Anthropologist, filmmaker, and dog owner. I don't really use twitter except to send tweets to recalcitrant companies, so e-mail me (knak@berkeley) instead.

Randomly came across @CameronSummers article on a society of solidarity. Loved it, wondering if it comes from a crip-queer perspective as it has shades of Kafer's resolution of the social model. https://t.co/co8tMIHkTt

Trump wanted a wall. Now he gets four for free!

Hey @GM - I only a Chevy Bolt 2019 but when I upgrade it’ll only be to a car with Apple CarPlay. I like my Bolt so I’m sad not to replace it with another one. Hi @Kia - nice to meet you!

@ProjectLincoln Why can’t the moderate republicans just vote for Jeffries and put McCarthy out of his misery? Sigh. Thirteen votes?

And just like that, one of the internet's great mysteries has been solved.

From John McCain to Donald Trump...

How far we have fallen.

I support the #UCU strike and eliminating the #disability wage gap. #UCL needs to stop penalizing staff by failing to meet its obligations under the Equalities Act. For instance, I need reliable step-free access to my office. #ucustrikes

If you’re going from Nondisabled to disabled please know that a majority of what you know about disability is a lie meant to serve your nondisabled self.

It will not serve you now.

Crazy how some people care more about Twitter dying than democracy dying.

Sony is blocking accessible controllers on PS5 in an attempt to prevent cheating, but literally hurting disabled players. Our lab was making accessible controllers but they won't work on PS5 because of this block.

The story of YRJ—a little Navajo girl, being raised by the white couple suing to overturn ICWA—was shared by @JanHoffmanNYT for @nytimes, @NinaTotenberg for @npr & Fox News this week. But their coverage left out some really important info. 🧵:

It's official. I will be the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania.

We bet on the people of Pennsylvania - and you didn’t let us down 

And I won’t let you down. Thank you.

Political Science Chair:
Please ask your students to quit referring to the Anthropology Department as “the bone yard.” It is triggering to their faculty.

@deviantollam Really moved by your most recent youtube https://t.co/lIhbXA4Apv -- how can we help your friend Kara? You mentioned a gofundme?

As I was getting off the plane last night, a stewardess asked what I was so excited about. I told her I'd won my election & was the first trans woman elected in Montana.

She immediately teared up. "My son is trans," she said, & began to tell me about all the joys/fears... [1/3]
