My latest article is now out in @anthropologica.bsky.social! In 2017, the Ontario govt added "X" to the available gender marker options on ID cards. However, nonbinary people continue to encounter institutions that misrecognize them or recategorize them within the binary. #anthropology

Amazing.

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Remember to thank Rebecda Black today for inventing Fridays, we honor her today on Black Friday

Today in words I have added to the Word dictionary while working on my disseration: "throuple"

Gender-affirming care saves lives

Name a better ice-breaker activity. You can’t! #indigenousresearchday #mcmaster #sexualhealth

I like the part where the men hug one another

Maybe it’s the non-American in me but “don’t ghost us” is so funny because it reads like they’re worried people aren’t going to show up… which honestly? A valid worry. #anthropology

Ezra Klein tomorrow: Guy at University of Washington was giving Nazi salutes the right way.

Conclusion, Trans women under GAHT demonstrate consistently lower CircP, & attenuated systolic BP responses during exercise, suggesting a distinct cardiovascular adaptation.

This week, we sent two letters to the Board of Canada Soccer, demanding they take action to ensure the Israel Football Association (IFA) is suspended from FIFA and the UEFA. Email Canada Soccer now: buff.ly/oWh2cC6

"Why would it bow to antidemocratic pressures by placing a professor on leave without their request, consent, or involvement? That any university would do this is beyond comprehension and is cause for alarm about the future of academic freedom in Canada."

“Trans people cannot live alongside people who promise to eradicate us from society.” — @katelynburns.com

What are the odds that 1. Someone else is doing their PhD research on the exact same topic as I am and 2. They got REB approval the same week that I did? Because it’s not 0!

Meanwhile in Canada...

Finally got ethics approval after 7.5 months of waiting so get ready for me to not shut up about my research

Nothing to add.

The Liberals would have crucified Prime Minister Poilievre for this.

I for one have never not called it the SkyDome

Solidarity forever www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

The absolute depravity of this from a Canadian national newspaper. I am basically speechless with rage.

For @forward.com, I wrote about how we know that Israel has been withholding food as a military tactic because Israeli officials have said versions of “we are withholding food as a military tactic” for the entirety of the war and pretending otherwise is willful ignorance forward.com/opinion/7586...

Furthermore, you need to get it through your head that there is nothing inherently wrong with trans women winning sometimes. "Fair" is not a system in which trans women are only ever allowed to lose. We can and should be the best sometimes, and that's perfectly fine.

I’m still not sure which one is Hudson and which one is Rex and at this point I refuse to learn

Note that if you have an Academia·edu account, you've signed an agreement with a commercial entity that profits off your personal research. This includes trawling and regurgitating your uploaded work as derivative AI slop (which they are doing at scale now). Time to leave.

Have they met academics? Did they actually think any would enjoy this?

Oh hey, that's me! I do do that.

Trans athlete Anaya Bangar challenges her sport’s ban, citing data on her transition - www.outsports.com/2025/6/24/24...

"I asked them what costume I was supposed to wear, as there are rules around how much fabric can be on your body," Coombes told the Reading Chronicle. "They confirmed that I need to wear a female swimming costume despite having to compete with the men." www.advocate.com/news/trans-w...

June is Indigenous History Month. We're spotlighting the work of Indigenous and allied scholars in our department who are rethinking what anthropology can be. Supporting Indigenous scholarship and confronting the discipline’s colonial roots is work we commit to every day—not just in June. #AnthroSky

Is this anything: Based and REBpilled

To be honest I always thought the phrase was "pneumonic device"

Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Universities can't even have a Gay Sex Command Center anymore, because of woke.
