In this video I do my best to reclaim cosmic horror, address the rising wave of transphobia, and show how even in the face of overwhelming dread we can and must still find hope. I also attempt to illustrate the importance of organizing labor.

While alive, she was bombarded by the constant pressure of fans, producers, and virtually everyone else to constantly “perform”. To make their money, or make them happy. Even in death, she is under insurmountable pressure…
Until this year, the University of Kentucky’s William S. Webb Museum of Anthropology had never returned any of the more than 4,500 Native American human remains in its collections.That is about to change.Weeks after ProPublica published the “Repatriation Project,” the university told federal officials that 138 ancestral remains in its collection could be repatriated to…
Netflix’s RRR has action, adventure, and problematic casteist politics.

A new memorandum of understanding between the country’s largest farm equipment maker, John Deere Corp., and the American Farm Bureau Federation is now raising hopes that U.S. farmers will finally regain the right to repair more of their own equipment.However, supporters of right-to-repair laws suspect a more sinister purpose: to slow the momentum of efforts…
Tucked away in a small shop near the Giza necropolis is the Khemit School of Ancient Mysticism, which offers tours of Egyptian monuments based on the teachings of Khemitology, a mystical movement developed by Stephen Mehler and based on the teachings of Abd’El Hakim Awyan. Proponents of Khemitology claim it represents a superior approach to the ancient history of Egypt than Egyptology. Can these claims be believed. This video investigates.
Despite decades of Indigenous activism and resistance, UC Berkeley has failed to return the remains of thousands of Native Americans to tribes. The university is still discovering more human remains in its collection.
White, a world-renowned expert on human evolution, said the collection was passed down through generations of anthropology professors before he started teaching with it in the late 1970s. It came with no records, he said. Most were not labeled at all or said only “lab.” But that simple description masked a dark history, UC Berkeley…
The Schomburg Center’s Photographs and Prints Division houses more than 500,000 photographs, lithographs, and engravings by and about Black people in the U.S., Africa, and the wider African Diaspora. Recently, 17 daguerreotype portraits in the Division dating from the 1840s to 1850s, most of them featuring Black subjects, were digitized and are now available to…

Long conceived as the worst imaginable combination of legal impunity and religious fanaticism, the inquisition remains more the object of horror than deeply understood. Originating in the 13th century attempt to suppress the…
This text is part of a larger examination of the Founding Fathers, colonialism, and resistance.
President’s Day, a federal holiday, observes George Washington’s birthday on February 22. Yet as a slave owner and profiteer on others’ servitude, George Washington is a poor exemplar of the struggle for freedom. Rather than looking to him for a model representing resistance to tyranny, let’s remember the slaves and indentured servants who sought to…
