this conception of what constitutes a nation is inherently toxic and necessarily leaves the door open for the growth and development of the border fascism we now find ourselves suffering through
Trump's re-election campaign is going to be running favorable quotes from ... [checks notes] ... Senator Bernie Sanders.
yes! Specifically, it leaves us vulnerable to the strategy devised by fascist Carl Schmitt: find the edges, gaps, and voids in a society where the rule of law doesn’t run and “us” becomes “them,” then *push them inwards*, until these places of exception become the norm and the rule of law is dead. 🧵

The Wilderness Act defines wilderness as “where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.”
The construction of such places in North America, was a deliberate political project. Man’s been trammeling this continent for millennia!

I have yet to meet anyone who knows Absolutely Fabulous who isn’t a) gay or b) a woman over the age of 45, but thankfully I am an archaeologist and therefore people catch my references more often than you might think. A Good Show
Absolutely Fabulous really is an amazing TV show. watching it feels like an out of body hangover experience. keeping track of what actually happens in an episode other than 'patsy and edina smoke, drink' ranges from difficult to impossible. it kicks ass.

ICYMI: I wrote about what it's like to have gotten my autism diagnosis, fallen in love and built a life during a time roughly concurrent with our evolving understanding of autism, and what it means to stand firm in that knowledge and self-determination in a time when the state seeks to tear it down

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

I think this is the… second(?) time that ASAN and Autism Speaks have co-signed a statement about RFK Jr’s bullshit, which is confirmation that we are in the end times and should be expecting angels with weird magic blood bowls any day now.
WOW! Autism Society of America, The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, the Autism Science Foundation, the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network and Autism Speaks put out a statement denouncing the CDC changing its website on vaccines

The Simpsons is gendered, Season 6 of Grey’s Anatomy is gendered LaRoucheite dreck, Slavic books are gendered, erotica is generally gendered, standpoint theory is gendered. Masscult under Assadism is inherently gendered. Sorry to spoil your 'fun'.

I am fucking sorry, but are you telling me the goddamn GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF VIRGINIA doesn’t have *subpoena power*? That the escalation ladder for the oldest continually operating representative assembly in this *hemisphere* goes from “say please” to “*file a FOIA request*”, end of list?!?
Virginia lawmakers and University of Virginia faculty are raising alarm bells about ongoing patterns of secrecy and lack of transparency surrounding former UVA President Jim Ryan's resignation in June.

This is *fantastic* and exactly my shit. Archaeology and tabletop go so beautifully together in a host of ways. This’ll be on my holiday wishlist for sure.
The Picts were always more than their blue-painted, bloodthirsty depictions. Carved in Stone, a new setting guide from @stoutstoat.co.uk and archaeologist Heather Christie, invites players to explore their incomplete but beautiful history.
Carved in Stone is both a history book and an eye-catching RPG
Publisher Brian Tyrrell and archeologist Heather Christie paint a pretty Pict-ure.
