I’m not going to lie, this whole “humanitarian” pier Trojan Horse Raid is taking me out. Disguised as aid workers, but they just go in and murder hundreds of people? There is truly no bottom

Israel has destroyed every Gaza university

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures. thelancet.com/journals/lance… thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Lots of amazing folks have just started new faculty jobs, and it's prompted me to reflect on the last 5 years of my TT experience. So here are 15 lessons I wish I'd learned earlier as an academic:

Diez años sin respuestas en México. Los padres de los 43 desaparecidos de Ayotzinapa no se rinden (from The Associated Press) Por ⁦María Verza⁩ apnews.com/article/e7e008…

The names of the 172 Palestinian journalists martyred since 10/7. Free Palestine.

BREAKING: Israeli soldiers have stormed the Al Jazeera office in Ramallah, located in the occupied West Bank, and have ordered them to shut down for 45 days. This is a developing story.

Where is American Anthropological Association on Muhlenberg College ‘s firing of Maura Finkelstein and its enabling of the vicious smear campaign against her?

Earlier this year I wrote about Germany's disturbing relationship with Jews for The Baffler. In light of the "Antisemitismus Resolution" passed last week, it seems I can now be labeled an antisemite by the country that murdered most of my family. thebaffler.com/latest/how-ger…

An essay made with only first sentences, all collected from anthropology monographs and articles. Truly hypnotic. I love it. A feast for the feet(notes). anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Un artículo escrito sólo con primeras frases de libros y artículos de antropología. Una joya para reflexionar sobre cómo se hace el realismo en la escritura (y lectura). Infinitamente más interesante, inteligente y generativo que todos los Sokal affair. anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Thanks 🙏

I'm late to this, but American Anthropologist—THE JOURNAL just published an essay I "wrote" (it's composed entirely of first sentences from already-published anthropology articles and books). If you want to take a squiz, it's open access. Thank you and apologies in advance. anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
