My university: "Copilot is Microsoft's AI-powered productivity service that uses large language models (LLMs) to help you create content, analyze information, summarize documents, and complete tasks more efficiently." Microsoft: LOL

Let's please also acknowledge the work of @sarahlamdan, who's been documenting this phenomenon for years — and who wrote a whole book about it!

”Reductionist views which subscribe to and perpetuate misleadingly binary constructs of sex play into misogynistic right-wing politics which harm us all… this is not a theoretical debate, it impacts lived realities and the liveability of our lives.” Feminist scholars demand trans equality.

"Realtime warfare communicates, decides + resolves events w/in the same moment... For distant audiences, war arrives as image + update. For us, for me, it begins with a rupture in space-time, an extended lag, an excruciating wait for news. It begins with a phone call. One that does not go through."

This! And those who turn to it do so because they are terrified about keeping up, while Profs are increasingly overworked, and welfare services threadbare. If university is tickbox skills and corporate profit, rather than education for a robust democracy, AI works. Not otherwise.

This while as @taylorlorenz.bsky.social has reported, actual chaplains are being AI surveilled and their social care work Taylorised.

Border Patrol is operating as bounty hunters. Agents are apparently getting paid for each person they put in detention. Even if those people are grandmothers traveling on valid tourist visas. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Is the screen-based bureaucratic management tasks (attendance, record keeping, email torrents, form filling, reimbursement labyrinths, inane video training boxticking, multiplication of online platforms and teaching materials) demanded by Uk university making us dumber and exhausted? Yes.

London friends I’m speaking at the LSE Thursday morning at 11 AM in CBG G.01 www.lse.ac.uk/geography-an...

I left Twitter, blinked, and that whole world is suddenly here. Hello people. I mostly post about girlhood, domestic cultures, and my cat. This is cat.

okay let’s ask this again: narrative podcasts (rather than one-off episodes on different topics), not comedy, ***not murders***. any suggestions??

If you weren’t at @lalehkhalili.bsky.social’s keynote on Palestine, watch. If you were one of those of us in the room, watch again. Including the final film short, Larissa Sansour’s 2008 Palestinian Space Exodus

Gender Place and Culture is calling for feminist scholars from #Palestine and elsewhere to write short intervention pieces on the ongoing genocide genderplaceandculture.wordpress.com/2023/12/21/c...

Our all star round table with Tracy Assing, Lara Choksey, and @snehakrishnan.bsky.social explored and unsettled the intimacies that queer ecology informs between literature and science as well as many other interdisciplinary fields and practices.

I received this morning an urgent appeal about the growing anti-Palestinian violence in the West Bank, from my friend, Yigal Bronner, and David Shulman, both Israeli Indologists, translators and peace activists. Major points below…

If you are an academic or student in the UK being targeted bc of your support for #Palestine liberation, you may find useful this explainer on the rights & responsibilities of staff & students re: #academicfreedom, freedom of expression t.co/4oaquR26Ov

Meanwhile, settlers in another part of the world make their feelings clear.

So, I can now confirm that my essay “Reading (in) Graham Greene’s *The Ministry of Fear* (1943)”—an 11,000 word trans-generic reading of the novel interrogating modernism’s trouble with spy fiction—will appear in the first issue of the next volume of NOVEL: A Forum on Fiction.

I’ve got the piece on Jasbir Puar in this, after a few months of fangirling and re-reading everything she wrote

I'd love to give talks about my book-in-progress. Invite me? I'm writing about girlhood, archives, and haunting in early C20 India. I have ghost stories, a riveting murder, and a wonderful queer romance to tell. I'm in India in October, UK otherwise, and US early 2024.

Who's going to the RGS-IBG Annual Conference at the end of this month? I'm presenting on South Indian college magazines at a panel on 'The Place of the Archive' org by Srilata Sircar and Raktim Ray; and running a panel on 'Carceral Domesticities' with Laura Anton. What is everyone else doing?

Proof of how old I am: I saw a “Proud Parents” LGBTQ event and thought it was for queer parents because everyone around me is having babies, but no it was for parents of queer children. Millennials, we are aging.

This is literally out of Black Mirror

Disappointing to see folks continue to circulate that petition without critically engaging with the actual issues at hand - or, at the very least, listening to people working (and living!) at the intersection of disability and Empire.
