It was confusing enough when Tyson decided to get the tattoo (a Maori inspired version of the tā moko). This is straight up sickening.

South Korean short-track speed skating is giving me an escape away from the hellscape we are in. So looking forward to this. #Olympics2026

Had the tremendous pleasure of hearing from @kimtallbear.bsky.social discuss the different forms, threats of self-indigenization last night at UHM. The panel talk was some of the most intellectually satisfying, nuanced, and raw expositions on identity (esp. from our Kanaka folks).

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

For my fellow American academics/researchers, etc: those who have international (EU) speaking engagements plans for this year, how are you planning to preface your talks - feeling it necessary to have an apology script ready to go. #AcademicSky

Is there a way to reclaim the word "generative." I swear, it's as if people only happened upon the term from 2024-2025.

I will never get over the fact that #Derrida taught at UC Irvine. Like, did he also stop by Wholesome Choice grocery store on the way back home from campus?
