Handmade flier with pink, yellow, green and yellow-green figures (all with clearly non-AI fingers) reading the book covers (but the figures are also drawn as if their bodies are the book covers) of the 4 books featured at the party. The flier includes the text that is repeated in the post.

I’ve recently discovered my local library. We may be a small city library but it feels *so* good to walk in and see familiar anthro texts on the shelves. If you have published a book within the last 12 months (library rules), let me know and I will make it my mission to see that it’s acquired! ✨

Unrestricted Citizenship by birth on our soil separates the United States from most other countries outside of our hemisphere. Emancipated people pushed for this because African-descended people whose ancestors were forced here for labor were not considered citizens of the country of their birth

All that the media repeats are phrases that relate California’s wildfires to a “war zone.” The ironies are heartbreaking. From G*za to California, climate and development are at the crux of suffering and devastation. Today I feel a profound sense of loss, defeat and hopelessness.

“Since 1993 almost half of California’s new homes have been built in fire hazard areas. Yet, as a contemporary Galileo might say of defensible space, ‘still it burns.’“

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

If you're like me & are currently finalizing your syllabus, you should add this book to your course. Really. #AnthroSky #STSSky #MedAnthro My students & I had the opportunity to read a final draft, and it’s SO GOOD! It sparked thoughtful, thought-provoking conversations. Plus, it’s open access!

About the Book
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more.

Mal-Nutrition documents how maternal health interventions in Guatemala are complicit in reproducing poverty. Policy makers speak about how a critical window of biological growth around the time of pregnancy—called the "first 1,000 days of life"—determines health and wealth across the life course. They argue that fetal development is the key to global development. In this thought-provoking and timely book, Emily Yates-Doerr shows that the control of mothering is a paradigmatic technique of American violence that serves to control the reproduction of privilege and power. She illustrates the efforts of Guatemalan scientists, midwives, and mothers to counter the harms of such mal-nutrition. Their powerful stories offer a window into a form of nutrition science and policy that encourages collective nourishment and fosters reproductive cycles in which women, children, and their entire communities can flourish.

This confirms worries that the new Trump admin might empower the corrupt forces opposed to #Guatemala’s elected president. The Florida Republican Party has invited the attorney-general, currently banned from entering the US due to “significant corruption,” to attend inaugural events:

In the genocide trial in #Guatemala against Benedicto Lucas García, expected to end three weeks ago, the defense has attempted to recuse the court to delay sentencing. A judge is now on medical leave and AG Consuelo Porras removed five prosecutors from the case. elfaro.net/en/202411/ce...
