It has arrived… @sunypress.bsky.social

Pentagon abruptly ends all funding for social science research ... suggesting "they don’t care about better understanding threats the U.S. faces” www.science.org/content/arti...

Anti-trans laws mostly harm cis women and bring male cops into women’s toilets. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/cops...

This is the ultimate goal of the "Gender Critical" movement: to make being trans illegal, and to make prisons torture for trans people It's not that the American GC movement is more extreme or at odds with the UK one, they are just further ahead

Just noticed that there's a 2.5-year STS postdoc position available at @edinburghuni.bsky.social, to work in the excellent Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society. Closing date very soon: March 7! #STS #histstm #medanthro

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

NEH introduces new prohibited categories to comply with executive orders. This is an infringement of academic freedom plain and simple, and also nonsense: what is “discriminatory equity ideology”

Hi all! We have extended the deadline for this call!! New deadline: Saturday, March 1! 💗

The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument web page, removing the “T” in references to LGBTQ+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

NEH has posted updates to the funding restrictions for some grant programs.

It's important to remember that serving in the military is not liberation for trans people. Queer Trans War Ban started in 2017 as a project to combat pro-military rhetoric. Go to queertranswarban.com to find these designs and more information about anti-militarism.

This is what led to book bans targeting Toni Morrison and Maus at the state level. When you threaten people's jobs--or even imprisonment-- they will interpret you as broadly as possible

I don’t think people know how sex works… www.them.us/story/scotus...

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

Friends, please help me spreading the word about this Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity at Penn for a scholar to work at the Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies. More info here: apply.interfolio.com/160769

Imagine being a member of the jury and thinking to yourself “I must protect the oppressed health insurance CEO class” this is so unbelievably removed from reality. Cool to know that if you kill poor sick people en masse for a living your life is somehow valued *more*

Love a good Butler interview

It just keeps on getting better…

Insightful, though I would still stress historical context and how democracy in South Korea has always been a project with varying results, though protest continues to be, in my opinion, a unique and powerful characteristic that others can learn from—never settle, always resist

Such a common Cold War refrain used time and time again—communism and the internal North Korean threat—this time taken to an extreme that not even his embattled predecessors use such a measure www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

FWIW, I read this as a really hopeful story about how the movement for Indigenous data sovereignty has gained traction and is influencing #OpenScience for the better.

👇CFP for the SCA Biennial UNconference, Restorative Relations Here’s the starting point: does the thought of attending another academic conference elicit fatigue and burnout instead of excitement and possibility? Can it be different? This is gonna be GOOD! @culanth.bsky.social #anthrosky

Chapters are short and sweet - perfect to slip some choice queer content into your syllabi! Also hmu for pop-in class visits! You know bc we do recruit.

This is extremely cool, and even more reason why paleoanthropologists trying to understand paleoecology of our homing ancestors should pay attention to work being done by primatologists studying how closely-related primate species coexist and form polyspecific associations and such!
