PET HER GODDAMMIT
This person is committing a crime against all the good in this world.
im going to start a false crime podcast where i explain crimes that never actually happened
iām going to do the crimes you explain, forcing you into having a true crime podcast
when hamsters are born they see a silver thread that connects them to their gruesome and peculiar death and they follow it like soldiers marching to war.
wait wait wait i have literally the best picture ever of my cat, bob

she knocked that smug look off my face but luckily i was wearing a second, smaller smug look underneath
This post is so incredibly dumb and everytime I come across it I just canāt help but laugh. This site is just magical. Where else will you get this nonsense?
international friends: hereās the deal. South African scientists have been tracking the COVID genomeĀ and keeping an eye out for mutations. Most places in the world arenāt doing so. When we announce a new variant, itās not necessarily fromĀ South Africa, we just publicised the fact that we detected it here. And yet, because weāre a country in the Global South, it doesnāt matter that our scientists are incredible and are doing the world a service by tracking and reporting these things, because our ordinary citizens are being blacklistedĀ because of it and being prevented from entering other countries and placed on red lists for no reasonĀ
For those who arenāt aware, this is exactly how the Spanish Flu came to be named the Spanish Flu. It didnāt originate in Spain. Spain was just the first country to acknowledge there was a global fucking pandemic and do something about it.
Btw Iām pro-quitting.Ā This is a quitting-positive space.Ā If youāre doing something and you decide āI donāt like thisā or āI donāt want to do thisā then you should quit.Ā Quitting is awesome.Ā Grinding only works in video james.
I quit all the time.Ā Itās great.
Embrace the power of āYāknow what? Fuck thisā and see how it can improve your life
Ice delivery man in Houston, TX circa 1920 Check this blog!
why did he eat thisĀ
#the hip pop⦠the cigarettes in the hatā¦#how many kids from pre-electric refrigeration look suspiciously like this guy I wonderā¦#POV: You are a bored housewife whose husband is constantly away on business trips and barely looks at you when he gets home#and this guy is rolling up to your house on like a weekly basis with a block of ice and his WWI thousand yard stare
Historian finishing a dissertation on the ice industry here. For once, I am not here to take away your joy!Ā āOh no, the ice man is too sexy and heās going to fuck my wife while Iām not homeā was a legit moral panic for DECADES. So much so that if you were fancy, you could get an icebox built into your wall so the dirty, sexy ice man didnāt have to come inside your house with your delicate, impressionable wife.Ā This pic is going in the diss if I can chase down the correct citation for it.
Instead of requiring my henchmen to wear matching uniforms, I allow each of them to design their own costume and encourage them all to develop their own unique battle techniques, making each henchperson a minor villain in their own right rather than simply one of a horde

so proud of my organs for unionizing. would be great if it wasn't against me but you can't win them all i guess.
what is the brain but the landlord of the organs
invite Her in
Thereās been another murder on academic Twitter.
PSA: Bioarchaeologists hate this woman and her book too.Ā
Any bioarch/osteology program worth its salt has lengthy discussions of ethics early on and plenty of discussion of the importance of NAGPRA and the various Ā equivalents around the world (itās kind of different in Europe because theyāre our dead and land for reburial is expensive and very limited and the relevant laws here reflect that difference).
When Repatriation and Erasing the Past came out the main bioarchaeology association in the UK wrote a letter to the publisher soundly condemning the book and stating that the entire british field was appalled such an abhorrent book full of āout-dated colonial perspectivesā had been published. The publisher did apologise and take various actions, including a donation to the Association on American Indian Affairs, but unfortunatelyĀ didnāt remove the book from publication.
Weiss has stuck to her guns consistently and been shouted down/caused fury at conferences, including one of the main anthopology conferences in the US, because of it.
As a side note, posting remains on social media is also generally considered a Bad Idea/ethically dubious and her twitter is full of that, not just her icon. If she was a student at my department and posted those pictures the lecturers would rip her a new one.
TLDR: almost all anthropologists/bioarchaeologists are just as horrified by this woman as everyone else.
Edit: Just went to see how bad her blog was and she keeps getting worse. According to her the fact that thereās evidence of pre-contact slavery and mistreatment of captives in the Americas is something we need to talk about more because that somehow justifies her being racist? jfc
She also claims that medieval Londoners were just as exploited and marginalised as Native Americans, which is wrong and ridiculous on so many levels that I donāt even know where to begin.
Pretty sure sheās published at least one paper with her ex-husband thatās basically phrenology. (Phrenology, for those who donāt know, is looking at the shape of the skull and using that to make claims about peopleās intelligence, personality, etc. Itās pseudo-scientific nonsense, obviously. When it was first invented people were interested in using it to figure out if someone was likely to be a murderer. To the surprise of literally no one ever, once it hit America it became all about being profoundly racist instead). Their paper was āremember that bullshit about intrinsic racial IQ differences? Well we measured some skulls (and some kneecaps. I shit you not.) and weāre pretty sure the bullshit racist idea is right!
There are some incredibly shitty people in academia - itās not the liberal haven some like to make it out to be - but every now and then thereās still someone that makes me go āokay but HOW do they still have a job??ā
God I hope this woman gets super cursed and haunted
Whatās so awful and hope-eroding about the pandemic at this point is how consistently the value of life is cheapened before our eyes. The number of deaths go up. We are appalled and scared. The number of deaths go down, we talk about the economy. Hospital wards are full to bursting. The number of deaths go up. That number isnāt as scary as it was. We can get through that. The number goes down. Itās not zero. Itās hundreds and thousands, but itās less than before and there are profits to be made. The number goes up. Weāve seen worse. The numbers go by. We donāt blink an eye anymore. Theyāre just numbers. The profits go up and the deaths go up and itās business as usual. People are dying. People are always dying. It doesnāt make your stomach drop anymore. The number goes down. The economy goes down. Add another covid booster shot, make the numbers go the right way. My neighbor gets evicted because he canāt work anymore due to Covid side effects. Make him a number. People live out of their cars. But they didnāt die, donāt count them. Restaurants are open. Shops are open. People are dying. Itās not scary anymore. 526 Covid deaths yesterday. Thatās not so bad. This is normal. Itās all numbers. 4.5 million dead around the world. How many is that? Is that a lot? I donāt know anymore. I feel sick.
