It should be remembered the ADL supported the execution of the Rosenbergs and the deportation of left-wing Holocaust refugees to Poland during the second red scare. I presume this was also done in the name of “Jewish safety.”

RIP Sandra Harding...

Do not blame Musk for this political outcome in Germany. His endorsement only reveals the interconnected networks of fascists. In fact, we should consider how Germany's turn further right is connected to its racist historical past and present. But what do I know?

A coalition between CDU and AFD is an extreme, undesired event even for CDU voters. 81% of CDU voters, above the overall 70% of voters, are opposed to seeing the AFD take any form of state power. It is important to remember that.

Looks so good! #desiqueers

#DRCongo More than 700 dead and 2800 wounded in intense fighting in #Goma, since Sunday. #M23 #Rwanda www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excited to share the first interview I conducted for the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social. Niehuus' beautifully written book is very timely due to events in eastern #Congo right now. Essential to read about the ways Congolese imagine an otherwise to their present. newbooksnetwork.com/an-archive-o...

My new year's wish: gods, grant me the serenity to accept the German tenses I can never actually learn, the courage to master the grammatical genders of this convoluted language, and the wisdom to know the difference 🙏 And also, end the genocide in #gaza

Best of 2024, from @michellepitcher.bsky.social: Ivan Cantu was executed on February 28, despite a numerous advocates pleading for his life. Even the original foreperson of the jury spoke out saying he no longer believed in the conviction.

Happy for the opportunity to discuss how animality fit into German projects of extermination, esp. the Jewish holocaust but also the Nama and Herero genocide, at the Association for Jewish Studies' annual conference last week. Briefly weaved it into the ongoing genocide in #Gaza #ajs #namaandherero

Did you know 3 countries are leaving #ECOWAS? #Niger, #BurkinaFaso, & #Mali will leave and form the AES. @eabalogun.bsky.social writes that "losing 3 of its 15 member states does not spell the end of ECOWAS", drawing on research to explain this big shift: goodauthority.org/news/ecowas-...

Plz repost and tag friends who might be interested! I'm trying to make this list as expansive as possible

This is a very start of a list of queer scholars working in and/or on Germany. Honestly started this for selfish reasons to get to know ppl, but thoughts this could also help others. Let me know who I forgot, and/or of you wanna be added! #queergermany #queerscholars go.bsky.app/B1w45fL

"...only one-fifth of the Strip’s olive trees are still standing after more than a year of Israel’s onslaught. And of the 40 olive presses that operated across Gaza before the outbreak of the war, only six remain: one in the north, four in the central region, and one in the south."

This is quite amazing #transhistory #translives #transanthropology

Okay folks, I also compiled a list of environmental / multispecies anthropologists. #EnviroAnthro #AnthroSky #Anthropology It's VERY incomplete, so please let me know who I missed, or if you'd like to be added. [Or, of course, if you'd like to be removed from this list.] go.bsky.app/Hax2cvh

First post here under blueskies - looking for a #German/Hebrew (or English) #tandem partner in Berlin! My German is at a B1/B2 level, Hebrew is my first language, and I've been living in English in Texas for three years. Help me communicate with my #Germandaddies (!)

I don’t usually share such things but it was an (ironic) honor to receive the 2024 New Directions Award from the General Division of the American Anthropology Association precisely for the work that got me fired from my tenured professorship. The message? Don’t stop talking about Palestine 🍉
