The hypocrisy of so many academic organizations and universities that have remained silent when academic freedom and the right to assemble was violently repressed in the past two years yet they’re suddenly concerned about academic freedom because Trump is taking away funding.

DEI only existed because white people were racist. They had the opportunity to hire based on merit, and they hired their unqualified white friends every time.
DEI isn’t racism. It’s a solution to historical racism.
Got this survey email from American Anthro Association with questions about anthropology journals. But hey am I crazy that I can’t find ABA’ journal, Transforming Anthropology, anywhere in the survey??? Am I missing something? What’s going on?

Very much love this!
The WNBA doubled revenue from 2019 to 2023 (from $100 million to $200 million). This was before Clark and Reese arrived.

But they did not create the league.
And the league was growing before they arrived.

Since the term “hillbillies” is trending, let’s make sure we understand what’s behind these categorical names, shall we?
