Sometimes I try to get away from linguistic anthropology, but in the end, I get pulled back—this time by Briggs and Bauman. Intertextuality becomes the mechanism through which I argue salteñas are actually a symbol of indigeneity. Who knew? (Not even me when I wrote the abstract) #aaa2025

because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Inside the CIA’s secret mission to sabotage Afghanistan’s opium
In a decade-long operation, the CIA modified poppy seeds and dropped them by the billions from aircraft over Afghanistan in an attempt to weaken the potency of the country’s opium crop.

Social norms are unwritten rules backed by social sanctions. If child sexual abuse isn’t met with strong, collective consequences, we don’t have a social norm against it.

Just taught Imagined Communities in intro yesterday, and it’s making read this through a lens of “horizontal comradeship.” Maybe I’ll use it in class next semester.
My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

The 30 Rock episode with “how do you do, fellow kids?” is closer to the release of Windows 98 than it is to today.
I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”
