You know I can’t resist a crafting joke on a summer Sunday afternoon.
White man Christopher Lee as Lord Summersisle casting his arms to the skies in front a giant wooden wicker man. The added caption: “look what I made out of old pallets!”

Before I left academia, I remember one student in Anth 101 would bring her Bible with her and place it on her desk next to her laptop. The lesbian editor of the school newspaper was also in my class. When we got to the until on sexuality and culture, there were MANY heated debates.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

🏺🦣🧪 A cool skull but I'm going to add nuance. Toothlessness alone doesn't imply food provision. 100% gummy bonobos, our closest primate relations, cope OK. But in hominins, esp. from 500 ka, systematic butchery & transport of prey points to group food sharing, making such care more likely.

The biggest edit I've made is replacing the whole, dried chiles with 4 tbsps of ground red chile. It's not perfect, but a hell of a lot easier.

Usually, I'm team green chile, but this chile colorado I've been working on turned out really nice. We also did carne asada with green chile. True New Mexican "Christmas Style". This is the base recipe, but I made modifications over past batches tastesbetterfromscratch.com/chile-colora...
