It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

It’s one of the greatest political cons of the last century that an issue mostly caused by irresponsible and lazy men (unwanted pregnancies) is somehow only ever discussed in terms of whether or not to regulate the bodies of women

When I was 16 I somehow got my hand on James Ferguson’s essay collection Global Shadows, and its rich wit and insight played a large role in drawing me to economic anthropology
Rest in power Dr Ferguson!

James Ferguson, a guiding light in the anthropology of southern Africa, has died.
His prose and analysis offered a model of clarity and insight. He was only 65. Very very sad.

Feminism is so dead that nowadays “the personal is political” means authoritarian inspections of women’s private parts
This is not feminism. This is not women’s rights. This is not protecting women & girls. This is grotesque, sexist, patriarchal oppression. Transphobia, literally the fear rather than the reality of trans people, has brought this horror to women. To children. Everyone involved should be ashamed.
HR 28, the bill to require genital inspections in women's sports, passes with just two Democratic votes.
DOA in the Senate. #HoldTheLine

Does it ever feel like someone set out to commit a hate crime against you specifically? That’s the Sapiens graphic novel for me

like i have been saying, a lot of americans do not treat politics as “real” — they approach it with an ironic distance that allows them to treat clear threats and statements of intent as mere rhetoric. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/u...

Been reading a lot of linguistic anthropology lately for a book review I’m preparing. It’s such a weird feeling being in a field where major figures like Alessandro Duranti are jus, still around, and they edit everything, and you harass them by email. Real culture shock from cultural anthropology
