Someone asked whether I was upset that my child heard swearing and so on watching Glastonbury. *My* Blewish child is more upset to see and hear about Palestinian children, some his age, starving and dying. He is more upset about the kidnapped children who were returned home dead.

I did not know there exist legal anthropologists and I’m completely amazed by that fact.
Do you know someone I could talk to about the field as an older student?
Full disclosure, I am Black(not ADOS) + Jewish, “Blewish”, & diaspora of two worlds, with NB Jewish kids in college.

I go back and forth on this. I'm struck that in my lifetime, the word that is used to describe me has changed multiple times (multiracial, mixed-race, mixed-heritage, the insufferably twee 'Blewish', mixed, etc. etc.). I do think a lot of the time it would be better to just say 'that's racism'...

awkward to be at the Blewish meeting and it's like me, @owasow.bsky.social, @adamserwer.bsky.social, @chanda.blacksky.app, Lisa Bonet, Maya Rudolph, Tracee Ellis Ross, and this Palantir guy
![In his “most notorious [job] interview,” Karp met Louis Mosley, an Oxford graduate whose grandfather Oswald Mosley was the British fascist leader during World War II and once named “worst Briton of the twentieth century.”
As soon as Mosley sat down, Karp began reciting from memory, for several minutes, one of Oswald’s 1939 speeches demanding Britain seek peace with Nazi Germany. When finished, Karp executed tai chi moves and walked out without saying goodbye.
Mosley sat stunned, convinced his family’s past had torpedoed him. Instead, he was hired and now runs Palantir’s UK business.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:viy533g7pvyy7cesicxbqvm3/bafkreic5uyohukwuqdohjyvqmgpzyhsfrxmi54s4m46b3575qg4mkazyvu)
