A friend of mine is from the area and said that people from all over enroll at Salem State because they’re “witchy” - is that true? Is the student body “witchier” than on average?

Does anyone know what's eating our broccolini and peppers? And if so, what can we do about it? (We're in central Indiana.) Thanks!

I just came across Apter's "Ethnographic X-Files" in HAU and had always been looking for a caption for these types of epistemically uncanny experiences in the field. Of course, Evans-Pritchard's "witchcraft at night" vignette is a classic, but I'm wondering what other articles or chapters there are where the ethnographers discuss their own moments of self-disbelief, of "knowing but not believing," where their previous worldview begins to breakdown as they accept other, radically different ontologies and ways of being. Any and all suggestions are more than welcome!

I just heard that Tyson Foods employs hundreds of chaplains who walk down the production line and visit with workers. Does anyone know about this? The only things I can find online seem to frame this as either (1) evangelical or (2) meant to improve workers' personal lives, but it seems likely to me that they would actually be used to help manage (=repress) workers' spiritual distress from working in these types of settings. Does anyone know about this? Has anyone studied spiritual distress in places like Tyson?

The drawer used to glide smoothly, but now it sticks halfway in. It has side-mount ballbearing slides and cabinet-mounted rear brackets screwed into particleboard spacers. There's no obvious bending or debris or anything in the tracks. We've already tried cleaning and lubricating the tracks. It seems to move smoothly when it's just engaging the slide attached to the pull-out tray and only catches when it starts engaging the slide attached to the cabinet wall. What can i do to fix it?
