A state that ranks 42nd in maternal mortality, 30th in infant mortality, and 37th in child mortality ends abortion rights because it cares about protecting life.

Some great cave art research coming out of our department:

[🅰ntiquity Journal @AntiquityJ]

🆕: Archaeologists have discovered the largest known Native American cave art images. The massive artwork, found in Alabama, is over 1,000-years-old and may represent spirits of the underworld.

@kmobriant I'm actually playing around with their model for a side project. It's crazy what you can see in it.

Katherine's work on moonshine activity in Francis Marion National Forest has been featured in South Carolina's Post and Courier. It's great stuff and you can read more about it here:

Archaeologists believe they’ve found the remnants of illegal liquor stills in the Francis Marion National Forest from the mid-1920s that belonged to a man who worked with famous gangster Al Capone to run moonshine out of South Carolina. https://t.co/9z3EY1MQZH

@killcottonkings Go ahead and send me a DM. I'm happy to answer any questions as best as I can.

I made a blog post for Tennessee Archaeology Awareness Month that gives a brief overview of my dissertation research. Check it out if you want to see the results of me watching a loading bar in Agisoft for 8 hours!

Confederate monuments are participation trophies - change my mind

Katherine and I did the #bikehuntnorth in Knoxville for @ibikeknx and @knoxsmarttrips

Happy bike month y'all!

@this_is_emma @IGN My desk at UT is way less cool than this gem

COVID19 when it sees protestors breaking safety protocols and holding up signs that say "give me liberty or give me death":

In less depressing news, my first external grant proposal was accepted: $2,500 to purchase dissertation equipment.

@this_is_emma I actually show clips of this show to my students so they can see experimental arc done poorly

@BaileyMarcello @Flamtart Polio vaccine was released in 1952.
Measles vaccine was released in 1963.
Whooping cough vaccine was developed in the mid 1930s and saw widespread use by the mid 1940s.

Either bacteria and viruses are terrified of needles, or vaccines actually work.

My attempt to write a lesson plan about human evolution descended into a prehistoric meme gathering session.

@cxcope Cormac McCarthy's novels are boring, and if you express this opinion, many of his readers will say you're too dumb to appreciate them.

@this_is_emma I actually didn't mind what they did to Bran. But as with almost everything this season, there wasn't enough plot development to make it seem justifiable.

[Jordan Schaefer @JordanLSchaefer]

Tyrion: "No one has a better story than Bran."

Sansa (escaped abusive situations and out-manipulated enemies),
Arya (became a faceless assassin and saved Westeros),
and Brienne (achieved knighthood despite sexist gender norms and completed hopeless quests): "Huh?"
