fitzcarraldo is having a sale - give me your best book recs 🔥

increasingly what i enjoy doing is thinking about how to mix art, media and 'non-academic' forms of expression with my work and this has been a cool way to play around with that. major thanks goes to @voelkerrechtsblog.org for being open to this kind of thing & to anna sophia for the visual :)

cant believe that this is the first-ever time that liberalism has been ill-equipped to stand up to fascism. crazy stuff that nobody could have predicted

It’s long past time that I take responsibility for what I wrote on Israel/Palestine in ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR. & with the Gaza genocide, our thinking about what amends & healing may ever involve is even more urgent. Even if there may never be “forgiveness” or “atonement.”

“More than 80 per cent of Gaza’s territory has been subsumed into Israeli militarised zones or covered by forced displacement orders, with much of the rest of the population crowded into the southern Mawasi coastal strip or parts of central Gaza.” www.ft.com/content/054f...

battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: * feeling my hair float around me in the sea * meeting someone and realising instantly they're going to become a friend * great coffee * sitting outside on a first sunny day in march * sprinting as fast a I can the last 100m of a run

all i know is that normalizing debate with fascists has only facilitated the rise of fascism.

i think that maybe I’d have an easier time getting a job at a uni as a brand or marketing consultant than as a lecturer

Watch the space below for the next two weeks. Thank you @voelkerrechtsblog.org, @verfassungsblog.de & everyone involved for standing firm and making this possible. This symposium, and the lessons we take from the subject it tackles, are of critical importance. voelkerrechtsblog.org/de/symposium...

if ai does a task for me i can't complain about how much i hated doing it and like that to me is worth ten times more than ease and efficiency

i'm just a girl standing in front of her employer asking it to please stop pushing us all to use ai like jesus christ just lemme do my job the old fashioned way like i just wanna use my brain and be inefficient is that too much to ask for

Starmer has the worst political instincts of any party leader in history. His entire strategy is trying to appease a bunch of people who already decided years ago they hated him. Meanwhile he's pissing off everybody who tolerated him.

i legitimately had no idea how much work getting a journal issue out requires until i joined LRIL. it's unpaid labour that's done *on top of everything else*. and while it can be fulfilling, it can also be menial and *hushed voice* boring. with that in mind, i actually really respect this response.

i may not be particularly clever, funny or pretty BUT mosquitoes ***love*** me

Academics are under unrelenting pressure to accept the narrative of the inevitability of #generativeAI & to embrace it in teaching & learning. We resist - because it is ecologically destructive, ethically corrupt, & because it undermines the thinking abilities that make us both human & intelligent.

🚨🚨🚨my bestest best friend’s book is available to pre-order in the uk & you should absolutely drop everything you’re doing and go order it rn. it’s brilliant & got a ton of awards in ex-yu countries before being translated into English🚨🚨🚨 www.waterstones.com/book/say-fir...

the vibe rn is we will out-right the right

may the urge to post on LinkedIn never find me

doesn’t he literally live in Downing Street so like would be a bit off if *he* didn’t have one at home

Another example of that timless British social-democratic adage 'you can only defeat the far right by adopting their politics'. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ - Israel just bombed Nasser Hospital again as they were trying to recover bodies after a bombing that had killed 15. Live on air.

My friend Dr. Mohammed Al-Habibi was martyred today in Nasser Hospital.

imagine the audacity to be like - we accidentally bombed a hospital twice within minutes - after you’ve been bombing hospitals *not accidentally* for two years

i love it when journals are like - as a token of our appreciation for your free labour as a reviewer here's a discount code for X academic press so you can buy books which other people also wrote and reviewed for free and which the said publisher is making an absolute killing on.

if you’re on the left, the question of “should you be on a platform consciously designed to turn people to the right” shouldn’t be some head-scratching dilemma

i really wish more liberals would read this

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested. If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC. That's sensible, proportionate policing.

honestly can't wait for winter so that everyone else is depressed as well

we’ve been quiet because we’ve been working on this for a minute—see you in just over a week for the first session on Kanafani’s “On Zionist Literature”!

Really excited that this fab piece by @fatimaahdash.bsky.social and Safaa Jaber is out in S3 of LRIL now. It’s super timely as it offers insight into how counterterrorism legislation has been used to suppress Palestine solidarity historically. academic.oup.com/lril/advance...

may I suggest you listen to this, it has some real bangers* * and by bangers I mean some really incisive Marxist analysis podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

A must-read (and must-share)!!

Do not forget to follow @davidmabb.bsky.social to see his wonderful cover designs for our books published with @haymarketbooks.org. This one, a collection of essays by Isaak Ilyich Rubin, edited and translated by Richard B. Day.

Idk who needs to hear this but ‘Israel doesn’t kill all kids it only kills sick kids’ really is not the flex you think it is

you know comrade zohran is a real socialist because he has the ability to insult someone in a way they'll never recover from without even really trying

i hope y'all have a good day but especially the kid who used his live interview about a-level results to say free palestine, end the genocide and the bbc is complicit

Still remember one study where they had "AI" look at photos to diagnose cancer and it had like a 98% or 99% accuracy... ...except all the photos of actual tumors had a ruler next to them for scale. And the algorithm just got really good at spotting rulers in a photograph.

my moment has arrived

the icc, and also me trying to join a work meeting from the beach

can’t wait for her to find out Jesus was Palestinian

'is there language teaching we can do using chatgpt' like babe, i don't think anyone's going to pay university tuition when they could just pay for duolingo premium

lmao delete an old photo of your grandma so that we can keep using AI as a personal assistant

'‘Are you telling me that in 100 or 200 years [...] they will say, ‘Well, there were people here called the Gazans, but then a new culture came. We should apologise to those Gazans’? Are you telling me we will end up being a line in someone’s story?”. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

49.9% of the arrested protesters were 60 and over which like the state really is just spending all of its resources to imprison pensioners standing up against genocide

“This is my duty…reporting the suffering of a people that I am living amidst, suffering that I am experiencing myself.” – Reporter Anas al-Sharif in what would become his final interview with us just weeks before being killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. Full report ⤵️ youtu.be/YeQD6spHyEU
