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.

yet how much are you willing to bet that the total intelligence resources the US gov’t devotes to spying on left-wing radicals is substantially more than right-wing ones? Definitely true in UK, where police tried to infiltrate 50+ left groups & exactly 3 right-wing ones

article pointing out # of people killed in US by right-wing extremists is much greater than by Islamic extremists (also, incidentally, right wing.) Unmentioned: # of people killed by left-wing extremists such as myself continues to hover around zero https://t.co/whOyL7LMeR

this is what I want to know: why is this girl’s life less important than that of Jamal Kashoggi? If it’s not okay for the Saudi govt to just arbitrarily murder a reporter, why is it completely unremarkable & unimportant that the Turkish govt just murdered a little girl? https://t.co/2uxJLsG1mN

needless to say if you receive a mysterious email from a company called Salesforce with what seems like a fake university logo pasted in on top asking for your password, how are you likely to react?

LSE appears to have outsourced the processing of applications to our dept to some company called “Salesforce” that keeps sending me emails urging me to complete a process of changing passwords that I never in fact started.

life of a teacher: woke up Saturday morning, made coffee, tried to figure out how to access MSc applications on new digital system. Failed. Tried to access student essays on moodle. Failed. Filled out required promotion docs despite already being full professor. 4 hrs later …

as far as I can make out I am not being followed by the Army or Ministry of Health in any other country in the world, just Colombia. Why might this be? I have never been there or written about the country.

why Colombia? no idea. Then I went to Researchgate for similar purposes, to look up citations & the like… and lo and behold, here’s who’s been reading my work this week: https://t.co/VkKLRPM0uw

so I had to look through my twitter followers for some British Impact Survey & I noticed something #odd: I have a huge institutional following in Colombia. Not just the left-wing presidential candidate, but, the Colombian army’s twitter account follows me. And many ministries!

new figures on Yemen reveal 56k humans directly killed, & that’s not even counting those lost to the man-made famine created by the blockade (enforced by US, UK, forces as well as Saudi.) This is a war crime of the ages & the UK is directly involved. https://t.co/NkO7XyywsN

it makes total sense, because centrists tend to be basically professional-managerial elitists & think technocrats should be running everything. Basically they think most people are stupid.

this is a very important piece & confirms suspicions I’ve always had: Blairites, Clintonites, moderate Republicans, these are people most hostile to democracy and civil liberties. https://t.co/6IM7OaBKG5

my first thought about Brazil: most people are angry. Who can blame them? They want someone to do something radical. Very radical. Most would prefer a left-wing radical but they know now left wing radicals won’t be allowed to do radical things. Right wing radicals are though.

opening fire on farmers working the fields, etc, is terrorism & a war crime by any definition. My Q: is there a way for Rojava’s self-administration to take this to the ICC or does the fact that Rojava isn’t a state mean its people have no rights not to be murdered? https://t.co/2eG2nCbVlA

Events of the last day have given me a rare sense of actual physical anxiety. There are people out there who want folk like us dead. (https://t.co/xMbaT27BlM) Can the .@margarethodge’s of the world PLEASE stop the cynical instrumentalising now because it’s endangering everyone

Funny because you will search in vain for me randomly insulting or smearing the characters of colleagues I don’t otherwise know or interact with for no particular reason, on my twitter feed. So if I’m a “massive asshole” despite that, what does that make this guy? https://t.co/epJymJyN8Y
