Y'all nice and comfy over here? Everything dandy while a genocide is happening and Palestinians are being silenced?

In coming years, eco-apartheid will become more prominent worldwide as colonial violence is used to maintain and safeguard Western interests and profits. We are seeing this future in Gaza today.

I fell in love with anthropology through Thomas Hylland Eriksen's Small Places, Large Issues.
European anthropology is poorer, sadder, and lonelier without Thomas.
We shall remember him for the remarkable way he gave life - and anthropology - meaning.

I wish fellow cis people would realize how interconnected the Right’s anti-trans ideology is to everything else.

NOT TO MENTION Their anti-trans work is genocidal. People scoffed when I said this in 2022 but it is true. Speak up about it already ffs

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.

This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.

He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

🏺I see the "just asking questions crowd" is in an uproar.

But research is not neutral. It doesn't have neutral impact.

This panel wasn't going to be about "innocent debate." It was about validating preferred assumptions over a body of anthropological work.

Hey anthrosky, would you like to write a short essay about public anthropology for extremely supportive editors? You would? Pitch me your awesome ideas!

And since that tweet, I had to turn down another BA supervision request and the opportunity to write in a special issue about a great topic that I have a lot to write about.
