My analysis of today's UK Supreme Court judgment. The UK Supreme Court Rules That Trans Women Aren't Women Under the Equality Act 2010 www.wearequeeraf.com/uk-supreme-c...

It's notable that these topics always become shocking for academia when it's white academics from the Global North who are impacted. But if you work in the UK, there are people at your university who cannot travel to archives or conferences because of their immigration status! For sure!

spent the last two days at the 'Global Southing Internet, Data, and AI Studies Workshop', organised by @jonasvalente.bsky.social at the Oxford Internet Institute - so many brilliant papers and generative conversations - and enjoyed presenting my own research on Nigeria

AI chatbots are still anti-thinking plagiarism machines that are wrong most of the time. I don’t care who uses them or says they’re great or thinks they’re our collective future. My future involves a lot of thinking, original work, and getting things right, so I have no use for them

Does anyone have access to Samaila Suleiman’s article ‘Archives as spaces of power: The social life of National Archives of Nigeria’? Published in Ibadan Journal of Humanistic Studies, vol. 31, no. 1 (2021). Thanks in advance! #historiansky #nigeria

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j... Really enjoyed this episode @joshuacitarella.bsky.social and Mike Pepi, with an interesting critique of Bluesky towards the end…

currently reading 📚

This from @christophersmith.bsky.social will (like the blog-post immediately before it) be of interest for @kawulf.bsky.social , @alanlester.bsky.social , @sathnam.bsky.social , @nevillemorley.bsky.social and others. Good to see the inherently collaborative nature of historical research recognised.

@eryk.bsky.social's ‘The Hypothetical Image’ essay is a great read. I am currently writing a thesis chapter that uses similar frameworks of generative AI, nostalgia, imagination, and history, to analyse historical meaning-making through photography and generative AI in Nigeria.

This is happening now in Beirut. X, as horrific as it got, is a loudspeaker for the silenced. I am still there because of it. We must get intentional about circulating the horrors in Palestine, Lebanon, Sudan if we intend to make this the just alternative.
