I’m an anthropologist, sometimes I occupy things & such.

I see anarchism as something you do not an identity...

...so don’t call me the anarchist anthropologist

Twitter was David’s public platform and tools for practicing a new language – clear and understandable for everyone, it was a space where he made friends and enemies.

in case anyone’s curious I’m feeling much better. Just the earlier combo of Edinburgh guilt and my Kenyan-Canadian friend’s was too much

This can’t go on. I can’t do 1/10th of what ppl seem to expect & can’t psychologically handle feeling bad every single day

(…) missing Canadian thxgiving yesterday because of London bookfair, I let down her family now I’m running in rain to come make up for it

First the organizers in Edinburgh keep announcing my event so everyone hates me; then friend Liz calls to blast me for missing (…)

Ok this is becoming impossible. The one day I _might_ have had free in months – what do I get? Double wall of guilt trips

I think I also have like 6 email interviews I either haven’t started or haven’t finished

Sun 28 Oct 2012 13:14

Of course I’ll probably spend the whole day going thru that backlog 80 emails I intended to answer and haven’t gotten to

Sun 28 Oct 2012 13:13

Today is first day in months I actually have free, but at expense of feeling like a cad for missing Edinburgh. Sorry guys.

Returning briefly to NYC on Wednesday night. Or thought I was. Seems my tickets to Newark will place me in the middle of a hurricane

The world revolutions of 1917 and 1968, as Wallerstein terms them, were each surrounded by a burst of creative social theory

A university has always been in principle at least an autonomous self-governing community of scholars. I’d love to have worked in one.

Allow me to remark the Pulse Gym @ Goldsmiths = the most unhygienic space ever. Every time I work out & don’t disinfect entirely, I get sick

I cannot deny having a fantasy of putting a trampoline or bouncy castle and reenacting the event

Off to Robert Graves event at Hammersmith, 1:30 pm. Niall McDevitt found the house where he & Laura Riding did their famous jump

Oh well I missed Ed Milliband getting booed for saying “tough choices” (ie I’ll cut your pensions anyway)

Is there a TUC strategy? Apparently to use threat of possibly backing 24-hour general strike to move Labour slightly to the left.
