My pittie is extremely sweet and gentle.

I am suspicious of ANY model that is conveniently visualized as a pyramid.

My teammate on an H1B was just starting some fieldwork at a new implementation site for safe+natal. But instead of engaging with our community partners, he's rushing back to the US this weekend to avoid the possible $100k ransom.

Science is impossible under these conditions.

As an anthropologist I can tell you that people are always the problem.

I’ve a new comic up at the COMICS OFF THE PAGE exhibition at Melbourne’s Pink Ember Studio! The exhibition features experimental comics that go beyond the confines of a 2D space. Mine is a single comic page about process that is itself deconstructed into its layers

A young person with braided red hair rides a spotted brown horse through trees, a determined look on their face. They have a brown cloak, a yellow tunic/dress, and black leggings. They're carrying a water flask and a leather book satchel. Whatever message they're carrying, it's clearly urgent.

On the left of the image, there is a quote: "It's basically the best book on the Picts ever written. By starting from Scotland's environment and incorporating lessons from archaeology, history and art, this brings the Picts to life more effectively than any other depiction I've yet seen." from Dr Adrián Maldonado, National Museums Scotland.

The first time I heard the phrase "publish a dataset" I thought, "well, that doesn't apply to us. Why would an anthropologist publish their data?" It's been a minute, and now I understand why *sometimes* it's actually a great thing to do. And we did it!

In this time of expanding state violence, ramped up racism, and fascist nationalism, we need to remind ourselves that people do rise up against all odds. And sometimes set themselves free.
