I actually ended up getting some #DissertationWriting today.
I do, once again, recommend reading Hugh Gusterson’s “Nuclear Weapons and the “Other” in the Western Imagination.”
In any case I did the meme along those lines:

My advisor, rightfully, made me cut chapter in #DissertationWriting that began w/Spanish invasion of NM & traced Sandia & Los Alamos thru corruptt spanish land grants & racist application of treaty of guadalupe hidalgo

Heritage & its performance is a critical means of contemporary nation-state construction and maintenance.
This is white supremacist fascism.

Last week, while visiting several Smithsonian museums, I kept wondering how long it would take for this administration to direct exhibits to be pulled. Not long, it turns out. 🗃️ www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Having a PhD probably made using the dog’s toothpaste more likely. To be honest. 😬

until the next morning when I was brushing my teeth and noticed that the dog toothpaste was sitting on the counter next to the tube of normal human toothpaste.
I thought to myself "Self, this is a grown man with a PhD, and the dog toothpaste is
a) brown, b) tacky, and c) poultry flavored"

Needless to say this goes in the #DissertationWriting in my discussion about info management and the importance of transparency & accountability to a museum.

The federal government is methodically hunting and rooting out LGBTQIA+ people from service (with the help of alt right trolls) and this is the best NYT could muster.
It’s pathetic and dangerous.

A new term for my #DissertationWriting
The Sunlight Foundation defined “weaponized transparency” in 2017 as the use of data disclosure as a tool for division & public intimidation, rather than a means for achieving transparency and accountability.
@willoremus.com refined that in a useful way:

One of the greatest changes in my knowledge pre-grad-school & fieldwork & now & #DissertationWriting…
…is how much and how deeply USA social formations are organized by and around racialization & fucking over people racialized as “Other”.

If you want to get a sense of how fucked & racist this country is, come spend some time with me in the records, where today I happened upon the case of a free Black Marylander, Charles Lee, who purchased his own family from a Catholic college only to be prevented by law from freeing them.

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

Hell’s yes.
This is praxis.
Decreasing the circulation, ease of access, and presence of Fascist Xitter across as many social spaces as possible matters and is a Good Thing.
I say this with the fervor of a #SemioticAnthropologist in the throes of #DissertationWriting : circulation matters.

And there it is:
the “we used nuclear weapons on civilians so we have balls” nationalist chauvinism.
What an excellent quote for my #DissertationWriting.
So kind of everyone to say the quiet parts so loudly of late.

The #DissertationWriting has made this painfully clear in a way that shorter writing projects haven’t.
Writing is thinking.
It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

It’s easy to think writing is mainly the transcription of ideas you already have—that is, until you try to write something worthwhile, and you find what you thought were saying transform into something far more interesting in the process. This skips that last step, and that is *not* an improvement.
