Anthros- do your future self a favor and put this book on your syllabus as soon as you can. Will fit with intro to cultural anthropology, medical anthropology, economic anthropology, ethnographic methods, care theory, kinship theory, & much more.

Who will be at #SFAA2025? If you’re free on Thursday afternoon join Chelsey Carter and me at the SANA keynote dialogue on “A Dying Biomedicine” (with inspiration from Frantz Fanon).

A page from the preface of my book detailing one effect of suddenly cutting USAID in Guatemala in 2017– not that this result is a surprise to anyone since this is part of their plan.

I know we’re busy with widespread chaos but the Lova’s recent issue focused on, “Sexist Garbage,” is worth a read. So many articles that had to be published anonymously. When we build up these collapsing institutions, let’s make them so much better than they were.

The first fire in Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower occurs on Feb 1, 2025.

Sharing a clip from a small town South Dakota newspaper from Feb 10, 1955.

Hoping that community hall immunization clinics - and not polio fundraisers - are part of the future of making america healthy again. 😢

Gorgeous! Oregon turkeys say hi!

At least Filippo left us with a priceless drawing for this moment.

Not to belabor the point but this is a bad way to cover RFKjr + nutrition.

Don’t fact check what they’re saying— look at what they’ve done. Past is prologue.

(Compare with this Propublica piece on how scientists were forced to downplay chemical harm: www.propublica.org/article/epa-...)

Vine Deloria’s Custer Died for your Sins (1969), is dark, hilarious, and offers perfect perspective for the moment. The title comes from a bumper sticker used to remind people that Custer was a blood sacrifice for the US government’s violation of the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie.

Might do this wrong (first real post) but:
