2nd, that they can't ask the Kuikuro how long their people have been doing this. Lol. 3rd, that this is good to know because it could Save Us All from climate change. The Indigenous people as savior of Western civilization or "humanity" trope is wild.

The ASSUMPTIONS in this kind of research. 1st, that dark soil is "mysterious patches" of fertile soil that for years was assumed a geologic process (assuming Indigenous ppl only just poke seeds in ground & hope - not that they work, experiment, and build relation w/ the soil).

Indigenous people may have created the Amazon’s ‘dark earth’ on purpose But a slew of archeological finds in recent decades — including the discovery of ancient urban centers in Amazonian areas of modern-day Bolivia — has revealed that people were sciencenews.org/article/indige

New York State continues to be hostile to Native tribes and concerns, as Gov. Hochul vetoes legislation to protect Indigenous burial sites. This makes NY just one of three states that still does not provide this protection. hyperallergic.com/791322/native-

What is happening in Florida, as reported by
@propublica
, is state-sponsored censorship and it is wrong. Our universities, students and national discourse benefit when we are free to teach and learn about racism and anti-racist ideas like CRT.

Muzzled by DeSantis, Critical Race Theory Professors Cancel Courses or Modify Their Teaching
As fewer faculty members are protected by tenure, they’re finding it harder to resist laws that ban certain racial topics. Their students suffer the consequences.

I haven't had conventional fast food in 18 years. But this 37-week-old fetus is making DEMANDS. I want nuggies with the corn syrup sauce and a basic burger and fries. Where should I go?

For a friend: a fresh PhD is applying for non-ac jobs. Has 1 great reference call, a 2nd (her PI) a bad/mediocre reference. This PhD had a HUGE personal tragedy in her 3rd year. PI gives no grace for her time grieving. Should friend let woman know her PI is not a good ref?

Indigenous Studies twitter! I am seeking help again. Do you have good sources on the legal framework of the TRC process in Canada? Or specifically, how it was shaped by or related to other, broader, human or cultural rights frameworks? (Besides the inimitable Dr. Million!)
