Today is publication day for The Nursing Clio Reader. As I write in the preface of the book, I started Nursing Clio back when I was a second-semester grad student as part of a final project in a public humanities seminar taught by historian Matthew Countryman at UMich. 🧵

So many signs of the worst of eras and I then I saw a reel of someone’s gender reveal party with a live ultrasound projected on a movie screen. Not sure why people want to show their fetus’s genitals off to a crowd. 😳

"Proposals for a Caring Economy" comes out this spring. I often hope that a book will become irrelevant by the time it's published. Sadly, this little book is more relevant than ever. It offers a set of ethnographically-driven policy recommendations, suitable for any reader. bit.ly/4iS1tUS

Lesley McMillan’s article with Rose Corrigan, @ratnagiri77.bsky.social, Gethin Rees and Deborah White critically explores the use of sexual assault forensic medical examination as a means to assess complainant’s credibility. Access it first here buff.ly/AZAgcWd @emorywgss.bsky.social

From the Chronice of Higher Ed's daily newsletter email. The first ICE arrest on a college campus happened at Spokane Community College yesterday. The Chronicle, however, is here to tell us that in "the bigger picture," it's no big deal, even if "the loudest voices" say it is.

May your soup jumou be spicy and flavorful and taste like FREEDOM!

Yesterday, this contortionist figured out how to pick at her surgical sutures. We put her in a surgical suit which she mysteriously shed overnight, so this morning it’s a double cone, which seems to be running enough interference to keep her from picking at her scars.

The most important thjng I did today was hang out with this cutie who has had a good week at home and is healing well and on her way from feral to cuddle gal.

Important thread. Long read about how Elsevier, which publishes a large number of important scientific journals, has driven the entire editorial board of the Journal of Human Evolution to resign in protest/disgust. Prioritizing profits. Elsevier doesn't understand the value of its own products.

I’m headed to Tampa to be there for/with colleagues who are doing community work in imperfect communities. I hope associations can rethink big conferences. I want to see my people and some anthropologists are definitely my people, but we can be with each other in different ways.

I’d love to put together an Anthro of GBV starter pack but I’m not sure who is all on here. @karinf.bsky.social @mgabrielatorres.bsky.social @ratnagiri77.bsky.social @emmalouisebacke.bsky.social are key people to start, and I’ll keep looking for others. #AnthroGBVSky

Thank you NWSA and James and Grace Lee Boggs Foundation, Emory students and colleagues, my collaborators Ramona, Katie and Kevin, and new friends and old who made my time in Detroit lovely. Homeward with my heart full.

It would really be great if @bsky.app could make it so that the ALT txt is automatic, with in app images, at least.

In the next few days, there will just be more cat/kitten content on this account. (See cuddle puddle below).

It’s still paramount to stop the assault on Gaza, the starvation, the bombing, the killing. Ceasefire now.

Have reached the part of cutting this proposal shorter where I am now combing through the submission guidelines to make sure I have exhausted font, spacing and margin limits. Painful.

Today, Minneapolis City Council voted 9-3 to advance a ceasefire resolution that calls for an end to the genocide happening in Palestine. We take a final vote on Thursday. 🧵

Back in PT for another 4-6 weeks, and I both appreciate it and am wondering how I am supposed to find time to take care of all the things.

People with online registration portals who make me download, fill out, and then scan and upload docs. Shame. 😒

14 degrees (Farenheit)---have lost my Wisconsin hardiness and am cautiously bundling up for the trip to campus and the first day of the semester.
