Still one of the best academic diagrams.

A figure holding a pig, hands said pig off to another figure "Please have this pig", the first figure says. "Thanks," says the second.

Another book finished as prep for a new course! I read Duana Fullwiley's "Tabula Raza: Mapping Race and Human Diversity in American Genome Science" A tiny book review:

The cover of Duana Fullwiley's book "Tabula Raza: Mapping Race and Human Diversity in American Genome Science". The cover depicts the silhouette of a Black woman. Overlaid on top of the silhouette are rows of colored bars, depicting the result of some genetic test.

As part of prep for a new course, I read Elizabeth D. Jones's "Ancient DNA: The Making of a Celebrity Science." A tiny book review. 1/6

The cover of a book, "Ancient DNA: The Making of a Celebrity Science" by Elizabeth D. Jones. Below the title, a cardboard model of a dinosaur skeleton looks to be walking off the cover, leaving only its hind legs, spine, and tail visible.

I know what I'm thankful for this week: critical studies of genetics and genomics.

A stack of three books: Jones's "Ancient DNA", Richardson's "The Maternal Imprint", and Fullwiley's "Tabula Raza".

My article "Cultural Ecology in the Court" has just been published in a special issue of the Journal of Social Ontology. I am immensely proud of it. Here is what it looks like, with a short synopsis of what it argues. journalofsocialontology.org/index.php/js...

Meme image of Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard with his head in his hand, perhaps experiencing disbelief at the stupidity of what was just said.

Just a short expression of joy and wonder at the beauty of a lime leaf--now indoors for the winter.

A photograph of a Makrut Lime Tree leaf, illuminated from behind, showing a dappled distribution of lighter and darker greens, almost like a green starry sky.

Now, environmental ethicists don't need any reminding of the ways the free market can be debasing. But if *you* want a reminder, I very much recommend "Venomous Lumpsucker" by Ned Beauman. A heart-wrenching, hilarious, terrifying piece of fiction on extinction, AI, commodification, and the future.

I buy fewer and fewer books these days—but I am delighted to have snaffled this new one from the excellent Sebastián Gil-Riaño.
