as a patron i received the black trowel collective's annual report

they're "a collective of archaeologists committed to the active support of #archaeology students from working-class and historically looted communities who are both regularly excluded by traditional scholarship and academic programs, or who require more economic support than those resources cover"

they gave out $32,000 this year, but received requests for 5 times that!

plz boost and consider helping

a man pretending to work at the gas station approached my wife while she was pumping and tried to scam her into giving him her credit card, saying the card didn't work right and he could run it for her inside

he creeped everyone out so bad that 10yo got ready to stab him with a pen

so please!

a) watch out for scams
b) watch out for my children

For my money, the most impactful scene in The Great Gatsby is in the denouement where she says “truly, he was a great gatsby” & what’s-his-name retorts: no, Daisy, he was THE great gatsby.”

I still get chills

the pelikan twist is such a comfortable #fountainpen for writing, i wish pelikan would make a sturdier version. like a nice solid aluminum body with serviceable o-rings and a better nib would be sweet

I feel about collapsed fortifications & castles the way other people feel about baby animals.
