Excited that my first article on #Buddhism has just been published: "Towards Mindful Development: Experiences of Wellbeing and Environmental Consciousness in African and Himalayan Cultural Contexts", in "Science, Meditation and Mindfulness: Proceedings of the 5th Conference on Vajrayana Buddhism".

A win for every woman in the world.

Delighted to share my latest article on "The Majestic Mountain Fortress-Temples of #Bhutan" in my regular travel column in this issue of Tashi Delek, Drukair's inflight magazine. Stay tuned, a book containing this article, and all my other articles (of which there are now many!) is being planned.

Excited about our hybrid panel "Is There a Global South Feminist Economics" at @iaffe.bsky.social on July 11th at 9:15 am Cali Columbia time (10:15 am EST) room 104D - with Chipo Hungwe, Jennifer Cohen, Amina Hersi, Alison Vasconez, myself, and inputs from Rachel Noble, Myrah Butt, Anam Perez Butt.

Happy 91st Birthday to His Holiness The Dalai Lama, who continues to be an inspiration to the world. An Ocean of wisdom. May peace and kindness prevail in the world. 🙏🏼 #FreeTibet

Excited to present a paper on global south and decolonial perspectives on #degrowth at the @pollenetwork.bsky.social conference next week in Barcelona, Spain, on the amazing panel on real existing degrowth (RED) organized by @giorgoskallis.bsky.social and his team. Takes place at 11 am on July 2nd.

I was sad to learn about the passing away of fellow Tibetan & Buddhist studies colleague and friend Dr Robert A.F. Thurman. I met him when he was giving a lecture in Bhutan. I was touched by his enthusiastic and encouraging words about my anthropological research in the country. Om mani padme hum 🙏🏼

My thoughts are with everyone in Bhutan today, as a major 5.6 magnitude earthquake hit Punakha. I hope everyone is safe, and that it did not cause too much trauma or damage. I am thinking of friends, colleagues, neighbors and all sentient beings in Bhutan. Please stay safe. 🙏🏼 #bhutan #earthquake

Following on the short in-memoriam I wrote for my mentor, friend and fellow #anthropologist Joachim Voss for @americananthro.bsky.social, I am honored to share the longer full-length version published by @cas-sca.bsky.social with moving quotes from #anthropologists James Fairhead and Johan Pottier.

As women gather from all over the world in Kathmandu to discuss #pastoralism & #rangelands I’m happy to share this edited volume published by #ICIMOD in 2016. While a decade has passed, issues of #gender & pastoralism continue to remain at the margins of development. www.academia.edu/9913252/Gend...

My in-memorium for my mentor, friend and fellow-anthropologist, Joachim Voss published today in #Anthropology News of @americananthro.bsky.social. I am grateful to remembrances from James Fairhead and Johan Pottier, part of the same anthropological lineage that includes me, with Joachim at its lead.

Excited to see a fellow #anthropologist win the #PulitzerPrize in non-fiction literature. Can't wait to read this! The rise in homelessness is an urgent topic, especially as it's driven by a heartless, dehumanizing economic system that promotes GDP at-all-costs, and rampant individualism. #degrowth

May the 4th be with you to protect the pale blue dot we call home. There is no planet B 🌍 May we have the wisdom to preserve & conserve all its resources, including all sentient beings we share our planet with. #Climate #adaptation and mitigation are the only way. We have the solutions. Use them! 🌏

The world must achieve gender equality. That’s all. #gender #genderequality #genderequity #feminism #genderequalitybeyondgdp

Delighted to share my latest article on "The Prayer Flags of Bhutan" in the May-June issue of Tashi Delek, the inflight magazine of Drukair. The article explores the history, cultural meanings and practices of prayer flags in the Himalayan Kingdom. Stay tuned for the book! #Bhutan #Bhutantravel

@jasonhickel.bsky.social SAPs were a neoliberal project aimed at rolling back of the State (ie social sevices, agricultural extension, etc). They increased women’s unpaid household, care and farming work burdens in the global south, and exacerbated gendered poverty (income, time) and inequalities.

What is the impact of IMF structural adjustment on social outcomes in the global South? Our analysis in the BMJ Global Health compiles evidence from existing empirical studies with advanced methods. The record is devastating. Buckle up:🧵 gh.bmj.com/content/bmjg...

Delighted to attend a pivotal conference on “Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth” in Geneva last week, organized by the UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights. I'm thrilled to have contributed 2 written inputs into the U.N. “Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth”. #degrowth

How to carry out the dumbest diplomatic feat in history. 1) Strait of Hormuz open. 2) attack Iran 3) threaten Iran as they retaliate by blocking Hormuz. 4) take over” blocking of Hormuz. 5) both action and reaction block supply of oil, which lowers carbon emissions, something they don’t believe in.

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Blockading a blockade is the work of a pure stable genius like no one has ever seen before. Only Donald Trump could have thought of this. It's like, "You think you can shoot at us? Well, we'll show you—we'll shoot ourselves!!" We should all have tears in our eyes.

This written record of threats to commit war crimes and genocide will be helpful in the future as evidence to prosecutors at The Hague. #25thamendmentnow

High time for the 25th amendment. #25thamendmentnow

The 25th Amendment exists for a reason.

The time has come to speak up, right now.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 4mo ago

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

Neoliberal capitalism and the broligrach billionaire class are more interested in sustaining profits, cheap access to resources and continued extraction of dirty fossil fuels at any cost (including unlawful wars and genocide), than it is about human rights, dignity, international law or peace.

The West is appalled by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Couldn't care less about the blockade of Cuba, the invasion of Lebanon or the continuing Genocide in Gaza.
