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 the first case, she pretended that I was somehow responsible for a student petition that I had merely signed after 80 other scholars had already; in the second, she pretended I’d started a public campaign to denounce someone for sexual harassment … 3/

twice now, Claire Lehm*nn has written hit pieces intended to smear me. Each time, the attack was framed around an obvious initial falsehood, carefully & self-consciously designed to mislead but not actually fall under the libel laws 2/

so one thing I’ve learned from the Qui*lette idiocy is that fascists are very boring. I’ve been trying to think of something interesting to take away from all this. I do have one thought in this regard. 1/

December 2018 was right around the time that .@Haujournal was favouriting the end-of-year statement by Qui*lette – even though both sides are now either asserting or intimating that they never had contact with one another

it strikes me as all the more significant since I know that Qui*lette was already about to run the story in December 2018, and was presumably coordinating with GdC at the time (the article contains private material only GdC had access to)

interesting that the line that Qui*lette is pursuing – trying to pretend #hautalk was a sexual harassment issue & relating it to #MeToo – was exactly the strategy pursued by HAU itself, who kept trying to divert the convo to sexual harassment & even ran a special issue on MeToo

In a strange way, it makes me happy to know I now live in a country where there are government officials who must only be referred to as Black Rod. https://t.co/Z52Afz0aAU

yes but how many other people agree with Enzo that that’s a really cool coat? I was really happy when I found it at my favourite used clothing shop. https://t.co/xCMSZVZGZD

Score so far: likes for my tweet announcing my piece & saying it had apparently been censored by the MSM: 2.8k Likes for tweet denouncing me & declaring me paranoid for thinking it was censored: 28 likes. So I got literally a hundred times the approval

hello, lovely twitter friends. So can I ask a favour? I need to work on a long complicated chapter about social organisation & possible forms of property ownership in the Mesolithic. Can you guys deal with any obvious falsehoods the trolls put up about my piece today?

Funny, none of the regular “Corbyn is AS there’s no question about it” crowd showed up for the 2 days my piece was out, then, c. 9 AM on Monday morning, working week begins, suddenly about 20 of them appear all at the same time. Now what exactly do we make of that?

weirdest responses I’ve got so far to my article: those insisting the (Christian) far right in Europe never attack Jewish people. Aside from being untrue, huh? You’re SERIOUSLY telling me “how can you say the rise of Nazi parties in Germany is any sort of threat to Jews?”

it’s interesting the (lack of) reaction: we’re getting thousands of retweets – and presumably, shares on FB, tho TBH I don’t actually know anything about FB – but zero attention in the non-activist media. They will continue to act as if such opinions do not exist. https://t.co/yDqJRR5wXP

one aspect of British political life which makes it far superior to the US, is the tacit rule that public figures can occasionally say what they actually think provided they dress it up in entertainingly colourful language: https://t.co/P8xBijXZuB

Sir Nicholas Soames on Rees-Mogg: “”He is an absolute fraud, he is a living example of what a moderately cut double-breasted suit & a decent tie can do with an ultra-posh voice and a bit of ginger stuck up his arse.” https://t.co/zscKGkb4En

it took me two months of trying to get this out anywhere at all. The level of censorship in the British media on this subject is beyond imagination. Jewish people are simply not allowed to say certain things in the UK today and this is chief among them: https://t.co/nO7G9TV0O2
