@DrFlachsophone Wooooowwwww. This is fascinating.

Asylum seekers in US now ordered to bring their own interpreter, or have their case dismissed. Incredible stupidity: self-selected interpreters obviously not the best recipe for integrity of system. And also illegal: see Art 25 of Refugee Convention.

@rahallclifford Ha!!

@HannoBrankamp @miss_mumbz1 @mwende_kyalo_ Gross but not surprising. Kakuma is a hot bed for NGOs to do whatever the hell they want in the name of ‘saving refugees’.

@Anthrofuentes @KabwePRQ @HollyDunsworth @AmericanAnthro How much of this might be influenced by the financial standing of the org? Needing funds and accepting every panel to increase conference attendance and therefore membership rates.

@EmmaLouiseBacke Also, post the salary. Don’t make me do a day or more of work for an unknown salary range that is likely to be well below reasonable.

@11thThesis Are they still ‘good friends’ if they are transphobic? I have a lot of trouble maintaining friendships with bigots.

@drdanaaindavis None of this is new. This has been a staple lesson of a few of my classes for years. But old myths die hard.

@ratnagiri77 It’s like running through a cancer fundraiser yelling ‘there are other diseases too!’

Like, yeah, but we are focusing on this one now and if you want to focus on something else, that’s great and we will support that too.

[anthroboycott @anthroboycott]

We continue to be committed to addressing AAA members' concerns about the #AnthroBoycott resolution so they can be as informed as possible when casting their ballots

Concern: “Yes I oppose Israel’s actions, but isn’t this boycott unbalanced since both sides have done wrong?” 🧵

@ratnagiri77 I cannot wait for this vote to be over because I am so tired of the disingenuous and outright cruel rhetoric on communities. The loudest voices are also the most asinine.

@JuliaAKing01 @SAPIENS_org Hands down one of the best movies ever.

[Elizabeth Wirtz 🌈🩼🥨🧀🤦🏼‍♀️ @anthrocurious]

@Lady__Catherine @AnnaleishaMae A valid question for which there are entire books written detailing the answers.

[Elizabeth Wirtz 🌈🩼🥨🧀🤦🏼‍♀️ @anthrocurious]

Fellow anthropologists who are members of the AAA. Voting is officially open - Don't forget to vote YES to adopt the Resolution to Boycott Israeli Academic Institutions!!

[Elizabeth Wirtz 🌈🩼🥨🧀🤦🏼‍♀️ @anthrocurious]

@ajfaas Congratulations!

[Elizabeth Wirtz 🌈🩼🥨🧀🤦🏼‍♀️ @anthrocurious]

@stephlreeves Any upcoming positions for more qual focused folks?

[DAWN Feminist @DAWNfeminist]

Which words are you sick of listening but you still can't quite grasp what they actually mean? 🔠

@felixundstein @KStoreng & @AdeBengyP from @sum_io pulled together an actual bingo on the @bmj_latest to call on the #GlobalHealth nonsense discourse proliferating.
