Sometimes being an anthropologists is weird. Also, Sometimes being an anthropologists is weird. Also, I’m pretty sure no one has any idea what my day to day involves 😂 Like today, for my human evolution class, I invited those who were comfortable attending in person to join me on campus for a flintknapping and atlatl throwing event I throw every year. I have met only a couple of these students in person this year, mostly due to happenstance, and it was odd to be in the same physical space when mainly I’ve been teaching to their names in little boxes on zoom. It was fun though, and a good way to enter the last week of the semester! I can’t wait to be back in a regular classroom in the fall. And if anyone cares to know, I utterly suck at the atlatl 🤪

Pardon all the book posts, but I’ll admit I’m Pardon all the book posts, but I’ll admit I’m excited for this book to make it out into the world. Especially because Luke finally manages to have his voice heard and we learn a whole lot more about his perspective on things. But my favorite Luke moments will always be the ones where he is talking about Ami 🥰

(Also, I wasn’t in the mood for the black diamond run everyone else was going to do because I needed to pee and eat before dealing with that sort of thing!) it’s hard to beat spring skiing in #montana.

Real talk: yesterday I entirely broke down. It was Real talk: yesterday I entirely broke down. It was one of those days where I just could not get my shit together. I cried way too much. I was exhausted—mentally and physically—and there was the unrelenting pressure to just keep going. I had grants to review, a few hundred scholarship applications to sort through, my never-ending email, meetings, a stupid promo thing in the evening for incoming freshmen, lab work, my grad students needing things, stuff to order, and and and... it was a never ending list, just like always, and I wanted nothing more than to walk away. Don’t get me wrong: I’m happy to be employed, but I’ve been working my ass off with the threat of losing my job due to budget constraints for a year and it’s killing my soul. I do so much for others and get nothing back. My employer takes and takes and takes. It’s endless. It’s awful. There is not recognition or help. And no end in sight. So, yesterday, I cried. I put on my mask and told students “oh what a lovely place this is to study!” And I did all the things. Today, I am better, but between the pandemic and co-chairing my department, and worrying about the impending loss of my job, there are days when it all just fucking sucks. Oh, and I have been terrible about promo for my upcoming novel release 😬 Shit. I will get to that. After I revise the video for my departments outreach video and post to their social media accounts because no one helps there. So, just know, your faculty are suffering. All the support goes to the students and that’s cool, except the rest of the faculty and staff are losing their minds and wills and maybe that’s what the university wants? That we will all quit and just leave to save the bottom line and the upper admin’s six-figure salaries.

IN DEFIANCE OF FATE is almost out and I’ve been IN DEFIANCE OF FATE is almost out and I’ve been reflecting on Ami and her struggles. There are a lot of themes surrounding choice, or the lack thereof, throughout the story, as Ami & Luke must decide their role in the choices they are forced to make for others as Coincidence Makers. Just a random snippet here of Ami having a little rant 😄
