Actually, I’m not really a fan of interviews at all, unless the point is to show that you actually understand the things you’re claiming to understand on your CV/resume, which is rarely the point.

*walks into job site* “Hi, I’m the archaeologist.” “Yeah we can tell.” (I mean surely I might also be mistaken for an environmental engineer or the wetlands person)

Iced coffee interview discourse is fascinating. Because what is a job interview for? Probably depends on employer/industry. Are they checking to see if you’re a good fit with the workplace culture, or are they checking to see if you know when to be your most polished, conservative self.

This gatekeeping question is inevitable: "Does the project involve any work that could be interpreted as scientific research?"

This is part of the point, I think. This, Project 2025, Epstein, whatever. There’s actual tinfoil hat shit happening, so they invented stupid tinfoil hat conspiracies as cover, so you can’t talk about any of it without sounding crazy.

The dumbest thing about the whole Ed Sheeran thing is he identifies as a "culturally Irish" musician, and is seemingly touring with half of Ireland, and yet somehow had no clue that Irish musicians have been the single longest and loudest chorus of voices in Europe about what is happening.

Oof there’s an Instagram archaeology influencer who’s selling “coaching calls” for people who “want to become an archaeologist who travels.” Well, I’ll tell you for free. Major in anthropology. Take a field school. Be willing to take whatever technician job you can get after you graduate.

I’ve had a lot of dreams lately that I’m going to jail and/or prison for a silly reason (like that episode of Star Trek where you get put to death for stepping off the grass). Make of that… what you will.

If you have spent most of your life in a liberal enclave this is hard to understand. There are many places in this country where setting out one of those “in this house we don’t hate people” signs is a VERY BRAVE thing to do. And in those places “liberal” and “leftist” are not differentiated

Look I’m old enough to clearly remember the “shared sense of unity” post 9/11 and even at the tender age of 17 I could tell that energy was going to be harnessed for nefarious purposes. I smelled the hatred and war brewing in the air. Our response to that event led us to where we are now.

Look growing up in Texas sucked ass, I’m allowed to say “y’all.” I don’t love it but it’s a plural noun that isn’t gender specific. Yes, I know “you” is also plural but it’s also not always read that way

My mom is pretty judgmental and growing up she called a lot of people “trashy” (makeup, tattoos, clothes, etc) and as a kid I saw: they seem to be happy and living their lives and you’re miserable and sitting here judging them. Now I don’t actually think “trashy” is a real thing but if it is 1/2

This is one of those things that is genuinely hard to overstate: rural life in America is, in many ways, as globalized and homogenized as urban life, if not considerably more so. And that's largely down to the construction of a pan-"rural" identity dominated by a basically suburban group
