It's really nice to see people doing things with this material. It's such a neat set of evidence from a period of very limited sources. invisibleeast.web.ox.ac.uk/article/format…
Just finished the Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty (@SAChakrabooks). It was utterly delightful!
Gentle reminder, as yet another bad take starts to make the rounds: People applying for PhD programmes are grown-ass adults. They are not "kids". Please stop infantilizing doctoral candidates simply because they are associated with the word "student".
We had a lovely afternoon working on Capo Ferro and Fabris. :)
This line amused me
So Zuckerberg didn’t just spent $15B and fail to get legs. He spent $15B to create a future where the mortal plane is riven by holy war, and fell short at creating legs.
Trans people are an attractive target for fascists because we're 1)socially isolated 2) easily mischaracterized and 3) violate societal norms by just existing, so movements hoping to deputize people against freedom are able to portray us as the evil of "too much" freedom

What happens in prisons does not stay in prisons. For @prismreports, I wrote about how much of what indicates the descent into fascism is already the standard for incarcerated people. Anything that's allowed behind bars can come outside of them. prismreports.org/2022/10/04/wha…
I find these repeated (I've heard of 3 now) art centered environment protests really offputting. It feels like they echo the quite conservative idea that public access art is an unneccessary waste of money and are a distraction from the issues causing climate change inaction.

Working on an essay on "rigor" in higher education, and boy howdy are there some real gems in the discourse:

PSA: One thing you can do to help aces is to stop speaking as if sexual attraction is universal. Phrases like "I mean, everyone feels sexual attraction" or "we all know what it's like to desire someone that way" are alienating and feel like you don't see us as part of your world.
@jeffmanuel Counterargument--if you go to grad school and don't know what a miasma is *already*, you're destined to spend the next 20 years fighting unfounded self-doubt and imposter syndrome, and suffer severe risk of railing against the privileges of third-generation academics.
1. Don't think of the jobs crisis in history as being a single lottery ticket in six years that you might not win. It is a miasma that suffuses every action in the profession, keeping only those who accept its toxicity in every interaction with colleagues, students, and mentors.
What do you say to prospective grad students these days who want to get a PhD in history?

I’m really not sure if you finished a PhD before c. 2008 you can really, genuinely understand what things have been like for students since then even with the best of intentions.
“Why is there a need for microlabels like demisexual or gray ace? Isn’t that just the asexuality spectrum? Why not just say you’re asexual?” Let’s talk about the asexuality spectrum and why specificity in labels under asexuality can make a difference 🧵
Do you know about Autistic burnout? Autistic burnout results from chronic life stress & a mismatch of expectations/abilities without adequate support. It’s characterised by pervasive, long-term (typically 3+ months) exhaustion, loss of function, & reduced tolerance to stimulus.

As an anthropologist, I can't believe how the well-established fact that trans people have been around for our species' entire known history doesn't blow all the anti-trans arguments out of the water. Trans people's existence is not new. It's not a fad, it's not "growing"
What if all historians treated the work of history as necessary, urgent, all-hands-on-deck work instead of an elaborate game to figure out who is smartest.

Exactly this. How often are us marginalized voices who are speaking truth to power labeled as "bullies?" It's a common tactic, not just by the right but by those who hold positions of power & want to hold on to heteropatriachy & yt supremacist hierarchies.
A thing I'm not seeing in the recent "academic bullying" Discourse is that every single person who has fought against injustice, racism, harassment, and bigotry in academia has been accused of bullying by the powerful people whose actions they're protesting.
It is completely incorrect to suggest calling for “trans ideology” to be “eliminated” or that “gender identity isn’t real” has no harmful implications for trans people in terms of access to services, public spaces, healthcare, and cultural acceptance
@njoybetz The worst feature in my experience was the ban on outside employment while doing the PhD on a stipend. Universities should allow outside work for all the reasons listed.
