Well met! I'm an anthropologist (PhD)! My ethnographic research is on Hindu/Buddhist pilgrimage and sacred fossils (called Shaligrams) in the Himalayas of Nepal. My new project focuses on robot religion in South Asia. I also wrote "The Way By." CV: peregrinationblog.com

Aditya Adhikari's 2014 book The Bullet and the Ballot Box was reviewed in the journal Studies in Nepali History and Society @SINHAS_journal by Ang Sanu Lama in 2015. You can read the full text of that review here: martinchautari.org.np/storag…

On the one hand, I have a degree in archaeology and really want to see this new 4,700 year old shipwreck. On the other hand, I have SCUBA certification as an underwater lionfish hunter. I am deeply conflicted by this photo.

Given the kinds of comments I keep seeing on this monologue, let me add an anthropologist's two cents. First of all, humor is contextual.

Tl;dr What you wear is not an excuse to dehumanize you. Not even "for laughs."
