“If one function of climate science is to address a global climate crisis, then the form of researching and making climate archives—how, where, and with whom—must also change” A 🔥 collaborative #envhist essay by @roguechieftan.bsky.social & Lina Pérez-Angelis www.sciencehistory.org/stories/maga...

The climate history of tropical regions has been chronically understudied. Correcting the record will require new methods and new mindsets.

We have launched the English version of Enciclopédia de Antropologia, an online encyclopedia of anthropology from Brazil. We have translated 15 entries covering Brazilian topics, such as Amerindian perspectivism, Afro-Brazilian feminists and Indigenous authors. Please share it! ea.fflch.usp.br/en

Front page of Enciclopédia de Antropologia, an online encyclopedia of anthropology from Brazil. The texts says: The intention from the outset was for this encyclopaedia of anthropology to be used as a work tool. Initially resulting from a partnership between students and professors of the Department of Anthropology at the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, it was born in the classroom, fed by the exchanges and debates that took place on the regular graduate courses. The project expanded, overflowing its original spaces, although remaining faithful to the spirit that first guided it – a spirit marked by experimentation and mutual learning, which, day by day, defined the profile and content of the work. Reflecting the way it has grown and evolved, the name attributed to the project (‘Encyclopaedia’) should not give the illusion of totality or completeness. On the contrary, it is a work in continual formation whose developments and additions will be defined by the research and the combined reflections of staff and students. While it diverges from the idea of a totality that usually informs the encyclopaedic project, it retains the dimension of a collective collaboration, hence the decision to maintain the name.Front page of Enciclopédia de Antropologia, an online encyclopedia of anthropology from Brazil. The text says: The Enciclopédia de Antropologia contains individually authored and alphabetically organized entries covering biographies of authors and activists, publications (books, essays, edited volumes), concepts and debates, intellectual currents, subfields, and institutions. Deliberately synthetic and presented in an accessible language, the entries are designed to guide those interested in learning more about concepts, works, and authors central to anthropological reflection. A work and training tool for those who produced the texts, the EA is also intended as a research and learning tool for the reader, who, in addition to being able to browse through the published texts, will also have access to a bibliography, allowing them to explore new paths if they so wish. Of our more than 100 entries in Portuguese, those specifically related to Brazil, such as Brazilian authors, institutions, and issues were translated into English. They are accompanied by editor's notes containing additional explanations and contextual information, written for our international readers. Our objective is to disseminate knowledge produced in academia. Readers are therefore more than welcome to circulate the published texts as long as they are fully cited with the title of the entry, the name of the author(s), the website address, and the date when the entry was consulted. We offer examples of how to cite each entry at the end of them.Alphabetical index of the encyclopedia, with two entries: Amerindian perspectivism, Sandra BenitesBild

Biden praticou “greenwashing” na Amazônia. Deixou para vir ao Brasil depois de uma derrota eleitoral acachapante, em final de mandato, enfraquecido politicamente, p/anunciar uma doação ridícula pro Fundo Amazônia (que ainda dependerá do sinal verde do Congresso americano). Good retirement, pal!

“Doomscrolling” is so limited. Today I have also doomedited, doomresearched my next story, and I’m about to doomeat a frozen doomburrito. You gotta be open to new doomexperiences.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

One of the things that fucks me up about the whole “parental rights” discussion when talking about LGB and especially T children is that the specific parental right they want is the right to abuse their children.
