We happen to have a copy at Brooks Hall in UVA and wouldn't you know it's autographed

I wish we had more time to read old stuff in grad school. Cracked this open over fall break and it was really revelatory for understanding ethnomethodology's historical development

@ethnopoetics Ugh thank @ethnopoetics you always have the best book reccs. I devoured Fernandez's Beyond Metaphor this last summer.

Eliciting y'all's ideas on a group project for my digital humanities course. We have to teach one class session and I got digital ethnography ... so far I want people to read this and especially Coleman's annual review article https://t.co/Rckjs93mE0

Today, we honored the legacy of David Sapir, an esteemed professor who left an indelible mark on our department. Colleagues and students gathered on Brooks Hall’s first floor to celebrate his life and work. His influence will be felt for generations to come. 🕊️ #Anthropology

I think it is more politically useful to “us” to understand why people *didn’t* vote for democrats rather than why some did vote for Trump.

…it rhymes with smite smupremacy…

[fuck “latinidad” @ytnessisdeath]

This country is too racist and reactionary to elect a woman of color tbh. Idk why anyone thought differently. It was never gonna happen

Read this last night and I have to say it was quite nice.

Listening to Gender Trouble on audiobook and I have never been more disconnected from reality while I walk from class to class

@JournalLingAnth Another anti-essentialist reminder that the self is an illusion. Take that anti-"postmodernists"

[John Dusty Rovin @JohnDRovin]

@ethnopoetics Wow 😢 the things people say about cartoon characters ...

[John Dusty Rovin @JohnDRovin]

Well y'all it's finally happening... 🤦🏽‍♂️ am incorporating meta pragmatic into my dissertation research proposal

[John Dusty Rovin @JohnDRovin]

Did a little fermenting yesterday which was fun. These are water kefir grains or "tibicos" grains. Didnt put any flavorings in it to keep things simple but I'm looking forward to trying the final product after it sits in the fridge a little.

At 2PM I'll be live-tweeting from today's UVa Faculty Senate meeting where they'll be discussing anti-protest policies the administration is attempting to push through.
