I couldn't be prouder of our @KingsCollegeLon students and their supporters for having relentlessly protested, evidenced, and negotiated an end to KCL's direct investments in Israel's arms suppliers. #StopGazaGenocide #Gaza #WarCrimes 🇵🇸

Companies involved in the manufacturing of cluster bombs, land mines and depleted uranium weapons used by Israel's military in Gaza will no longer receive investments by the college

was just serendipitously paired with a senior anthro prof on focusmate working on a book project. it was so nice -- we got to say things to each other at the end like "i had such a wonderful time just reading during this session" and "i am really enjoying my work today".

two weeks later & still soaking in all the fabulous conversations we had at this panel. left especially struck with @carriehryan's final question: what do intensities of fun tell us about social arrangements of life? where & why else are we bored, disenfranchised, out-of-place?
An incredible set of panels on the anthropology of fun and play at #EASA2024 with @KellynnWee and @carriehryan. All our presenters were amazing. Keep an eye out for future fruits of our conversation!

there is such a special feeling in playing a ttrpg with someone new to ttrpgs and seeing them surprised and delighted by their own creativity. how this surfaces in their words: "and then... oh, and then... but then...!"

With more people than ever trying to make a career in TTRPGs and actual play, @friede's new study wants to find out how many jobs the industry is actually supporting—and what it means for the "tabletop community" moving forward https://t.co/jatuT2oTUd
