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.

odd so many people are saying I’m just recycling arguments that superheroes are fascists when I say, for example, “They aren’t fascists.”

In the original there was a whole argument about Black Bloc imagery that the editor decided to chop out

anyone want to host a site where I can put up the original version? (the editor cut 1/3 of it out) – http://t.co/LQJ6q3yC

Batman piece out. NI changed the title, for some reason, to “super position.” Not sure why. http://t.co/LQJ6q3yC

Would it be possible to be a scholar, to teach, and to still have things like dental care, outside academia? If it were I’d jump

Seriously considering quitting academia… I really think academia is becoming downright anti-intellectual

Here I am by the castle at Ferrara. Just learned they have 5 interviews lined up for me in next 6 hours. Then I give a talk. Sigh

I ran into a guy in London who claims to be descended from Ranavalona I. Is this possible? I don’t remember if Radama II had any children

I am off to Italy for the Internazionale festival in Ferrara. The first of way too many events I’ve agreed to do this fall.

I had this sudden terrible image of putting a trampoline at the bottom and us all jumping out one by one and bouncing off it

Thu 27 Sep 2012 00:28

also I presumed the lower window would be pretty safe to jump from, since Graves wasn’t injured at all. Hmm, the possibilities…

Thu 27 Sep 2012 00:28

turns out the building where Graves & Laura Riding threw themselves from windows is still there – wonder if it’s landmarked

Thu 27 Sep 2012 00:23

former was especially strange as Niall MacDevitt (the poet) who was also there had interested me in a Robert Graves event in Hammersmith

Thu 27 Sep 2012 00:18

turns out there was one descendant of Robert Graves’ first wife Nancy Nicholson there, and one descendant of Malagasy royalty

I estimate the Goldsmiths coffee shop must give several thou coffee receipts a day. Every single one is immediately thrown out

Tue 25 Sep 2012 13:17

I wonder how many trees have died because there’s some law that I must be handed a slip of paper every time I buy a coffee or whatever

I’m sitting on a slow-moving bus in south London feeling depressed I’m not in NYC. Good luck everyone! Stay safe!
