DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

The National Park Service just took down Marsha P. Johnson's page. www.nps.gov/people/marsh...

"Forschungsstelle für koloniales Erbe. Ein undankbarer Job" Wow! Die ZEIT widmet Schicksal der Forschungsstelle @coloniallegacy.bsky.social einen ausführlichen Artikel, der zeigt, wie sich das Interesse der Politik für krit. Aufarbeitung des kolonialen Erbes abkühlte. www.zeit.de/2025/08/fors...

A huge loss for us all. An important voice on the political economy and power of inequality falls silent.

It appears irony is not dead after all.

Join us today at 12:30 CET (in about an hour) for our lunch meet-up! See you soon easaonline.org/networks/enq...

On Audre Lorde’s birthday, I’m thinking about her Kitchen Table Press. She (second from left), Barbara Smith, Cherrie Moraga and Hattie Gossett came together to establish a press centering feminist and lesbians of color — and it shook the publishing industry. #bhm

tomorrow is World Anthropology Day! There is a great number of events, among them our "Queer in Anthropology Lunch meet-up" @isbelb.bsky.social @lenamgr.bsky.social @easainfo.bsky.social @anthrodesires.bsky.social @enqa.bsky.social easaonline.org/resources/eu... www.easaonline.org/networks/enq...

So happy to see this published, and in such great company💞 My chapter 'Of Nails, Varnish and Kisses' explores how care of the human and non-human emerges through baroquely-informed community action. Thank you to the nurturing editors and my loved interlocutors. www.berghahnbooks.com/title/Posocc...

I thought I’d start putting together a list for people working within queer and trans Marxism. Please let me know if that’s you, so I can add you! go.bsky.app/6sdaeHP

Wann, wenn nicht jetzt? Die Grenzen des machbaren werden ausgetestet. Folgt keine Reaktion, werden die Grenzen verschoben. #WehrhafteDemokratie

Hurray - „Leaking panic as policy“, now published! Thanks so much @anthrotheory.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Critical Sociology compiled Michael Burawoy's articles and allowed free access. I hope other journals will do the same. journals.sagepub.com/page/crs/vir...

jippie, looking forward! @easainfo.bsky.social @enqa.bsky.social

Die Verhandlungen zwischen FPÖ und ÖVP sind offiziell gescheitert.

Super interesting forum titled "I was Wrong" in the new issue of the American Ethnologist (@amethno.bsky.social) #AnthroSky

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Revising is perhaps the hardest thing for me to do of the entire academic writing enterprise. Thus, I want to recommend two books that are incredibly useful for anyone wanting (or NEEDING) to revise their work: @williamgermano.bsky.social 's "On Revision": press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

Wtf

Während große Teile Syriens das Ende der Diktatur feiern, kämpft die kurdische Selbstverwaltung in Nordostsyrien gegen mit der Türkei verbündete Milizen. Die anhaltenden Angriffe drohen ein demokratisches und multiethnisches System zu zerstören:

Wenn ihr an ner Uni eingeschrieben seid und nen Bibliothekszugang habt, könnt ihr euch JETZT dranmachen, alle Ebooks zur Queer Theory und insbesondere zu trans Themen runterzuladen, die ihr im Katalog findet. Stellt euer eigenes Archiv zusammen. Ihr müsst die Sachen nicht mal lesen, nur sammeln.

Our Society for the Anthropology of Work @saw-anthroofwork.bsky.social is now on Bluesky! Spread the word! Hear about resources, research, and events towards anti-racist, decolonial approaches to work and labor, broadly. #anthrowork #aaa2024

Very sad news that Michael Burawoy was killed in a hit and run. Just awful. I just watched an excellent series of lectures he offered about Du Bois a few months ago. Terrible. www.mercurynews.com/2025/02/04/o...

Bitte verbreitet diese Bilder aus Wien. Auch hier geben sich die Leute nicht einfach geschlagen. Vergesst uns nicht.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I’ve tried to put together a non-exhaustive list of anthropologists on bluesky together. Did I miss anyone? Should I add you? go.bsky.app/GYEM3YK #anthropology #anthrosky

Ich freue mich sehr, dass ich mit meinem Buch Gast in der großartigen Podcast-Reihe des IfS sein durfte. Mein herzlicher Dank geht an Alex Kern für das tolle Gespräch 🤩

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

if you haven't learned about the imperial boomerang today's as good a day as any

Radical right now supposedly pushing for taking back #BolognaProcess and reinstating outdated Austrian higher education degrees. #ScienceSkepticism meets #EUSkepticism.

here is the theme for the spring session of the Radical Spotlights Series: "Queering Capitalism" 😍 if you know potential speakers in and around economic anthropology, let us know!! @anthrodesires.bsky.social @enqa.bsky.social @economicanthro.bsky.social econanthro.org/meet/

Das Feindbild Queerness im Allgemeinen und trans Personen im Besonderen wird von Rechtsextremen kampagnenartig bespielt. Dies zeigt ein neuer Bericht aus Österreich

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Check out this great Webinar series: Researching the Far Right: Methods and Ethics "a much needed discussion about the methodological, ethical, political, personal, practical and professional challenges that arise when researching the far right." www.sv.uio.no/c-rex/englis...

It’s here! In hardcover AND paperback! 19 Black women in political science share their personal and professional journeys, shedding light on the state of the discipline—and how it needs to change. (Spoiler: a lot.) Congrats, @draklm.bsky.social! @sunypress.bsky.social sunypress.edu/Books/D/Disr...

Eine anregende Rezension zu »Nicht die Ersten« kommt frisch aus der Feder von Heinz-Jürgen Voss für SocialNet. Der Beitrag zeigt auf, warum Queer of Color Bewegungen zu erzählen wichtig ist, und wo die Arbeit weitergehen muss. Danke dafür! www.socialnet.de/rezensionen/... #NichtDieErsten #QTIBIPoC

Das Wahlprogramm von Friedrich Merz stimmt teils wortgenau mit den Forderungen der Chemie- und Metallindustrie überein. Ob das wohl Zufall ist? Wir haben frühere Geschäftspartner und Arbeitgeber angeschaut – und decken bisher unbekannte Verbindungen zu Top-Lobbyisten und Wirtschaftsgiganten auf.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

Das ist übrigens die liberale Partei Österreichs, die hier sehr offen sagt, dass sie den „Schaden“ der SPÖ (Vermögenssteuer) schlimmer findet, als den Schaden den die FPÖ anrichten wird. Immerhin ehrlich.

Morgen!
