My pittie is extremely sweet and gentle.

I need this book. Empowered: A Woman Faculty of Color’s Guide to Teaching & Thriving by Chavella T. Pittman.

I am suspicious of ANY model that is conveniently visualized as a pyramid.

I have books that I will never read, too.

Create the problem to monetize the solution!

Today's editorial advice to an author: OMG please do not add the idea of the more than human in the very last sentence of your piece! #anthropology #academicsky

Tatter is just so cool. Now, a class on Wiener Werkstätte embroidery:

My teammate on an H1B was just starting some fieldwork at a new implementation site for safe+natal. But instead of engaging with our community partners, he's rushing back to the US this weekend to avoid the possible $100k ransom.

Science is impossible under these conditions.

Guys they're onto trantifa but they don't know about the trantifada

As an anthropologist I can tell you that people are always the problem.

This is so incredibly cool!!!

A young person with braided red hair rides a spotted brown horse through trees, a determined look on their face. They have a brown cloak, a yellow tunic/dress, and black leggings. They're carrying a water flask and a leather book satchel. Whatever message they're carrying, it's clearly urgent. On the left of the image, there is a quote: "It's basically the best book on the Picts ever written. By starting from Scotland's environment and incorporating lessons from archaeology, history and art, this brings the Picts to life more effectively than any other depiction I've yet seen." from Dr Adrián Maldonado, National Museums Scotland.

Pre-orders for Carved in Stone are open!! This book is gorgeous, and I am so grateful to use it (and the artwork!) in my videos.

You can pre-order from @stoutstoat.co.uk here: www.stoutstoat.co.uk/carvedinstone

Maybe I will have a pop up rage room at the annual meeting. Yea or nay?

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.

Feeling a little chicken little x Cassandra.

You seem to be crowing about it....

Funfunfun

I love footnote brawls!

(though sometimes they're ⬇️ 😬)

Slightly diminish a book.
Reasonable Expectations

Made me feel sooooo naive.

I was today years old when I learned for myself that sometimes the author's advisor does not disclose a conflict of interest as a reviewer.
