talking about “privilege” in regards to students protesting a genocide… you sound fucking stupid and frankly, conservative.

the privileged thing to do would be to simply NOT BE OUT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. but they are. so why are you (at home) grading them?

📣Call from Palestinian academics in the UK to defend Gaza universities and public commitments from UK universities and international organisations to support their rebuilding. 🎓🇵🇸

People need to stop making gauche faux pas while being arrested at protests and instead get back to what really matters: cyberbullying d-list celebrities for buying products which aren’t even on the BDS list

🚨Palestinian academics in the UK issue emergency call in defence of universities in Gaza and for urgent public commitments from UK universities and international organisations to support their rebuilding.🇵🇸

The Israeli state has literally created hell on Earth. These are unspeakable and unforgivable atrocities.

Unbelievably moving. 'If [my daughter is] arrested fighting for Palestine I will be the happiest daddy.'
The people cannot and will not be defeated.

this is a great bit of writing on relationships and politics, but aside from that, this first sentence captures something ive increasingly felt is pretty much core to how i evaluate… everything

Kept waiting and waiting for someone to write about polyamory, but nobody else seemed interested so I did it myself yalereview.org/article/brandy…

‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect

When the Israeli state began its smear campaign against UNRWA - Gaza's main humanitarian agency - Lisa Nandy joined in.

Given this involved defunding UNRWA during an artificial humanitarian calamity, Nandy's refusal to push back gave legitimacy to a genocidal act.

Parliament desperately needs this principled voice; it would be a game changer. Worryingly, I'm hearing a minority of local elderly men linked to the Labour Right are running a campaign to undermine the only Palestinian woman running as an independent. This is a betrayal of Gaza.

400+ Irish artists call on Eurovision contestant CUNTRY Ray to #BoycottEurovision2024 over the inclusion of genocidal Israel.

'By participating in Eurovision Song Contest you will be standing with the oppressor... We urge you to do the right thing.'

For @parapraxis_mag I thought a little about student protests for Palestine, the securitization of universities, the rhetoric of “safety,” and the spectacular distractions of America’s libidinally charged obsession with the things that happen “on campus.”

i wrote about how the cass review’s recs re ‘therapy’ contravene medical advice and open up possibilities to harm trans kids, and about the wider relationship of ‘therapy’ to anti-trans harm
