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!”

The past few times I've gone to Boise, I've sampled all of them at their main location. Most recently, I've flown though, so haven't been able to bring any home. I've not seen any in the SLC liquor stores lately. I'll have to check again.

Great food and beer there (went last year). We did table S'mores with the kids. That Meriweather flavor is very good. I wish their black currant flavor was more available in eastern ID or UT. Pro tip, there is a beer store there which sold Meriweather. We got a 6er of that Bannock to bring home.

I just bought a forest green band shirt. The design wasn't my favorite, but I have so many black t shirts...

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.

Black coffee and @highonfire.bsky.social this morning reminds me of this quote: "When the nightmare is real, salvation lies in the heaviest of metal and the darkest of ink." @kellysue.bsky.social Go read FML. Great book.

I've never seen anything about it, but I remember chicken legs and apples also being food icons in video games in general. It would be fascinating to see what symbols are easy to render in development and easy to communicate meaning for food.

Yes. It's a shame as the next reconstructed Kiva one can access is in Aztec, NM. I've not worked on anything as spectacular as these sites, but many in NM and UT

www.nps.gov/meve/planyou... Unfortunately, it can not be accessed right now. An environmental impact study was completed recently to mitigate risk. Prior to closure though, it was great to visit and enter a Kiva.

Non-native Portuguese speaker, but I'd offer a slight variation on the translation- "Go fuck yourself WITH a snake...". It works no matter what though! I actually never heard this when I lived in the northeast for a couple of years, but I love it.
