Luckily it is virtually impossible for AI to write convincing ethnography. Not that I have tested this theory (yet).

Skate Canada: willing to take more action in solidarity with trans folks than /checks notes/ the federal government.

This is the 4th person this week! This time a 58 yo man who is suspected to have died shoveling snow outside his house on Wednesday but was not found until today when he didn't show up to his friends house. All of these are linked to aging and social isolation. www.tvanouvelles.ca/2025/12/13/d...

The legacy of the current government here in Quebec is an unparalleled, rapid dismantling of everything that makes this province good. Shocking to see the scale and speed they’re fucking things up here

Reproductive rights are not a given… in QUEBEC, in the year of our lord 2025.

“This year will mark 36 years since 14 young women were murdered on Dec. 6, 1989, and I don’t think it ever gets easier to think of the circumstances of their deaths or the stamped-out promise of their young lives.” #dec6 cultmtl.com/2025/11/gend...

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery? Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!! Here are 5 other things to know:

The "jokes" and general callousness in response to the Epst*in emails just affirms my belief that the gulf between survivors of sexual violence and those who aren't / or otherwise do not recognize their experiences as violent is WIDE.

It feels desperately painful to see some of the most morally consistent, fierce, clear-eyed, & principled teachers leave us as f@scism continues to balloon—the same f@scism committed to debility & the abandonment of disabled people. Elders, oracles, ancestors. RIP @sfdirewolf.bsky.social.

Teen Vogue did some terrific work. Great story here on Teen Vogue and how the Vogue/Conde Nast bosses seem like the "liberal" types who have been eager to use Trump's rise as a pretext to silence progressives/leftists they disagree with. www.cjr.org/feature/the-...

"The high school senior posted a story on her private Instagram account with the caption 'Fuck Israel. Holy shit.'" "Dawn decided she wouldn't serve the suspension." "We are proud of our daughter." #Quebec #Canada #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Education #Genocide

Our entire working life is an exercise of "Are you producing enough capital to justify keeping alive?" It's dehumanizing, exhausting, and traps people in abusive employment situations

i think if the democrats had dug in their heels and said "this is the epstein shutdown. trump is starving the country because he doesn't want the epstein files to come out" they probably could have ended him. so it was very kind of them to not do that

If crime is way down, why are Canadians so afraid of crime? And what are politicians funnelling money into? My latest -- they are boosting policing to police us ... not keep us safe (unless you're rich, which trust me, you are not.) noraloreto.substack.com/p/the-big-cr...

A public consultation among over 214,000 Quebecers revealed that 91% of respondents want to abolish the time change, with 72% preferring to remain on DST year-round.

I finally did it and organized my thoughts on Bill C-2, C-5, 5 etc. into a concise(ish) narrative. There's many threads to navigate through below if you wanna spend your day / week going down all the rabbit holes I did. I made a more accessible version in this article: jeff.doctor/blog/my-summ...

Were the author not a business school prof high on his own supply of AI hype, he would perhaps be able to comprehend that the answer to the question of why new graduates lack critical thinking skills lies in the normalization of AI, and the pandemic. The solution is not more AI, Shannon.

Nothing can prepare you for the vacuous nothing that follows completing your PhD. Even though your peers warned you. The total radio silence, especially when you’re not feverishly pursuing academic positions. Scathed.

‘Obedient, yielding and happy to follow’: the troubling rise of AI girlfriends

Happy to share my article “Vignettes from Athens: On drawing, ethnography, and being a bad anthropologist”, published in the Multimodal Ethnography section of Anthropology and Humanism. It is a bit of strange perhaps harsh one, full of disegnetti at least. #anthropology #drawing #ethnography

Probably the most personal thing I've ever written, about living in crip time, about precarity, and how crip scholars grinding in precarity are further marginalized by academia's timezones (and rhetoric of timeliness) #MedievalSky #CripSky #DisabilitySky www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

What do I do if there’s a job that I’m ridiculously qualified for and *very* excited about? Like - dreamy job. What am I saying in the cover letter? How can I reach out before submitting or before the deadline to really express how terribly I want to work for/with this team?

This is such a good article on how the undermining of universities is part of an anti-democratic movement: “Anti-university rhetoric is the language of an international pro-authoritarian movement opposed to centers of learning that model liberal-democratic values”

“Thúy has been a Quebecer longer than Bock-Côté has been alive. Why is she being treated by him as a foreigner, branded as ungrateful the minute she criticizes policies & rhetoric that deeply impact Quebec’s reputation and many Quebecers’ sense of belonging?” www.montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu...

The audacity of RFK Jr. to claim that autism does not occur in older adults when the Kennedys literally lobotomized Rosemary Kennedy because of *developmental delays and irritability* is horrific. They also had her institutionalized and isolated from the family. Rosemary deserved better.

"The labor participation rate for women with children younger than 5 had the biggest midyear drop in more than 40 years during the first six months of 2025."

Takeaway from my diss? For real for real? “Horizontal thinking” is a crucial & unavoidable step in my writing/intellectual practice. It is essential that I “lie down about it” to process ideas in the dreamy interstitial time-space between awake & asleep b4 bed, at nap time, etc.

Anyone know how to have proportionate levels of anxiety or?

Download and save important things (writing, images, videos, art, legal documents) to external hard drives. Print things. Make copies. Become an amateur archivist. Stat.

Do I know anyone on here who works with/at/in proximity to the MUHC research institute (CORE, more specifically) and/or the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA)???

Air Canada suspends plan to resume flying Sunday after unionized flight attendants say they’ll defy government back-to-work order

What we are witnessing with air Canada is a complete breakdown in Canada's industrial relations regime. It's part of a trend that should be scaring the hell out of average people.

Increasing temperatures from climate change have led to a 40% reduction in blue whale “songs” in just the past 6 years alone. “It’s like trying to sing while you're starving,” said John Ryan, a biological oceanographer. The world's oceans absorb more than 90% of the excess heat from climate change

It gives the Cowichan Tribes, the Stz’uminus First Nation, Penelakut Tribe, Halalt First Nation — as well as the Lyackson First Nation in a supporting role — Aboriginal title over the Tribes’ historic Tl’uqtinus village on the southeast side of Lulu Island.
