5 year old lit his pumpkin and excitedly waited in fancy dress for trick/treaters. None came (terrible weather). Tears followed. I called neighbour in secret who sent her 20 and 14 year olds round IN FULL ZOMBIE GEAR at 10 minutes notice. Happy 5yo. Best. Neighbours. Ever.
Dropped my son off at middle school this morning dressed as a bottle of ranch dressing and couldn’t help but notice everyone else was dressed as regular middle school kids

My favorite thing about this Halloween is, like, it feels like Halloween.
at that point. This meant that I was forced to part with my very first trowel, the trowel I had been gifted by my mentor John Dobbins during my very first field season, atop the Temple of Jupiter in Pompeii. It held an endless amount of personal significance to me and (3/?)
My partner pulled off the most wholesome, archaeologically adjacent, bamboozling act of kindness and I had to share it. 🧵 When I was in Rome this summer, somehow my trowel ended up in my carry-on. I was mortified when it was discovered in the TSA line, because I knew (1/?)
@rachelsteenblik Brown paper bag. I remember one year it was pouring rain, and some nice neighbor found us us something else to use, because ours were falling apart…
My husband is conducting zoom interviews for residency candidates today and I can hear him spending half of each interview advising the candidates on plant placement and other background issues so they'll look their best in the rest of the interviews.
1/ Today at Grady, walking in with a Grady elder Him: “Hey Miss Doctor.” Me: “Hey there, sir.” *walking to entrance* Him: *stops* “Umm, Miss Doctor?” Me: “Sir?” Him: “I just want to be sure that’s how you want your sock and your pants leg to be.” I pause and look down.

I teach a First Amendment class at the law school at University of Utah and today the entire class surprised me and dressed up in costumes that represent cases or legal doctrines we've covered so far and it's the most adorable thing I've ever seen.
She was saying she feels like “she’s not taken seriously and treated like a crazy person” when her hair is all over the place. So I flat twisted her hair into a cute little style for her in the back of the ambulance while we were otw to the hospital.
Little thread: I had a patient today who was a little elderly black woman. She was telling me that she really didn’t want to go to the hospital because her hair wasn’t done and she notices that yt doctors and nurse treat her differently when her hair is done vs. when it isn’t.

@mlcarmel Growing up in late 80s/early 90s in the Northend off 14th, we would always hit Harrison Blvd. A few years later growing up in Foothills East, we always made sure to hit the houses on Table Rock, plus Gov. Andrus to get an Idaho Spud Bar! But never outside your own hood! Never!!!
@mlcarmel Grew up in Idaho and North Dakota and we always trick or treat our own neighborhoods. We love to walk Harrison before Halloween to see everything, but waiting in line at houses doesn’t seem like much fun.
@mlcarmel When I was a kid, we only trick or treated in a different neighborhood if we were invited to go around with someone who lived there. No way we would’ve just showed up.
@mlcarmel We live in a neighborhood that’s only just barely turning over from very old retirees. We have to go to other neighborhoods if my kids want anyone to answer the door. It’s not about the best, it’s about something, anything.

My favorite thing about this Halloween is, like, it feels like Halloween.
Things that do not offend God: Dressing up in costumes. Magic & witches. Ouija boards. Delighting in eerie things. Things that offend God deeply: Poverty. Racism. Homelessness. Patriarchy. Homophobia. Religious persecution. Transphobia. Medical debt. Prioritize accordingly.
I am not a nice person. Niceness is performative. Niceness has no substance or meaning. Niceness can come from the lips of truly evil people. Kindness is different. It takes effort to be kind, yet so many people confuse the two, and mistake kindness for not having a spine.

Today, the day I woke up at 5 to care for a sick child, I thought it would be smart to get my Covid and flu shot. 0/10 would not recommend
and gifted me the most special gift I have ever received: the first trowel he got on his first excavation ever, at UMich. He told me that right as Ty had emailed him with his query, he had been thinking about how to rehome it, and the two of them had met to arrange a way (8/?)
he told me, “I already know Ty.” I was so confused, thinking maybe they knew each other through the hospital or some other community event in Charlottesville. Instead, I found out that John was there to meet us for dinner. John sat down for soup with us (7/?)
When I arrived in Charlottesville, my partner and I went downtown for dinner, and as I rounded the corner I found John there. I exclaimed, “Oh look, it’s John Dobbins!”, having not seen him in two years. I thought it was a coincidence and introduced him to Ty. Confusingly, (6/?)
John Dobbins to ask him what brand of trowel archaeologists use. But John had something else in mind. The two of them, with me still completely unknowing, schemed amongst themselves and met for coffee together to pull off the most clandestine operation ever. (5/?)
I was absolutely heartbroken and devestated. So my partner started plotting to buy me a new trowel as a surprise for our anniversary. Because he’s a medical doctor and not an archaeologist, he didn’t know where to start, and, unbeknownst to me, tracked down and emailed (4/?)
at that point. This meant that I was forced to part with my very first trowel, the trowel I had been gifted by my mentor John Dobbins during my very first field season, atop the Temple of Jupiter in Pompeii. It held an endless amount of personal significance to me and (3/?)
