rly excited about this one! the last publication from my MA research has been released as part of this new collection of queer geography scholarship, along with the work of such brilliant colleagues as @queergeog.bsky.social @sagebrice.bsky.social & @joejukes.bsky.social !! doi.org/10.4337/9781...

proud of this short editorial with great colleagues

Such a treat to get to be part of this collective thinking about collective thinking

Such a treat to get to be part of this collective thinking.

Pilot narrowly avoids ‘midair collision’ with US air force plane near Venezuela

Words feel weak after the violence at Bondi Beach, but silence isn’t an option. Antisemitism is real and lethal. Please support your local Jewish communities. Be courageous in the face of hate. Ahmed al Ahmed’s courage shows how solidarity across difference keeps us safe. We are each other.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

yes, you know Venezuela has lots of oil, but do you know what kind? and how that relates to the kind of refineries the US has? Great short overview of the geoeconomics behind the geopolitics here www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgwn...

This is political violence against the living world. Mass Extinction will follow. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A majority of Indiana Senate Republicans stood together to reject Trump’s mob-boss politics. There is more power in standing up to a corrupt, unpopular administration rather than playing its game. Law firms, universities, foundations, and media companies should take note.

So delighted to see this piece out in @areajournal.bsky.social — a journal I value enormously for its sharp, thoughtful and boundary-pushing work in geography. The article grows out of my research on eviction hearings and explores how legality is lived, felt and negotiated in court. ⤵️ #geosky

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

Everything Trump touches is transactional.

This was the first Big Map I made, showing Kent in 1970, the year of the shooting. It labels businesses & landmarks, and includes buttons to press & hear oral histories. There are two versions - one on campus, and this one in the city historical society. 5 yrs later great to see it being 'lived in.'

So proud to see my friend and colleague @katiejwells.bsky.social ‘s critical research on the front page of today’s NYTimes!!!! Katie, you are a trailblazing scholar! ❤️

New research found that Instacart is charging shoppers different prices — despite ordering the same items from the same store at the same time. The price differences could amount to an extra $1,200 a year for the average household of four. Corporate greed is out of control.

honoring today Dec. 10 (international human rights day) by sharing this horrific and ridiculous news.

New BSC Blog. On the final day of '16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence' @sofiagraca.bsky.social considers the theme: 'Ending Digital Violence Against all Women and Girls' & outlines the pitfalls of digital technology and the possibilities. shorturl.at/YYJfU

Sounds like more than reasonable grounds for a recount. Do it!

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

Why has it taken this long to figure this out? lube! they need lube! A very particular sort of lube it seems. That they cannot make. You cannot make this stuff up.

this is brilliant, how can we do a community scholars program like this in Geography?

Yes! Dems should absolutely use ranked choice voting for primaries. I would be so much more exited about the process if they did. #rankedchoice www.axios.com/2025/11/24/d...

"They are children...what did they do? They do not have missiles or bombs, they went to gather wood for their father so he can start a fire."

In Gaza, where universities lie in rubble and classrooms have been replaced by screens, education has refused to die.

The headline needs fixing. It should read: An Illegal Strike ...not "Dishonorable". Dishonorable describes the people who carried out the orders.

There was no "Emergency" situation with crime in DC. This stunt got a 20 year old young woman killed. It. Got. A. Woman. Killed.

The deliberate starvation hasn’t ended, as government officials in Gaza say that only around 200 trucks of food per day are being allowed through their borders, far short of the agreed-upon 600. As a result, malnutrition levels are still around 90 percent. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-gaz...

Tbilisi now. Day 366 of uninterrupted protests. A full year of arrests, crackdowns, repressive laws, and fines. The illegitimate, pro-Russian regime must end. 📷 Levan Zazadze

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

A year ago today, Georgians flooded the streets after Georgian Dream said it would suspend EU accession. The people haven’t stopped since — protests have taken place every day in 8+ cities. Tonight, Tbilisi is packed with protesters marching toward Parliament. 🎥 Netgazeti

Yet another deliberate effort from our Statehouse to undermine the will of Ohioans — who overwhelmingly voted in defense of reproductive freedom. When I'm governor, the attacks on a woman's right to choose end. www.cleveland.com/open/2025/11...

Some thoughts by @sofiagraca.bsky.social on this year's 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence theme on ending digital violence. blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/expertcommen...

Thread, today in St. Paul, Minnesota raid and attacks by federal agents. Dana Thiede, KARE11: "As word spread about the operation unfolding on Rose Ave., neighbors and activists calling themselves 'constitutional observers' streamed in, holding phones in the air to videotape what was unfolding."

Is it a Russian plan? As a translator I find it very convincing that "Luke Harding of The Guardian noted that the plan appears to have been translated from Russian, as many of the phrases in the text read naturally in that language but are awkward and clunky in English." - Heather Cox Richardson

So Elon opened a feature on Twitter X that allows you to see the country of origin of an account. This new feature exposed literally millions of MAGA accounts as bots, he then promptly shut down the feature. MAGA is literally fake news.

A very detailed follow-the-money research about who will benefit the most from the newest US invasion.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Only problem is that pigs are very intelligent and he’s not. Of course he doesn’t know that.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.' h/t @cocacolakid

Trump thinks reminding people to obey the constitution, court orders and the law is sedition and treason justifying the death penalty.

A New Jersey fraudster who was pardoned by President Trump in 2021 was sentenced to 37 years in prison this month for running a $44 million Ponzi scheme, one of a growing number of people granted clemency by Trump only to be charged with new crimes.
