Coming together to eat the food we share has been part of humanity from the very beginning. I wrote this post after a Thanksgiving week lecture on evidence for Neanderthals and other ancient people making prepared mixtures of grains, lentils, and other foods.

This leads me to say something really controversial. Reconnecting Natives should reconnect with their relatives and their Native Nation BEFORE they use that reconnection as a platform, otherwise they are pouring from an empty cup.

Clavija is a Neotropical genus of 56 spp, some of which, like this C. weberbaueri, are litter-trapping Schopfbaum treelets. They have strappy leaves in rosettes that capture litter. For more information on litter-trapping, see our paper: doi.org/10.1111/boj....

MAD SISTERS OF ESI is one of The Washington Post’s 10 best SFF novels of 2025. In the sheer amount of what gets published each year and what gets lost, this feels like a small, precious miracle ❤️

Cops killed about the same number of Black people in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020. 2019 was slightly more.
There was another jump in 2021, setting a new record.
2022 higher than 2021. New record.
