Swedish man sentenced for involvement in neo-Nazi group A Swedish court sentenced 20-year-old Emil Erdin to 1.5 years in prison for helping build a local branch of the neo-Nazi Maniac Murder Cult terrorist organization. www.jpost.com/internationa...

Restrict abortion. Undermine contraception. Encourage higher birth rates. Restrict immigration. End birthright citizenship. Only allow white South African refugees in. The underlying logic behind all of this is eugenics and white supremacy.

Heat is a feminist issue. Heat is a disability rights issue. Heat is definitely a class issue. Heat is also definitely experienced by racialized minorities in extreme ways. In India, heat is a caste issue. Extreme heat reveals the fissures in societies and who we are willing to ‘let die’

Lots of thoughts on how empires have systemically fostered the spread of diseases and epidemics as tools of genocide and colonial expansion

Ladies, get ready for hysteria to make a comeback.

The personal consequences are the most important thing here, but it is worth mentioning that Exeter is a major hub for Arabic/Islamic studies. Following on from Lancaster, Kent and Nottingham, our country's ability to talk intelligently about religion is being erased as religious prejudice rises.

A really interesting paper on the (mis)use of the biopsychosocial model. Interesting, thorough, policy-oriented. 🧪 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Surprise. The Montreal Police shooter is a alt-right Albertan and apparent incel. Well, that's not actually a surprise now is it? The province is rife with politicians radicalizing youth and creating hatemongering turds. They're now exporting their killers www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Proofs time! For a chapter in a forthcoming book with Brill

we love @maiakotro.bsky.social's work around here. and omg her prose is exquisite.

The Trump admin is creating a culture of disbelief in the US when it comes to sexual abuse/rape, which is identified as grooming in other contexts by scholars from the U of Alberta. The media needs to start reporting on it instead of being complicit. www.ualberta.ca/en/folio/202...

You do not understand feminism.

I thought this was on Point….

KIck all these white men setting back human rights for Indigenous people, POC, women and LGBTIQ+ to the curb.

One of the most disturbing recent trends in online extremism is the rise in cases of disturbingly dystopian misanthropic & nihilist networks encouraging self-harm, suicide, child sexual abuse, animal abuse & murder among young people. This is a good explainer: revontulet.co/insights/53q...

Add the cost of buying gluten-free foods to cost calculations. I pay $9 for a loaf of bread. Whole foods cost a fortune these days. 3 strip loin steaks were $46 at one grocery store.

Please break their backs

Also let me recommend historian Annette Gordon Reed’s “On Juneteenth” for your summer reading list. I felt vindicated reading that Reed, a Texan, always saw Juneteenth as a Texas celebration. Her dive into the complicated history of Texas, slavery, integration & this holiday is riveting.

MAID should never be supported as a last resort to escape social conditions that promote & exacerbate mental illness. Psychiatric diagnoses are higher among non-whites exposed to colonialism & institutionalized racial discrimination. We need to deal with it, especially entrenched racism in medicine.

"Our findings indicate that LLMs can reinforce or exacerbate existing gender imbalances in scholarly recognition." They also found that prompt mitigation strategies were not especially effective.

I know this is a touchy subject, but traditional news has paywalls. social media does not. this has been inevitable.

The HPV Vaccine pretty well wipes out the risk of cervical cancer when given to girls says this UK study

"I've wanted to die since I was 11!" To be clear, my interview with CTV news that aired nationally, was 10 minutes long. They cut three or four shocking sentences out and cut out all my basic income, hope and vulnerable coercion talk. youtube.com/watch?v=bGCL...

I'm waiting for a second round of antibiotics to kick in for a raging ear infection. This song came to mind while scrolling through news on Bluesky. Happy hump day. 🙂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETxm...

As I walked away, I had another funny feeling. What if this "book" and his entire "experiment" is funded by an AI company? This is exactly the kind of "scholarship" tech bro overlords want -- influential academics, preferably men, telling the rest of us that we are now useless in the age of AI.

I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +

Heard this rhetoric in criticism over Kamala in the US and it turns out Trumpism is worse.

Regret, especially among young women, is higher in the literature. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

no really, i’m serious, why am i paying taxes if a trillionaire is getting billions and billions of dollars from the government? i can’t stop asking myself this question…

RFK Jr demanded the *retraction* of a 20 yr Danish study that showed aluminums in vaccines do not cause health issues. The journal REFUSED saying the study has been peer-reviewed and found to have no significant flaws. Imagine asking science to un-science itself.

Thousands have turned out for an Anti-Racism rally in Belfast city centre, organised by United Against Racism and supported by Trade Unions

The largest Evangelical denomination which was rocked by allegations of sexual abuse by pastors and youth pastors has voted to formally ban women pastors. That's Evangelical Christianity in a nutshell. www.wsmv.com/2026/06/11/s...

Anaka Women's Collective are raising funds to support people who have been attacked, displaced and traumatised in racist attacks in #Belfast. Every penny raised will go to transport, emergency accommodation and urgent supplies for families. chuffed.org/project/1854...

The United Nations Declaration on The Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act became law June 21, 2021. Under the Act, the Government of Canada must work in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous Peoples. #UNDRIP #HumanRights #Indigenous #Canada

We live in an age in which our leaders are rejecting reality at every turn, which surely will have no consequences (lol). I wrote about this here and don’t love how it keeps getting more relevant. little-flying-robots.ghost.io/rejecting-re...

As Poilievre stepped on stage to address the CSFN conference in May, some of Canada’s most prominent conservatives were watching. So was an increasingly notorious “Canadian nationalist.” New for @thetyee.ca: I dig into the organized effort to make a racist movement mainstream in Canadian politics.

"A pastor at the scene where multiple houses were on fire said people were being put out of houses "because they're black". In another scene, 100 masked men made their way down a street & kicked in doors & broke windows.They said they were "getting the foreigners out"" www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...

Gendered violence is the fallout of Swedish colonialism for context, which is not captured in the news series. The Laestadian movement brought to North America by Nordic immigrants was an imposed colonial tool to assimilate Sami-Indigenous people and Finnish settlers in the Arctic.
