I just called out a bunch of white cultural anthropologists I know from grad school on FB for being narrow-minded, patronizing, & slightly racist. Even tho it may burn some bridges, Im feeling pretty good abt it.

We found a chair that was originally in my dad's childhood home in IL. My childhood dog used to love sitting on it. Now its in my apt and my puppy has made it her own. Its nice when we can inherit furniture full of wonderful memories.

One of things I love about Spanish is that introducing myself as "Soy la Dra. MS" is completely acceptable (at least in #Mexico where I work). Makes me feel a little bit special 😁
Anyway, here are my dogs being cute.

In all this darkness, let's celebrate a little light. Happy 1st birthday to this wonderful baby girl, Usnavy aka Princess Navi. She's had quite a 1st year, from being adopted to losing her brother and getting a new one to moving all the way frm Mexico to USA. Love you my darling baby girl!

My partner tried to use that phrase "Hard times create strong men..." & when I objected then challenged me abt it as an archaeologist. I responded w/ history of US prez since the 80s, then told him that the guy who said that quote originally is a fiction author, not a historian. Archaeologist out:

Having looked thru this list, it is scary just how much research is going to be impacted by this. "Bias", "female", "socioeconomic"? JFC, these are all acceptable scientific terms, but now our research can be banned (essentially what this is) bc we are employing common academic terms.
For a full list of flagged words and insight into the incredibly ridiculous attempts at justifying their "depoliticization" of science/social sciences, read the report:
