PhD student in Anthropology and Folklore at the U of O. I like to think about queer folklife. Still learning how to mediate the social on Twitter.

Just sitting here @ #afsam22 listening to brilliant papers and wondering how can we create alternative, equitable models of publishing so that these papers can have permanent, accessible homes.

and also they won't rent to you if you can't move in immediately, but it's ok if the unit sits vacant while they're on vacation.

[Molly McBride @guurg23]

ok so like a funny thing about landlords is like, they'll charge you for paying rent a day late, but won't cash your check for two weeks. and they drive teslas.

@afsfolklorists Wonderful! Glad AFS is supporting grad students and their right to strike!

[Molly McBride @guurg23]

@afsfolklorists this is just the monday content we need from @folklore_uo grad student @Yossdne

[Yossdne @Yossdne]

This is a thread of Tunisian folk songs where people are getting stood-up. I will keep feeding it whenever my memory serves me and you guys are welcome to help enlighten the public about this toxic pattern in Tunisian society.

What is surveillance capitalism, how does it harm us, and what can we do to stop it? Join @doctorow, @tsnvaa, @KhalidPalexand, @Pedroconsafos Apr 14th for a panel to explore the implications of surveillance capitalism in the border region and beyond. https://t.co/gHek524x40

ok that's it. #OurFlagMeansDeath is a better romance story than #Bridgerton. in terms of all the traditional elements of the romance genre, Our Flag Means Death trumps Bridgerton. sorry not sorry.

Would love to hear suggestions like this for Folklore. #askafolklorist @afsfolklorists honestly, as a reader it seems like New Directions has the best track record for working with first time authors, but idk.

[Lab of Spec still masking! @LabSpecEth]

We love working with first time authors at American Anthropologist as well! What other journals are especially supportive of and welcoming to newer authors?

@stwajda And it’s a shame that his abuse of power overshadows the actual good work of museum employees and collaborators

[Molly McBride @guurg23]

@stwajda Apparently he’s only an ally when it benefits him (list of awards from his website below)

[Molly McBride @guurg23]

@MeTooFieldwork Same with the scholars who signed the Chronicle letter! People who have furthered their career from their work with survivors.

[Molly McBride @guurg23]

@jazzydomenique Right?! Scholars who have also claimed previously to be allies of survivors and furthered their career from projects with survivors. It’s so transparent.

[Zora's Daughters Podcast @Zoras_Daughters]

Should we do a follow up to the episode where we discussed the harassment at Harvard?

The shift from whisper network to institutional protection network is typical af and is why anthro won't burn - it contains/sustains too many identities & livelihoods.

just thinking about how I’d like to go to @uolibraries or @UOCraftCenter but I don’t feel safe going to campus if I don’t know what the daily COVID cases are on campus. So horrible that @uoregon stopped publishing this data. at least @GTFF_3544 is fighting for a safe community🙏

It’s not that I 👀 procrastinated 👀 on my @goodreads 2021 reading challenge, it’s just that I want to spend NYE frantically trying to finish a book.
