism that can be hard to shed. While prefiguration is very important - means leading to ends - purity is not particularly desirable.

Super cool to learn that I was huffing cinnabar while laboriously excavating paintings at Çatalhöyük. #archink “pigment” #Inktober

Hello fediverse! We are Cambridge Community Kitchen, a mutual aid project based in a squatted pub in central Cambridge, UK.

We cook around 300 hot vegan meals every Thursday and every Sunday, 52 weeks of the year, and we deliver to literally anybody who asks, for free, across the city.

Nobody owns CCK. We have no managers. Nobody has a job title, or decision making power over any part of the operation. And it Works™.

Reading the EAA meeting transcripts, still pretty stunned at a colleague quoting Goebbels. Amongst many other things.

Good times in archaeology
