New paper! Ian Paterson and I explore Scotland’s desecuritisation of immigration, outlining how desecurisation can be an affectively attractive method to pursue the self as well as an ethical ontological security seeking practice. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

francesca albanese has cited eurovision, along with the olympics, fifa, fiba and other sporting and cultural events, as sheltering israel from accountability by not removing it from their competitions. if that is not a damning indictment of eurovision’s complicity in genocide i don’t know what is.

if i won the lottery i wouldn’t tell anyone but there would be signs

the countries that pushed for russia’s exclusion in 2022 are particularly good pressure targets, appeal to their former conscience: 🇫🇮🇪🇪🇸🇪🇳🇴🇩🇰🇱🇻 also good to pressure countries that haven’t made a decision yet (poss open to persuasion), eg: 🇫🇮🇪🇪🇧🇪🇫🇷🇵🇹🇭🇷🇦🇱🇵🇱

This summer was the fourth hottest in European history, and its effects on the continent’s population have been widely reported. New research estimates that climate change caused 16,469 deaths in European cities this summer.

wild statement from the international cyclist union about la vuelta here. we’re all used to cultural and sporting institutions claiming they are “non-political” and care about “unity” to avoid responsibility by now, but outright attacking a country’s ability to host events is a new low. shameful.

i am going to repost this every day until people do it!! template in the second post if you need some help getting started.

the momentum started by RTVSLO, RTÉ, AVROTROS and others is a huge opportunity right now to pressure the EBU to get israel out of #eurovision but we need to tell other national broadcasters that we want them to do the same! write to them today! 1/2

the time to contact your national broadcasters is now. with rté, rtvslo and others there is momentum here, but still-on-the-fence broadcasters need to know their audiences demand action. write every single week until december, get all your friends and family to do it too.

object visibly drops from directly above, caught on camera, to a boat sailing under the portuguese flag and in tunisian waters, an obvious and egregious act of terrorism by israel and the us, but states and media are calling it a fucking cigarette!!

the finnish government has ceased recognising passports issued by the Palestinian Authority (and other refugee and stateless travel documents), despite having previously recognised them. if you live in Finland, sign this petition. www.sumud.fi/en/petition/...

this is how it feels to have intermediate finnish

Unlike Marina “actually-it’s-cringe-to-do-anything” Hyde, I prefer to remember the words of Rasha Abdulhadi, a Palestinian: "Wherever you are, whatever sand you can throw on the gears of genocide, do it now. If it's a fingernail full, scrape it out and throw. Get in the way however you can."

This is such a good statement, and ending it 'We regret that, sadly, unanimity is not possible on this issue and kinder ground eludes us' is definitely language I want to use in the future.

If you work at University of Helsinki and belong to the HYT/HUART union please take part in the upcoming vote on the academic boycott of Israel. It takes place on September 2nd at 5pm!

“To generate knowledge in the context of hunger is to think through pain. To teach students who have not eaten and still tell them their voices matter. To insist, against all odds, that Gaza still thinks, still questions, still creates.” www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

🎶you can dance if you want to but the tax office will know cause your friends can’t dance and if they do dance then the ticket price will grow

was wondering why so few people dance at gigs in finland and fortuitously came across the answer at the espoo city museum, the country is basically the town from footloose lol

You all keep asking why people are still on Twitter. It's because of footage like this, which most of you don't want to see, none of you want to engage with and @bsky.app actively suppresses. Twitter might be the Nazi app, but Bluesky is The Zone Of Interest app

In the rubble and ruins of Gaza, where the sky carries more fear than freedom, children still wake up with the dream of learning. Today, in one of PalHumanity’s supported primary schools, we distributed school bags—simple, humble gifts that carry far more than pencils and notebooks. #Gaza #Children

yeah i’m an optimist (always writes 250 word abstracts hoping the journal submission portal won’t have a 200 word limit)

Palestinians have delivered testimony after testimony about the Israeli-backed and U.S.-run “death traps” masquerading as aid sites. But no one listened until Haaretz published direct testimony from the perpetrators. mondoweiss.net/2025/07/pale... #Palestine #Israel
