Are folks from other instances welcome here? Still figuring out etiquette or whatever. I got impatient over the weekend and jumped into Lemmy through sopuli.xyz due to a lower barrier to entry.
I’m a Minnesota person living in St. Paul. I coordinate graduate programs, which basically means I’m a nanny for graduate students. Movie nerd and sweet tooth haver. 1 dog and 3 cats. I used to be a forklift operator and a freight railroad conductor. Formerly UFCW, BLET, and AFSCME. Now I’m IWW IU620.
What kind of movie? The comedy One, Two, Three! with James Cagney from the 60s is a lot of fun. Hausu is a bonkers Japanese haunted house movie that’s very special. If you want something more recent and in English, Coherence is a great low-budget science fiction/horror film that was done extremely well.
What’s “Technically an archaeologist” for you? I’m a long-time CRM shovelbum from Minneapolis. As a grad school coordinator, do you know or have any opinions on the U’s newish heritage or whatever they call it program? I’m reaching the point in my life where I’d really like stable, permanent work, which you pretty much can’t get without a master’s, and I’d rather not have to move to St Cloud for their program.
Hey, it’s me from my midwest.social account. I got admitted to this instance a day or so after posting that so I never saw any of these responses.
My degree is in archaeology and I RA’d on a couple projects, but after graduating I never managed to do anything with it. It’s been like 15 years since I’ve been in the field. At this point I’m fully unqualified to actually do the work, but it’s still my academic background and my current work environment is alllll about your academic background. I slap “technically” in there so nobody like you with actual expertise asks me anything tricky 😛
Do you have a link for the program you’re referring to? I can look it over and see how it looks to me. If it’s a UMN program, I may be able to get you in touch with someone who could tell you even more.

You’re forklift certified??? 🥵🥵🥵🥵
Edit: Sure, users from other instances are welcome.
It’s been a minute, but I was! I bet if you put me on an order picker today I’d only do like tens of thousands worth of damage tops 😋
Heyy. AFSCME local 722 over here (pharmacy worker at a hospital)
What’s up, Council 5 sibling?!
Hey! What’s a movie that you love that I may not have seen?
Same guy, different instance :)

123 & Coherence look interesting! I’ll have to check them out.
Hausu is a masterpiece.
