My latest episode of Pokémon Snap In Real Life is now live!! Join me and @archaeomal.bsky.social (a real life archaeologist) as I head out to Boulder Beach to add entries to my Photodex!

A Pokémon Snap-styled video frame featuring the Pokemon Dracovish, Mallory in the corner with the text "Dracovish isn't even real."

THE THINGS YOU DO FOR FRIENDS AT 6AM (I nailed a green screen curtain thing to my ceiling)

Is this what insanity looks like?

And be sure to go check out the first installment featuring @sciantsmedia.com where we took a closer look at understanding fossilized creatures in Pokémon and how well they might actually hold up or compare to our science understanding!

In 2026, I've started a new series: Poké-Panels, where I sit down with a scientific/academic, etc. expert & talk about the Pokémon universe through the lens of their expertise. While I have a few, I'm looking for more folks to connect with. Any recommendations--let me know!!👇

Happy fourth anniversary to Pokémon Legends: Arceus!

This game is such an important installment in the franchise and was a beautiful way to bring love of history and our knowledge of Pokémon's mythology to the center of the discussion. ⛏️🏛️

Let me see yours!

FROSTY TOOLS SUCKS Because it relies on generative AI, a process that hinges on stolen training data, and uses dangerous amounts of energy & water to power each shoutout. The creator has admitted to using “The Pile” in the FrostyTools training data[1], which includes stolen Youtube Subtitles, Self-Published books and Academic Papers[2], directly stealing from small artists & creators without permission or compensation. Based on the output from other models, each message from Frostytools can use up to an 500ml (18oz) of water & enough energy to fully charge your phone 7 times.[3] Stop using FrostyTools. It is stealing work and polluting the planet to shoutout your raiders. Just use a non-AI chatbot instead.

Frosty Tools Sucks.

There are simpler, easier, less destructive things you can use instead.
Nightbot, Moobot, Streamer.Bot & MixItUp are all viable subs.

My new series, PokéPanels, is about bringing in real-world experts & academics to discuss how their respective fields line up with what exists in the Pokémon universe. Today we're taking it all the way back to prehistory with Dr. Balint from SciAnts!

What Stardew Valley "world expanding" mods are out there that AREN'T Expanded or Ridgeside (or require them)?

(Specifically thinking about mods that add new characters and locations)

"Welcome to the YouTube Partner Program" email

"ArchaeoArchives You are now a YouTube Partner" YouTube pop up alert

Feeling super encouraged to be starting off the new year having successfully monetized a *second* YouTube channel! I truly appreciate all the support I've had from folks over the last few years!

"two year alcohol-free perfection challenge" which includes marrying shane, completing custom community center bundles, must take place on the meadowlands farm and complete one arcade game begins during Mallory's streams tomorrow January 5

Honestly feels like it's been forever since I've announced a new Stardew Valley challenge, but my streams return tomorrow with a brand new one!

Alcohol-free perfection (in two years or less), live on Twitch! >> twitch.tv/mallory

Found out this morning that Stardew Voices, a voiceover mod for Stardew Valley (which currently includes all love interests), is out now!! Thank you @shannonhobby.bsky.social for all the work you and all the VA did to make this mod, I can't wait to play with it!!

An image introducing my Into the Wild Grass Mail Club showcasing the Pokémon themed stickers available featuring (Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, Espurr, Pikachu, and a mystery indicated by a question mark) Text reads, “Into the Wild Grass Mail Club, a mail club from @aarondamigos, series 1: Tiny Trail”

I started out 2026 by immediately receiving rejections from job applications, so I’m making my own job by starting a mail club. If you want to help a literal starving artist, each month you’ll get postcards and a sticker sheet featuring my photography and illustrations.

Still crying watching my Mega Delphox react over 3 months later

maybe I was truly delusional back then, but the Stardew Valley fandom in a post 1.6 update world is viscous, condescending and awful compared to what it was before the new boom that followed the update

now it's just like every other fandom with hate-filled players and misery

Working on an awesome new project for YouTube featuring the amazing @sciantsmedia.com
