#anthropologist — Public Fediverse posts

Some Basic #Facts about Language for #Political #Bullshit Artists. Erika R Alpert, PhD - As a #linguistic #anthropologist, I take a few things for granted, because they are pretty useful for understanding how and why people do what they do, and have been empirically demonstrated across the work of linguists, #anthropologists, and #sociologists for, say, the last 50–60 years. https://erikaalpert.com/2024/08/20/some-basic-facts-about-language-for-political-bullshit-artists/ #factcheck #factchecking #journalism #newspapers #washingtonpost

How big a garden would you need to be self-sufficent?

Many different answers to that question here. Maybe interesting for #smallholders #Crofters #Garden #Permaculture #AllotmentChat people? One of my favouite replies was:

“There are no self-sufficient agriculturalists. The base unit for success is probably about 50 people. The first thing to cultivate is friends.”MarnaNightingale

(Maybe that’s because I am an #anthropologist, not a crofter 😊)
