A list of puns related to "American Ethnological Society"
Women in America are expected to raise children (1 full time job) AND work (full time job #2) and they get no credit for it.
We have been duped into believing this is normal and should be expected! It is NOT normal. This should NOT be normalized!
I just figured that a lot of people here and around are throwing blame on individual parents for their children's behavior this year, which is not healthy especially when it's not one or two children that are acting like this. While the pandemic did cause trauma for some families, what it really did was magnify the societal failings already present. A lot of people are looking for something to blame for it being a shit year in education and many of y'all are pulling a Karen instead of recognizing the blame lies in the system. The pandemic has shown that the boot strap mentality and the myth of American Exceptionalism are actively harmful and damaging. We saw that society is not adequately giving parents the tools or time they need to parent. You can more easily than ever make predictions on which students in your class are the "Haves" and which are the "Have nots." We want to make the field of education better and more sustainable but the key to doing that is ultimately getting people to recognize that our country's societal culture is toxic and to make meaningful steps to get people the tools to be successful.
TLDR: We need to burn it all down and rebuild, not blame the fish that were given bicycles.
I think itโs kind of funny that, starting in 2018, American society has just been crumbling and crumbling at an ever increasing rate. The targeted media, the covid hype, the actual democratic attacks of the 2020 election, and the failure of joe Biden and the left. Itโs honestly so funny to watch as this country is falling and falling. But no actually Iโm really afraid..
Update : I really didnโt think this would take off the way it did, but I openly encourage more discussion about this. I think itโs important regardless of your viewpoints to have discussions concerning Americaโs current state.
Nothing sells a product or platform like the idea of apocalypse. Evangelical churches always act like the rapture and second coming is a few years away at most; a Pew study showed that 40% of Americans think the literal second coming will take place by 2050^(1). So many popular movies, TV shows, video games, books, etc. are centered around the idea of apocalypses, civil collapse, and dystopian takeovers. Right wing news outlets like Fox have been fearmongering about civil war for decades, but now even the "left" wing ones are joining in.
A lot of this is obviously because society is at a deeply precarious position and people have anxiety about it, but that doesn't explain how weirdly... gleeful? folks are about it. Basically any right wing social media you could find online will be full of people fantasizing about executing liberals, but you see it even outside of a political sense. People fantasize about what they'd do in a Mad Max situation or zombie apocalypse all the time, even on forums like this.
Why is the US, a country which hasn't seen genuinely bad times (famine, civil war, plague, etc.) in living memory so obsessed with the idea? It doesn't seem like an idea that the media would actively want to promote, considering collapse tends to be bad for most sectors of the economy. Even if the system is so broken as to not be able to prevent an inevitable collapse, surely it would try to encourage paranoia & fear of it so as to prolong its own control as long as possible?

Interested in how science and art overlap? So are we! We are scientists and artists who use a variety of artistic media to create works of art that showcase microbiology in our world. Some of us use combinations of microbes "painted" on nutritional agar; others use more traditional artistic platforms like drawings and photography to express our ideas. What we have in common (other than our love of microbiology and art) is that we are all winners of the American Society for Microbiology's 2021 Agar Art Contest!
The American Society for Microbiology has organized this annual contest since 2015, inviting scientists, artists, and anyone with an interest in the intersection of science and art, to create and submit their microbial artwork. This is a rugged competition: each year there are hundreds of entries from around the world that are narrowed down through two rounds of expert judging to identify the winners.
Join us today for a discussion about our individual artistic inspirations and creative processes. We'll answer your questions about how to turn microbes (and microbial ideas and concepts) into works of art. We'll be jumping on from 2 - 4 PM ET (7 PM - 9 PM UTC). Ask us anything!

Iโm an ethnological layman, but a big fan of Levi-Straussโ โTristes Tropiquesโ. I am wondering whether his type of ethnological fieldwork, his methods of enquiry and analysis (including his structuralist approach) are still modern or nowadays considered as obsolete.
I am grateful for any information which helps me to get a modern view on his work.
I see it in different types of settings. Work, school, social environments in general.
I've always heard that life in China is a lot more difficult for foreigners than it is for natives, especially if you want to live in China long term, with things like owning property and saving for retirement, getting a driver's license, etc. All the foreigners I've heard this from though, are not of Chinese descent. I am an American Born Chinese, and I have often pondered moving to China and living there permanently. What Challenges would I expect to face, and would my being of Chinese descent make any difference, if at all? I think it is somewhat important to mention that I speak very little Mandarin and am fundamentally illiterate.
I grew up on these violence/poverty kind of movies. They have always been my favorite. Especially when these movies have good music and cinematography like City of God.

It's 2 pm, so we will call it here. Thanks for all the questions!
