Once again, it's on. Welcome to Spring 2021 at UH Mānoa!
Very proud of this obituary of Jaimie Bloom. She influenced me tremendously. This was also my first obituary of a trans person. Working with her children to honor her wishes about describing both her lives was important and meaningful to me. https://t.co/op5qXjyhcp
Congratulations to UHM Anthro grad Kat Placher for her chapter on ethical fieldwork in the field of... mummy studies! Human remains deserve the highest ethical consideration so it is great to see this. Also: mummies are cool. https://t.co/SD2KeCSfWj

#TodayInHistory: Civilians, for the most part, weren't in immediate danger in the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The Japanese focused strictly on attacking military targets, but errant American anti-aircraft shells caused the accidental deaths of nearly 60 citizens on Oʻahu.

@dale_jp who specializes in Cute Studies helps explain why we are drawn to cuteness and #memes.
