I'm checking out Bluesky as part of my social media grieving process, recognizing all the ways these platforms have fractalized & imploded any sense of community they once promised. May we mourn & dream of new ways to connect online. See you there? travelfarnow.bsky.social

@PriyamvadaGopal Silence here doesn’t always mean silence everywhere.

I do have a question for many of my academic & writer friends on here. How have you been watching all this for the last 1.5 years & counting, & just remained utterly silent except for promoting your books/appearances/blogs? How do you do it? It can't be that you don't see.

As the @SAPIENS_org editorial team considers new relationships with social media, we're heading over to Bluesky to expand our horizons. Join us! #digitalmedia #connection #community #sapiens #anthropology

Wonderful to see anthropologist & writer Kirsten Bell’s fascinating essay on laughter for @SAPIENS_org, featured via @Longreads! Such a great read, check it out! #laughter #essay #anthropology
