That feeling when you submit something that really isn't where you want it to be but you are way past the deadline and just have to get something in.

"I focus on letting them know what I’ve learned. And the crazy thing about grief is it’s like rain: Sometimes you can smell when the rain is coming, and sometimes it just comes outta nowhere."
St. Louis native Shamari Jackson began studying mortuary science after her boyfriend was fatally shot. Now she uses her work as a form of therapy.

The first time I heard the phrase "publish a dataset" I thought, "well, that doesn't apply to us. Why would an anthropologist publish their data?" It's been a minute, and now I understand why *sometimes* it's actually a great thing to do. And we did it!

In this time of expanding state violence, ramped up racism, and fascist nationalism, we need to remind ourselves that people do rise up against all odds. And sometimes set themselves free.
Happy to share the book cover of our fourth and now officially forthcoming graphic novel *Black Schooner: Rebellion on the Amistad* by David Lester, Paul Buhle, and myself, to be published by @beaconpress.bsky.social in June 2026. More info available here:
