Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 05/07/2025They need to be sure to show the license plates on the vehicles! None of these videos do, which squanders an opportunity for a smidgen of accountability. If they are bounty hunters, they may own the veicles. 000
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 05/07/2025They already have slavery reinstalled in the form of student loans that never end and more generally in credit card debt. Just wait until they tighten bankruptcy laws and reestablish the poor house concept, then theyʻll have labor for the farms. 010
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 05/07/2025If instructors are using AI to grade, they deserve this :) 010
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 02/07/2025And my big fear, because the sifu was like a 22nd generation master, was that studies would show it doesn't work. 000
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Oh my. I taught research methods briefly for a school of Chinese medicine that was trying to establish an accredited PhD program. I got headaches trying to figure out how to do a blind study, much less a double blind, when everything hinges on energy flows of one person as read by one physician. 110
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Excellent article, Cas. I am quite nervous about what might happen-- my latest book is subtitled "Health & mortality in a diverse world," & my academic career has revolved largely around issues of acculturation. Fortunately(?), the new book is from Cambridge, but I expect it to get banned. 🤓 000
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Theyʻre men of the people, it would seem. But you have your own crop, donʻt you. What crap, eh? 110
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 20/03/2025But itʻs a great way to get people paying attention to something besides the massive theft of federal resources and the tax breaks for zillionaires, 000
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Cambridge posted my book info on their 1584 Blog! It's about diversity in healthcare, focused on mortality. Any bets on how long before it gets banned somewhere in the US? cambridgeblog.org/.../culture-...cambridgeblog.orgCulture, healthcare, and mortality meet - Fifteen Eighty Four | Cambridge University PressThis blog celebrates publication of Facing death across cultures, a book four years in the making, begun as the pandemic first erupted. Inspiration for the book germinated two decades ago, when I was ... 120
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Awww, a student from a couple of semesters back just emailed that he bought my book. He was a really nice person-- a bit of work helping him with some anxiety issues not uncommon for "non-traditional students," those being, um, older than is typical? But he did a superb project, as I recall... 020
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 18/02/2025I would not be surprised if it gets banned in certain states, so it’s probably good the publisher is Cambridge. Note: Cambridge has kindly offered a 20% discount using the code at the bottom. 000
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 18/02/2025I’m not posting this as shameless self-promotion, but rather because the book includes demographic and statistical data no longer available on US gov websites that may be useful to friends and researchers. It discusses lifespans and healthcare utilization along with employment and income data. 210
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 10/02/2025"Every human welcome?" Itʻs Orwellian. Oh, and I have a book coming out from Cambridge that is essentially a guide to DEI in healthcare. I donʻt know whether to hope it wonʻt get banned or to take it as a badge of success if it does... 000
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Reminds me of Hopper's Nighthawks, but the Maui daybreak version... 010
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Looks like publication has been moved up to February! Itʻs getting real. Good news is that there will be paperbacks for a much more reasonable price and Cambridge sent me a press release about 20% off of preorders for the book.

Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 07/12/2024We humans have crafted words like hiraeth and saudade from our finitude. We shield ourselves as best we can from the dark abyss, but loss finds its way through our best defenses. 000
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Portugal’s coastlines sparkle with sunshine on its cresting waves and on the silvery scales of its fishermen’s catches. Eternal seafarers, the Portuguese stood at the vanguard of maritime exploration and imperialism, its sailors sent far and wide to Asia, Africa, and the Americas... 100
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 07/12/2024From my upcoming book- Wives and lovers left behind, sails of ships receding into the horizon, perhaps never to return, Portugal knows loss and longing. Like hiraeth, saudade describes the ache for homes and loves left behind or gone away, or dreams of romances that may never be. 100
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 03/12/2024I tend to see the RW immigration complaints as a tool to rile people up and garner votes. Realistically, those countries have low birthrates, ageing populations, & workforce shortages only fixable with immigration, particularly in healthcare. So it's more of a tool of voter manipulation. 000
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 01/12/2024The thermometer read "Fires of Hades," though I had taken it out early. Somehow it was quite tender and tasty, perhaps tortured into compliance. 020
Stephen Fox @drsfox.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Iʻm between writing, reviewing proofs of my new book, but teaching 7 classes and brushing off the rust in our campus chorus. And whoʻs to say that going over edges is a bad thing? 010
