SSHRC needs to kick in a bonus to letter writers to make up for the hours lost in waiting for their recommendation portal to load

Look at us staring at our screens like fools, searching for coherence in the politics of very online murder guys in their twenties.

People in North America should already care about Israel targeting Palestinians but it’s *also* a testing ground for all kinds of scary surveillance tech that’s going to be weaponized more widely

New York Times journalists as well - go on, quit your jobs

This article just reminded me of this old tweet

People who are interested can now find a book symposium on my Cambridge Element, Logical Empiricism as Scientific Philosophy here: link.springer.com/collections/... Thanks to Elisabeth Nemeth, James Pearson, and @audreysh.bsky.social for participating! #philsci #philsky

I remain stressed about when this podcast comes for the role academic philosophy has to play in this whole travesty

See if you can spot the difference between New York Times propaganda and the Israeli press. I know it’s subtle, let me know if you can’t figure it out.

Just How Hot Are Our Nation’s Prisons?

Helen was a beautiful person, philosopher, and artist, and I’m glad to have been their friend. They certainly will be remembered.

I wrote a really short piece for Hypatia about being an abolitionist and a survivor and why philosophers are such jerks (Literally I started writing this after giving a talk about the book I wrote with Barrett Emerick since Q&A made me feel like utter shit) doi.org/10.1017/hyp....

Another 27 Palestinians were massacred by Israeli soldiers while trying to access food. No international condemnation by every western politician. No two way sanctions. Nothing. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

May 25 marks five years since George Floyd was murdered by police in Minneapolis. His death sparked worldwide protests, but long before that moment, Floyd’s life told a story that many people in prison recognize.

It’s funny how this kind of article never gets written when, say, an American member of the “pro-Israel movement” murders a 6 year old child of Palestinian heritage at the outset of a conflict that would see the world’s most moral army slaughter more than 16,000 children with utter impunity

How can people say Oregon's drug decriminalization effort failed, when it was never implemented properly? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Israel announced the initial phase of “Gideon’s chariots,” the expanded ground invasion to permanently “conquer” Gaza, amid reports that Trump reneged on his deal with Hamas to lift the blockade, and will reportedly expel 1 million Gazans to Libya. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/isra... #Palestine #Israel

old enough to remember the breathless litigation over whether or not it was credible that the IDF may have possibly bombed 1 (one) hospital

Wow I guess they were right you really can’t even say “woman” anymore

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

It’s hard to keep up with all the evil stuff this administration is doing, but if I stay online and keep doomscrolling, I just might do it.

We avoided the super far right but still ended up with a basically right wing govt so I hope yall aren’t hoping the liberals will save us

If someone actually thinks that “settler colonialism” is an instance of antisemitic speech I really don’t know what to tell them

BCCLA condemns UBC Profs’ perverse interpretation of University Act. Read the full statement from Liza Hughes, Executive Director: bccla.org/2025/04/ubc-...

As of this morning, we've tracked over 600 student visa revocations at more than 100 colleges. That's double yesterday morning's count. Send updates to me or @amowreader.com and follow @insidehighered.com interactive visa map here: www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...

Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear. His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking. ccrjustice.org/home/press-c...

Just to be clear, they are not interested in eliminating antisemitism. They are targeting anybody that calls Israel an apartheid state committing genocide. These people are very happy with the Nazis doing their salute and holding rallies in the US, like Musk.

New DIY transition strategies just dropped

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

Who sacrificed what over Philip K Dick’s grave, fess up

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

Nice to see a little ah well, nevertheless,,, give rise to such a great mask off moment

Today’s lil emotional breakdown is brought to you by ADHD and a lot of coffee, how are all of you doing?

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked. The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/hun...

Her name is Rumeysa Ozturk, she's a student from Turkey, and even her lawyer doesn't know where she is right now.

Yeah but who amongst us has not drunk texted an ex our plans for war crimes

ICE just abducted another student. 2 days after Rumeysa Ozturk was doxxed by Canary Mission, she was ambushed by ICE on her way to an Iftar with friends. Free her and free them all! Students in Boston have called for an emergency rally tonight at 5:30 PM:

Michael was my dissertation advisor, and I’ll always be grateful for how much he taught me. I hadn’t been in touch with him for years, so I’ll just remember the hours in his office working through dissertation drafts and the cheerful way he started calling me professor Yap once I got a job

Discovered a generational gap in my class between people who are still reflexively horrified by the thought of a 6 pack ring being thrown away without being shredded to ribbons and the ones who are like wait are those still a thing

Hossam Shabat, a 23 year old journalist who documented the genocide of his people left a final message. shared by his team.

Americans, if yall just let us attend all your things remotely for the foreseeable future that would be great

I mean the racial slurs I got called in the 80s were mostly south Asian ones so in some sense ppl didn’t see colour but

York senior admin is cutting all of these programs claiming the need to save costs but won't ever consider cutting their salaries... Absurd doesn't even begin to describe it. (For more on what's going on at York, listen to this - www.academicaunties.com/episodes/fig...) #canlab #academicsky

According to his petition for release, "Suri has no criminal record and has not been charged with a crime" but "is being punished because of the Palestinian heritage of his wife—who is a U.S. citizen—and because the government suspects that he and his wife oppose US foreign policy toward Israel."

Remember you can just block anyone who responds to the current phase of genocide with “this is what you get for not voting for Kamala” instead of “what can we do to stop this”
