Anything it gets it warm brings it right back. Luckily mine isn't that bad. But I didn't have it until I transition. It was sitting in my DNA not triggering until estrogen epigenetically flipped stuff on and off lol

Well I might think about it sometime. I like I've said before, I haven't gotten my graduate degree in that topic yet so I don't know if that counts.

That could be fun. I do a lot of public outreach already

If there was an old house that burned down in collapsed in a fire, the soil going down to where you start finding rubble might be like one context. Then the rubble might be the next one, then the foundation, then basement, and into the soil below. Actually probably many, but you get the idea

A context is a particular layer of soil that you're working on. Contexts are usually defined by what's in them. Like you find a layer that is a context, and you work your way down to another layer that's completely different, that becomes the next context.

The best thing is they don't treat me like a student. They treat me like one of the archaeologists. I mean I guess that's because I am one even though I have my imposter syndrome lol

So I ran my own context today. Damn it was hard ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Hooray for archaeology \๐Ÿฅฐ/

I had a lovely day excavating a particular context. It was an awful layer, with roots and rocks. And I loved every second of it ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ

I have some photos, but I will post them after I clear them with the site dir lol

Gosh, I love archaelogy

It hasn't been diagnosed, but I'm pretty sure that's what I have. My skin turns all these weird colors and looks like it's going through full out hardcore frostbite. I have to come in and like heat it up and then eventually it repairs. I mean it changes all kinds of blues and purples

I'm going to look today. I'm wondering how many other folks wear makeup to the archeology site. I hadn't really paid attention over the last couple years.

I just put on a little good sticking waterproof eyeliner, and a little brow darkener, but nothing else. hadn't really thought about it lol

Hooray for having done the language classes, even though I know you're referring to something in the past lol I wish they offered those where I am. I think that would be really interesting language to learn to speak

Tomorrow I will be starting a week of archeology in the field again. Wednesday through Friday, then Monday and Wednesday.

I don't do archeology professionally though I am a trained archaeologist. I do volunteer work at archeology sites that need it, which makes me happy ๐Ÿฅฐ

Since I switched teams, I've become extremely sensitive to the cold. I also have rynards, The condition where your fingers get kind of like colorful when they get really cold because of circulation. I used to be very warm and almost immune to cold. Now, I crave warmth lol

A book that I need to read.
I got this a year ago and lent it to my father. So now it's my turn to read it.

I also listen to the fascinating talk by the author at our museum.

I don't like war or killing, but when it's just a little silly ships that are clearly pretend, I do find the procedural and technical aspects of it quite fun.

Yes, girls like submarine combat sims, too lol

Well, I bought the video being sea power: combat in the missile age.

My first mission was a 688 flt1 vs. a soviet alfa lol

I fired a mk48 above the layer, dog legged it on the wire, then dropped it beneath and right on him. But he counter-fired, and I barely avoided lol

Won! lol ๐Ÿ‘ฉ

I have looked into digital archaelogy, though my passion is the later stoneage, especially interpretation.

But we'll see where the tides go lol
