Hi all, and so happy to find this space!

Live: Saint Paul, MN (transplant from Oklahoma)

Work: #technology #computers — I've been in the #Apple and #macadmins communities for 30 years

Life: #hiking trails, reading physical #books, #cooking and socializing with friends

Fascinated by: The intersection of #humanity and #technology, #printing and #history of the written word

Here because of the toxicity out there. Looking for a little sanity in here. Feels like I've found that.

Hello There! Welcome. blobsmilehappyeyes

I'm George Penney, a #sff #comedy #fantasy #mystery author who writes with my lovely partner, Tony Johnson (AKA the Kraken). I also sometimes write snort laugh #books under the name Evie Snow, which are in the process of being republished. I have a couple of podcasts too.

I'm a cultural omnivore and am interested in a ridiculously wide range of topics from #history to #art to #music #science #travel #plants #animals #cats and I love anything #weird and wonderful.

Until recently, I house sat globally full-time so people who've followed me for a bit would have seen me around recording the various sagas of my (mainly) feline overlords.

Lately I have settled in a delightful small city in Aotearoa New Zealand and I frequently share bits and pieces from my wanderings out and about.

I love meeting new people, so feel free to say hi!😊 I might take a little bit to reply because I'm usually a bit behind on a writing deadline but I do my best to get back to everyone.

I've passed my #viva (yay!) and can now share two recent publications:

First, our article on reconstructing prehistoric land cover in the Humberhead Levels is now out in Vegetation History and #Archaeobotany.

We applied the Multiple Scenario Approach to produce spatially-informed quantitative reconstructions across four #prehistoric periods, working through the complexities of #wetland-rich 'blue-green' #landscapes where #freshwater and #marine systems intersect.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00334-026-01087-6

Second, I contributed to the #archaeology chapter in The Palgrave Handbook of #Anarchism (March 2026), which connects #anarchist theory and #history to contemporary political developments.

https://link.springer.com/book/9783031980299

More publications on the way as well and on to what comes next, whatever that might be (pls send me your #postdoc postings 🙏 😅 ).
