For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

Beautiful article on #autism by Prof. Richard Grinker in the @nytimes.com Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

Loving in the age of AI where I count fingers on photos to guess if they are AI generated.

Ferris did not see me up with realistic expectations for adult sick days.

Anthropologist here and I wholeheartedly support this!

I need to do the same. We are discussing chapters in lab group this week and I had to scan myself!

A friend asked a question. I sought an answer from science and found some really awful stuff in a journal that claims to be credible.

A story on chemists with #disabilities. We need this for #anthropology. #Normalize #Disability

A transcript is the only way to make video or audio content accessible to someone who is both deaf and blind. Transcripts can be converted into braille, to be read on a refreshable braille output device.

Is it just me or are the pizza-gate theorists awfully quiet in the aftermath of a pretty telling birthday book? Isn't MTG supposed to be the accountability warden on this? Did I miss something?

Capitalization affects how people read hashtags or how people hear them on screen readers. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in hashtags instead of lowercase. You could have #DoctorWhoRewatch ("Doctor Who Rewatch") or #doctorwhorewatch ("doctor whore watch.")

Anyone else on the edge of burnout in the first week of classes in a semester where you're not teaching? #afaf

Biological mathematician Martin Nowak is also listed in the birthday book...

Reminder of Thiel’s worldview: the welfare state and votes for women were bad ideas, so let’s get rid of democracy www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hey students, why join #SfAA Oral History Project Global Week? Recording your professor’s story can reveal how much anthropology happens in everyday moments, not just publications. Join students worldwide preserving voices: appliedanthro.org/oral-history-project-global-week/ #PreserveVoices

Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

you don't exactly need to consult with pizzagate experts to decipher this drawing

Here's my updated chart of #SCOTUS's rulings to date on emergency applications from the Trump administration. See if you can spot the pattern...

Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist. Read more: 🔗 on.wsj.com/4nGGdnJ

#meghanachakrabarty I love @npr.org but this show on #autism is infuriating and poor journalism. 1) MC clearly is leading convo so that people think autism is bad and poorly understood.

Help me. I have 150+ tabs open that I'm supposed to get to. What are your strategies for this? Declare bankruptcy? Toss the computer in a dumpster and light it on fire? Pull three all nighters to go through your tabs?

Heritage Foundation calls for "Manhattan Project to restore the nuclear family". There is so much wrong with this, it's hard to know where to start. But let's be clear, the nuclear family is not and has never been *the* archetype for baby making. HF should bone up. wapo.st/4p44mG3

Recently getting side eye when asking for skim milk at the coffee shop. What’s up with that?

This is my point (and Duncan’s) that this special issue is co-edited by @rebeccasear.bsky.social @drsarahmyers.bsky.social and me and an @ehbea.bsky.social initiative to support rigour in science We’re all evolutionary *to our core* and care deeply about using this knowledge to challenge hate

Vote YES on Prop 50 #Pinks

Trump’s is an authoritarian project, to be sure. But it is also very much a project motivated by a politics of white grievance, white resentment, and white identity. And this govt will use its power to assert white dominance anyway it can—from brutalizing immigrants to restoring Lee’s portrait.

It should never be easier to access a gun than a vaccine.

100 percent this. I often snark on tenure reviews that tenure is a right for adequate performance, not a privilege. When you deny tenure, you are effectively saying “you don’t belong” - create a new life for you and your loved ones.

Handwritten postcards from donation money for people who have already signed on to a cause. In what board room was this decision considered a "great idea"?

The children who survived the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday are now part of a group that numbers nearly 400,000: America’s children who have been exposed to gun violence at school.

#Disabled faculty: I am interested in developing, if this does not exist, a repository of #accommodations that have been provided. Anyone know about something like this? DM, please.

And super duper immensely excited to share that we received funding to continue conversations on the past, present, and future of evolutionary behavioral sciences! w/ @anthrofuentes.bsky.social, @rebeccasear.bsky.social, @sarahalami.bsky.social

Here and Now right now on a story of how assisted tech facilitated breakthroughs for non-speaking autistic student now enrolling into MIT. Access for all. Beautiful but grueling journey in able bodied world.

I have two highly productive and valued colleagues who recommend staying off email most of the time. I'm excited to have more time for Bluesky. ;)

@mark-moritz.bsky.social and I got some $$ to do something important soon. Exciting news for once!

@appliedanthro.bsky.social is running an oral history week for #anthropologists. This looks VERY cool. If I were teaching this semester, I'd ask my students to sign up to interview someone interesting in the field. Check it: appliedanthro.org/oral-history...

In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as “Google” once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.

This was a fun conversation on anthropology careers outside of traditional academic structures that I got to be part of earlier this year, if you're interested!

Finally got around to posting the video for our #AltAc #Career panel, facilitated by the wonderful @kristinemaassen.bsky.social for #Rutgers #Anthropology. Spent half a day trying to figure out closed captioning; turns out Youtube does it (ok-ish). Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocvv...
