I realized I like conversations & bite-size knowledge-sharing more than publishing. This heavily disadvantages me as an academic. But also why I like being in social media.

The dissertation! 150 pages of prairie, history, & more pawpaws than you'd expect.
I've sold over 850 copies of this baby, and the world being what it is, it's far too expensive to print another edition right now.

The term ‘sustainability’, as used in policy and common contemporary parlance, has a very European heritage, but its meanings and implications defy easy definition. While perhaps most famously the ter...

Hayes' & Kaba's Let This Radicalize You has been difficult to read. Not because it's a bad read, but because of how it exposes how terrible my experience was as a former campaigner of a grassroots organization.

Has anyone noticed that if you search ChatGPT AND environmental impacts, or ChatGPT AND climate change, or ChatGPT AND water consumption on Google Scholar, the first four pages show only articles with positive views of ChatGPT? Shaolei Ren et al.'s research articles don't even appear.

Maligamu' means 'caring' in Pulangiyen. This is such a beautiful gift. My ex & I have been trying our best to support a Pulangiyen student in his Anthro studies. Our support is not perfect, but I hope that he is able to achieve his dreams for himself, his family, & his community.

I've learned more about care, solidarity, and collectivity from my queer platonic polycules than from any other formations I've been a part of.
Queerness is definitely not just about attraction or sexual activity. It's about forging relations and sociality beyond cisheteronormative and patriarchal norms.

I was reading Elizabeth's Colston chapter on displacement last night. And it's interesting--and definitely baffling--to know that the "development displaced" is not considered a political category in international law.

I think it's a safe bet that the reduction will be even greater among disabled people - including autistic people, who are currently several times more likely to die by suicide than the population at large.
Universal Basic Income will likely significantly reduce suicide rates according to this huge study: "Those receiving [the cash] had a 61% lower risk of being a suicide victim than non-beneficiaries. The results were more pronounced among women and young individuals."

!["The results were miraculous.
'We used the 100 Million Brazilian Cohort (76,532,158 individuals) subset, linked to administrative mortality datasets in Brazil. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest cohort ever created to study health-related outcomes. We evaluated the impact of the Brazilian Cash Transfer Program on suicide outcomes over a 12 year follow-up [2004-15] and observed that those receiving Bolsa Familia had a 61% lower risk of being a suicide victim than non-beneficiaries. The results were more pronounced among women and young individuals. These results demonstrate that economic interventions, such as Conditional Cash Transfers, contribute to the reduction of suicide, presumably by reducing poverty-driven hardship.'"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:weypikbrwodr2fsanloqjx6s/bafkreifpku2je255nrka7qe5iv5i3g2fyzba4of52acw777ypycjekd4m4@jpeg)

A large part of my understanding of more-than-human relations as well as of queerness are shaped by my understanding of neurodiversity AND vice versa. My hopes for justice - environmental justice, disability justice, queer utopia - mutually reinforce each other.
