It is 'bandcamp Friday' on a specific music platform that on certain Fridays, passes all their revenue to the musicians themselves. I recommend this band! countingcardsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/jormun...

Okay kicking my own shins that I didn't check this out earlier!!! This is awesome! It reminds me of the SoCal skatepunk I grew up on. Melodic and a pechant for harmonic choruses but add a smidge of filth to it and a bit of a Metal feel and aesthetic...

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

Apropos Fachkräftemangel: Eine Bekannte ist ausgebildete Erzieherin. Sie muss sich einen neuen Arbeitsplatz suchen. U.a. bewarb sie sich für eine Stelle in einem Gemeindekindergarten. Sie wurde abgelehnt, weil sie Fachkraft und damit zu teuer ist. Frauenarbeit muss billig sein! Nämlich! #Frauentag

Bridgebuilders and Historians Turned Metal Into Myth

Historians often reinforce evolutionist narratives that rank civilizations and nationalize invention.

Returning today to data and unpublished writing that are more than 10 years old, but speak to a phenomenon of ongoing interest. 🥲😶 I am filled with compassion towards my younger self, even while amused at her evident immaturity in the academic profession:🧵 #AcademicSky #STS #Anthropology

I'm horrified. This image is from the Anthropic lawsuit case, showing the destructive scanning warehouse. I want to know if there's a list of destructively scanned paperbacks. This is NOT the same as the works list harvested via pirate sites, this has got to be a separate lawsuit. 😡#writingcommunity

"An interdisciplinary team is not a group of people trained in 'interdisciplinarity'. It’s a group of people who have deep knowledge and sound judgment in their disciplines." Interesting point I just stumbled across here: theconversation.com/why-the-inte... #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter

Why the ‘interdisciplinary’ push in universities is actually a dangerous antidisciplinary trend

Talk of “breaking down the barriers” is all too often a cover for breaking down academic disciplines to create administrative flexibility.

Anthropic settlement checks are arriving in the mail to book authors who suffered #AI #plagiarism.

I have words, and I am going to use them. I have a voice, and I am going to use it. #AmWriting People in my birth country are trying to curtail the existence of the form of expertise my colleagues and I represent, #Anthropology.

The NSF Bio Anthro Program DDRIG, Cultural Anthrpology DDRIG, and Archaeology DDRIG have all been archived (as of yesterday afternoon). Please speak with your grad students and plan accordingly. To say I am angry and depressed about this is an understatement.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.
