Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

Found my “missing” copy of @ankahajkova.bsky.social book in my partners office…

Had a great time chatting with @hannahva390.bsky.social and @paolamedgonz.bsky.social about queer fascists, sex tourism, and the state of antiracism in Germany. Also Space Lesbians.

The suns is out and it’s time for a Helles

I think this was made for me and me alone #elchavodelocho

Is that my bestie on the podcast? It sure is! Make sure to listen to last week's episode with Erika Herrera Rosales on her new book! Check it out on anchor.fm/theoryish

Beyond excited and happy to report that I’m one of them!

It’s almost like words + action + evidence + war crimes + a stated desire to replace democracy with Silicon Valley tech has consequences or something idk

So incredibly thrilled and privileged to have been a part of this great panel discussion! As an ECR, words cannot describe how honored I feel to be alongside these fantastic folks! So many thanks to Craig Griffiths and @npapadogian.bsky.social for this opportunity!

I am thrilled to be part of this new forum in German History alongside wonderful colleagues for which I have a lot of respect (even though...yes..we do disagree 😆). Thank you @npapadogian.bsky.social and Craig Griffiths for this opportunity!

@unistrathclyde.bsky.social Bit cheeky isn't it to post a job app over the bank holiday with no timeframe?

We are back baby!

The academic job market continues to humble you even after you have accepted a faculty position. Just received a rejection for a job I applied to in September.

Some reflections on the last two days co-hosting (with Dr. Cedar Lensing-Sharp) the "Queer Lives and Trans* Formations: Reimagining Weimar Germany's LGBTQ+ Histories and Cultures" conference!

Many thanks to @mharrabin.bsky.social and Cedar Lensing-Sharp for the opportunity to present today! Hopefully my illness didn’t deter its legibility.

I am thrilled to have received the @jewishbookcouncil.bsky.social in category "Holocaust" for People without History Are Dust. My book was shortlisted alongside books by colleagues whom I respect and whom I have been reading since I was a young student.

Don’t judge. The “tz” and “ck” trip me up.

Zeitenwende in Chile Mit dem Sieg von José Antonio Kast bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen wird auch Chile vom autoritären Rollback ergriffen, wie es aktuell in vielen Ländern – allen voran den USA – zu beobachten ist. Ein Thread 🧵

Too much attention in Europe being paid to Trump's incoherently futile diplomacy and not enough to his dangerously destabilising actions in US domestic politics

WAR! What is it good for? Absolutely this week's new episode! We were joined by @hdabrown.bsky.social to discuss "On War" by Carl von Clausewitz . We discuss politics, Napoleon, and Battlestar Galactica! Listen on anchor.fm/theoryish

Dare I say, I made a mean pretty website.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

I’ve never clicked on a article faster in my life.

My brilliant friend and colleague @sebboo.bsky.social Sébastien Tremblay presented his book A Badge of Injury on the New Books Network — sharp analysis, compellingly told, highly recommended! Go and listen, then go and read! 🎧📚 ➡️ newbooksnetwork.com/a-badge-of-i...

Hello friends! Currently looking to see if anyone either has a digital copy or link to the 1969 film Die Verdammten | The Damned. Trying to avoid Amazon Bezos as best I can.

Hello friends, does anyone have some writing recommendations with a fractured arm? I am able to type at an angle but my muscles exhaust quite quickly.

Today, my seminars discussed the Holocaust. Alongside the fantastic readings and lectures, I provided a short clip from Shoah (1985) and these were their associations.

It's ya boi Benji! We are starting off our season with a tried and true Walter Benjamin episode on his "Arcades Project"! Alongside former Prom King @mattPGRbliss , we discuss interior shopping space, walking and found footage horror! Listen on buff.ly/4h3sAvo

Me and @paolamedgonz.bsky.social had our first live podcasting event yesterday 🥳 (@theoryishpodcast.bsky.social) We spoke about Walter Benjamin’s concept of Aura and how applicable it is today 📸 It was recorded so will post again once it is live ☺️

Honored to write the Rolling Stone obituary for the worst American of the post-World War II era. Rot in piss

What’s to say about the man that hasnt been said before? He was a warmonger responsible for carpet bombing of Cambodia, evaded Watergate and leeched onto every US president since. Good riddance and happier days.

Thanks to everyone who made this a fantastic first season! We’re going to be back in January with some great theory and awesome guests!

Thank you, Seb, for helping advertise. Brian and I spent the last six months shepherding 6 lovely authors, young and senior, Germanists, historians, and art historians, in formulating their thoughts on @jennifervevans.bsky.social brilliant "The Queer Art of History" incl @paolamedgonz.bsky.social
