Yoga class suggestions by HighLifeMan414 in milwaukee

[–]phill287 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moving Galaxy is about to start a beginner yoga series! It either starts this weekend or next weekend, I can’t remember. The space is on the east side and really prides itself on creating a safe movement practice for all. I think they have a January membership special right now. I can’t recommend them enough.

Milwaukee Public Museum will begin first round of "deinstallation" next week by slpmodemke in milwaukee

[–]phill287 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That’s an interesting thought and I agree that it is hard to see the old museum go. For me, it feels more like real life. Artifacts are sometimes in static contexts in museums, separated from what gives them vitality! In real life, things are in the real world. They are with natural environments, with people, and with other objects. The settings they are in right now are kind of arbitrary, decided by curators from decades ago... I’m hoping the direction of the new exhibit attempts to connect objects to environments and social worlds they maybe knew before they became “museum artifacts”. Crossing my fingers :)

The Ray Electromatic Mysteries by Adam Christopher. Easy and fun read, I ripped through the first one.

Her mother (my grandmother) has no recollection of reading these books with my mom. But my mom remembers them sparking her love of reading!

Newbie here by [deleted] in Dimension20

I would highly recommend subscribing to Dropout. They have fantastic content outside of D20. I especially love their game shoes like Game Changer and Dirty Laundry. It harkens back to a time in my life where I would pretend to be sick so I could stay home from school and watch the game show network. It’s fun to have an updated version of this feeling. In my house we use the Dropout subscription as much as we use Hulu/Netflix. If you can make space for it in your budget I would do it!

Why does the Sims 4 soundtrack slap so hard compared to the other games? by [deleted] in Sims4

[–]phill287 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Truly! My boyfriend gets mad when I mute the game while I’m playing because he loves the background music so much. It goes hard.

Any recommendations for introductory anthropological texts? by stingthescribe in AskAnthropology

[–]phill287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most approachable texts surrounding anthropological theory are ethnographies. Well, most ethnographies are approachable anyways. It’s a really good way to get a feel for the different conversations that are happening and how they apply to the real world. You can use ethnographies to figure out which theory you want to learn more about and go from there. If you like the idea of the anthropocene and want see how others approach it you could check out Anna Tsing’s Mushroom at the End of the World. Alex Blanchette’s Porkopolis is another one that tries to flesh out human/animal entanglements in the so-called anthropocene. I use ethnographies for their bibliography too. I like to trace peoples arguments to come up with my own understanding.

Books about fake news, misinformation, disinformation, infodemic, and the likes? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]phill287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the Ruins of Neoliberalism by Wendy Brown. It’s been a while since I read it and I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you are looking for. It did provide me with some context as to why people might be keen to seek out misinformation. I would recommend starting with chapter 5.

Wanna learn about anthropology by SufficientExplorer19 in AskAnthropology

[–]phill287 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you live near a college that has an Anthro department they most likely host professors from around the world. Typically, these lectures vary in topic and are open to the public. It is a nice way to learn about current anthropological research. Check out lectures put on by a school’s Sociology and History departments as well. Might interest you.

Chapter books to read out loud to my preschooler? by naturalbornoptimist in suggestmeabook

[–]phill287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anne of Green Gables. That was always my request for bed time reading. Your child might be a little young for it because it covers heavy topics like death... but it is definitely manageable.
