Excited to share a new paper I co-wrote w/Gary Jaworksi in History of Social Science: Erving Goffman, Thomas Sebeok & Interaction Ethology. Based on new archival material, we show Goffman's ambition to meld interactionism & animal studies. cc @socscihistory.bsky.social muse.jhu.edu/pub/56/artic...

This is a great story about the last pigeon flyers of Baltimore

“The healthiest, tastiest way to eat is also the most compassionate and least polluting,”. RIP to legendary environmental and animal defender John Robbins (Diet for a New Planet”). An heir to Baskin Robbins, he rejected the family business to advocate for a plant-based diet.

It's a pleasant surprise to see @carlpope admit that he & other enviros downplayed methane emissions in 2010s. But a full mea culpa would mention that @sierraclub.org & other Big Greens vocally supported fracking & took petro $ for years after the Dimock catastrophe www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/o...

🧵No words for how infuriated this mea culpa from Carl Pope (former CEO @sierraclub.org) makes me feel. We openly shared with SC data on methane leaks from fracking while SC was secretly accepting $millions from the gas industry. Seriously fuck you. 1/7 Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/o...

Glad to see the NYU chapter of the @aaup.bsky.social involved in this lawsuit: "Professors Sue Trump Administration Over Arrests of Campus Protesters" www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/n...

"All over New York, police officers & staff start their workday by disregarding the law," @nicolegelinas.bsky.social writes. "They park their personal vehicles at bus stops, on sidewalks & in crosswalks," routinely endangering pedestrians & blocking accessible ramps. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/o...

RIP to urban legend (no pun intended) Donald Shoup aka Shoup Dogg, whose tome “The High Cost of Free Parking” turned the tide against car-centrism in urban planning and development

This is devastating. Master thinker, ethnographer, humanist, and revolutionary

RIP DAVID LYNCH. When he was an art student in Philly, my grandmom convinced her boss to rent him an apt. & helped him covertly paint EVERYTHING in interior black & recruit neighbors as cast for “the Grandmother” (1970). He sent her letters & premiere tix for years after youtube.com/watch?v=vWAE...

Am I the only parent who considers it a miracle when their child actually recovers an article of clothing from the school lost and found?

Great piece by Kate Morgan in @washingtonpost.com on learning to love pigeons again. I'm quoted! : “Because of climate change & urbanization, we’re in this moment where animals have to adapt to living w/ people. Pigeons are on the leading edge of that.” www.washingtonpost.com/home/2024/11...

Happy (vegan) Thanksgiving. This banger always gets me in the mood: youtu.be/aQv7TMcZ_eE?...

As @peter-singer.bsky.social writes in @nytimes.com & his @princetonupress.bsky.social book, let's use Thanksgiving to reflect on our contributions to unnecessary animal suffering. & for God's sake, dispense w/Presidential "pardoning" of the turkey, which is really an attempt to pardon our own guilt
