I know there is a lot to doomscroll right now, but you need to plan some sort of offline activity and go do it.
Walking outside, going to a museum, cleaning your home, taking a nap, cooking some food, buying your favorite pastry; lots of options.

Wenner Gren is closing Sapiens because, among other things, they anticipate being able to fund fewer than 10% of their applications... at the same time as other funding sources from the federal government are being destroyed. This funding environment is an existential crisis for anthropology 🏺🧪

The vampire has been about many things in many cultures, anxieties about infection/blood, sex, death, and the power of women’s bodies (the yakshi in Kerala, for eg), but in modern societies there is truly no more vampiric an entity than the billionaire seeking power, longevity and even more wealth
You can understand how people in different cultures independently came up with the idea of vampires, of things that look like humans but exist only to consume humans in order to extend their unnatural lives.

Past experience suggests that adding work requirements to Medicaid will strip health services from millions of American without increasing employment.
