An appeal to folks on this platform…pls consider supporting grassroots mutual aid work regularly in Palestine, Congo and Sudan. I recommend @friendsofthecongo.org.web.brid.gy and @workshops4gaza.bsky.social and @sdnsolidarity.bsky.social but there are so many others too! Bcm a monthly donor! (1/2)

We have three urgent requests today: 1. Contribute to a trusted org or individual fundraiser. Don't keep scrolling.. We know that the many requests can get overwhelming - like your contribution won't make a dent. But we have strength in numbers. Here is one: chuffed.org/project/1132...

Palestinians Stand in Solidarity with Anti-ICE Protestors. Let's escalate boycott and divestment campaigns against companies complicit in ICE's brutal oppression of immigrant rights in the US and in Israel's genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. bdsmovement.net/news/palesti...

Our giving circle transfers funds directly to 6 families + a mutual aid team and isn’t involved in how that money is used, because Palestinians know best what they need & how to get it. But here’s a glance at SOME of the ways the funds are used. Give 👉🏾 tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCi...

Excited to be presenting at this conference!

'A new landmark book celebrating Māori art has clocked up a couple of impressive firsts: not only is it the most comprehensive account of creative work by Indigenous New Zealanders ever published, it is also the first wide-ranging art history written entirely by Māori scholars.'

Tomorrow is the WCC’s virtual conference! Should be good! The program looks great! www.wccclassics.org/wcc-virtual-...

Tomorrow Cambridge University will go to the High Court seeking to impose an unprecedented ban on protests in solidarity with Palestine from key sites of the university. This is a major assault on longstanding principles of freedom of expression and assembly on campus. (1/8)

We launched the Society for the Study of the Past yesterday at our Palestine event - a response to the fact that our disciplinary associations have failed us. It’s already looking like the only club I want to be in… More coming soon, but for now check it out here: societyforthestudyofthepast.com

This is today!!

🚨Join us on zoom on Feb. 18 for an urgent conversation in solidarity w 🇵🇸 on the theme "In the Ruins of History" w Fadel Alutol @gmandreou.bsky.social Yasmeen Elkhoudary Marc-André Haldimann, Atalia Omer @aditilrao.bsky.social Ali Shahwan, S. Sayyid & @luxmea.bsky.social rsvp: tinyurl.com/nhd8n34h

Thanks so much for speaking to us @tigerlilyrocks.bsky.social and putting us in contact with all the great people at Wikipedia!

Extremely excited to being speaking at the upcoming raceb4 race symposium on Indigeneity next week at ASU!! Really grateful to be able to engage in this type of work with so many amazing scholars and thinkers.

Gearing up for this upcoming Wikipedia Edit-a-thon I got to help co-organize with @solveighilmars.bsky.social and others! We're taking registration and suggested topics until Thursday! www.tickettailor.com/events/crass...

there are lots of places to donate and participate in mutual aid. one to consider is Altadena's seed bank - a project which under normal circumstances aims at free seed exchange for equity and education in land stewardship - but now also aimed at reseeding Altadena with native plants

any and all advice for writing a conclusion for a dissertation would be welcome rn

Feels weird that on Thanksgiving I officially signed the contract for my contribution to the Cambridge Companion on Classics and Race. My chapter is called "Navigating Classics and Negotiating Indigeneity from Aristotle to the Present"

Post this on the other site but we're taking submissions until Friday 💫 Please reach out if you have any questions!! resdifficiles.com/rez-diff-ind...

Please reach out if you're interested!!

wow, about to finish the first chapter I started my first year of the phd. time flies!!

So excited to be working on this with everyone. Please feel free to reach out 💫

can't believe an institution that billed part of its restructuring as centering Indigenous knowledge has the audacity to be so hostile and call the same cops that contribute to violence in humboldt (i can believe this but pissed this isn't part of the conversation around cal poly humboldt)

The #AIASCS Annual Meeting is coming up! Volunteer to help the Sportula by hanging out at our awesome booth! Pros: Amazing company, free snacks, time to scope out the good books in the book room. Cons: None.

working on a paper that I'll be presenting at scs but also that will form the intro of my PhD. it was so easy last week to think about it as an scs talk and now this week it feels way more convincing as an intro and not a stand alone thing

this is def me asking for help w/ work maybe I could do but I'm a bit out of my comfort zone/don't know where to look. Does anyone know if we still have Sepúlveda's latin translation of Aristotle's Politics?
