In Uganda, I met people who went from earning $200 a month doing HIV prevention to just $60 because USAID went away—and who are still doing the work for a fraction of the pay. I met ppl who lost their jobs entirely and stiil do HIV work for free for food. Meanwhile theintercept.com/2026/02/09/t...

HBO’s Watchmen series was both an incredible exploration of America’s racist past (the Tulsa race massacre) and a very prescient depiction of its white supremacist re-entrenchment future. Certainly worth a watch.
I beg us not to lose sight of the role queerphobia played along with misogyny. Becca Good’s tone in interacting with Ross was just like her late wife’s: calm yet lightly mocking; neither scared nor deferential; and because of that deeply, deeply subversive. katemanne.substack.com/p/renee-good...

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.
This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

The NSF Bio Anthro Program DDRIG, Cultural Anthrpology DDRIG, and Archaeology DDRIG have all been archived (as of yesterday afternoon). Please speak with your grad students and plan accordingly. To say I am angry and depressed about this is an understatement.
