Bright Futures?

Finishing my thesis has been a nightmare. I'm still not done. It's hard to stay motivated, especially as more and more sources are confirming that my chances of ending up somewhere else than unemployed are basically zero. I'm terrified of ending up nowhere, with a couple grand of student-loan debt, and a fancy masters degree from a top University in the most useless of disciplines. Of course, I don't think it's useless, and neither do any of the anthropologists I know, but good luck convincing the current job market to hire us...

I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I'm sure many other almost-graduates, recent-graduates and currently-looking-for-workers feel the same. Here's some visuals to make you feel less alone in the world, but alas, not much better about your life choices. (If you google "someecards anthropology", it comes up with basically anything related to unemployment and stalking)

Collaborative Storytelling: A Series of Portraits

A few photographs I took at a 'Collaborative Storytelling' Event.
(Yea, that might mean what you think it means)

A young woman newly discovering her faith.
Mother Eadon is calling her, and now she's going home.


A rich nobleman from another land,
come to claim his runaway bride.
A noble Knight from another land,
searching for the answers that may lead to her salvation.

Radinka comforts her curious friend who fears for her life,
after witnessing something not meant to be seen.

The wise and perspicacious Reverend Mother Cassandra,
the once legendary 'Oracle of Eadon',
preceded by her reputation, pulled back into the fray
(Taken by the lovely Desi, as I can't do two things at once)
