Shit Anthros Say

Anthropologists say some funny stuff when taken out of context. Sometimes even in context.

A thousand US anthropologists just gasped and realized they're finally the ones stuck without phone data while at #AAACASCA

Thousands of people in scarves and glasses suddenly walking around Vancouver, baffling the locals with their incomprehensible talk of "attunement" and "potentiality" #AAACASCA

just once id like to see an archaeologist speak truth on one of the mummys he found. "He looks like someone knocked the shit out of him"

Finally, my two favourite things combined: anthropology and drag!

Vote like the existence of academia depends on it

Overheard at the Smithsonian today:
"I don't get it. A mummy is just a wad a tissue paper. Whats the big deal?"
The guy at the Fossil Lab stops. Looks up. Shakes head. Looks down again at the mummy he's working on.

@Manigarm I'd love to read it!

[Shit Anthros Say @ShitAnthrosSay]

There is a serious lack of humour in anthropological writing and teaching, which is a missed opportunity to get points across using a timeless method of connecting, sharing, learning and critiquing.

Make and share more jokes, anthros. Just punch up when you do. https://t.co/WyoCLjD8PH

Unpopular opinions: anthropology edition. Let's hear it!

Are there things you wish you could say in/about our discipline, but fear professional consequences?

@SAPIENS_org This is an interesting and thoughtful article but it's way more entertaining if you read this framing as just being aggressively skeptical 😆

There's no better birthday gift for Marx than to still be upsetting fascist pseudointellectuals from the grave 😍 https://t.co/lGaqKkUZQo

Absolutely unbelievable. After the death of a hundred million, and the cold war, this still constitutes a viable opinion... https://t.co/tfVUJCLjjW
