Crone Medicine

Pre-ordered! Another reason to love Halloween 🎃 🪴 📖

The book surrounded by tropes and arrows: * Urban witches and contemporary Pagans * Friends-to-Lovers * Second-Chance Romance * College Sweethearts * Mild Spice * She prefers houseplants to people * He's a goofy cinnamon roll who sucks at keeping in touch The graphic shows the cover of Plant Lady surrounded by green pothos vines and tropes in black text. Arrows point from the tropes toward the book. The cover depicts Fern and Paul. Fern is a white woman with long brown hair braided. She has a green streak in her hair and wears a silver pentacle necklace over a green shirt. Paul is a white man with short, dirty-blond hair. He wears a black tshirt and you can just see a chain tattoo under his sleeve. They both have brown eyes. They stand back to back but look at each other over their shoulders. Fern holds a potted pothos and Paul holds one of the vines. There's a window in the background along with a shelf of plants below a row of twinkle lights and the title.

My latest novel, PLANT LADY, comes out on October 31 from
Shadow Spark Publishing!

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Most bioarchaeologists will greet the skeletons they study, and many I know will say goodnight when leaving.
I heard of one who bought a night light for a collection they were working on just in case anyone was scared of the dark 🏺

a lot of things are true. the refusal to grasp this is a non-trivial amount of the problem

This is the longer version of the thing I was trying to say, which still is by no means everything I have to say in any direction. Do not try to infer or assume based on what I haven't said.You can ask me questions if you'd like to know. I will answer if I have the energy and am in the mood.

A really interesting article on the uses of DNA sequencing in ancient cemeteries, and how it can illuminate relationships and politics that are invisible without it.

I think about that a lot. There’s a very real sense in which that has guided my entire approach to Being Online. Why are we here, in this particular space? Why are our words important? How do we make our mark, how do we contribute?

Have a point or be funny, man. Ideally both, but at least one frfr.

Faoladh: Werewolves of Ireland The other day I was browsing Tumblr and I turned up a post on Irish werewolves. I knew Irish mythology and folklore had lots of shapeshifters, but I had never heard of werewolves. Better still, it tur...

For a few years on Twitter, I did a #HalloweenArchaeoloy series each October. I shared stories of interesting "spooky" things related to archaeology/anthropology. Trying it out here. This first entry is more folklore-related and regards Irish werewolves. 🏺

First one comes out tonight, actually. Sorry for the delay. It's about Elon Musk.

Best argument I’ve heard so far …
but I’m still going to sleep on it before I cast the Final vote
#MinCup23

I have to give Stibnite the art vote. Used in kohl, glassmaking & pyrotechnics for centuries it is also a grey-black pigment found on Gothic sculpture and 16th century painting like these. #MinCup23

I knew it! Those dastardly scientists struck again!

Ancient eyeliner & antimony ore #Stibnite bewitches with iridescent blades, while futuristic #Perovskite rains on stars & tantalizes technological possibilities.

ICYMI and are still undecided... googly trilobite eyes, seriously! #VoteTeamCalcite in #MinCup23 and if you already have, thank you!

Oh my god it's a close match but I believe calcite can pull ahead

There's the one that's cool in an "advanced sophisticated science" kind of way, and the one that's cool in an "intro to science, accessible to everyone" kind of way, and I'm going for the coolness of calcite here

Calcite appears to be falling behind with just a couple hours left to vote. Pulling out the hottest pix to motivate you to #VoteTeamCalcite: This calcite curtain in Mammoth Cave! 😍 #MinCup23

Yes, Sean … exactly so
