Fuck you with this eugenicist agit-prop. Just look at Canada. We now have state philosophers arguing that it’s ok to extend MAiD to the homeless. It’s no different than the fever dreams of Thiel and co, whose ‘intellectual’ inspiration promotes bio-dieseling the poors.

It is my pleasure to share the recordings from #ResDiff7, an annual digital conference on inequity in the field of classics. All videos from #ResDiff7 (as well as all past conferences) can be found here: resdifficiles.com

🚨 Excellent 2-part article in Everyday Orientalism on the use of the past and archeology as foundational to the eliminationist colonial project of Zionist Israel. Part 1 1/2 everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2026/04/22/a...

I know people bristle at the idea of leftists who police language but a big reason it happens is because, especially as it relates to politicians, the language we choose serves as an entirely accurate predictor of the types of policy decisions we would make & who we would & wouldn’t place value on
