A report examining anti-Palestinian racism in Australian schools has been released on Friday. The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) analysed more than 80 testimonies, but said the responses only scratched the surface of the issue.

The first book of next semester looks sick ngl

The last book of the semester is a cross-cultural comparison of different forms of inside and outside money written by a guy who did seances in the museum where he oversaw a rapidly accumulating colonial hoard, can't recommend it enough

Martin's class actually starts two weeks later on the 28th, and we'll be dealing with the murkiness of origins

@drumm-colin.bsky.social will be leading this, the most recent addition to his series of anti-economics contributions

Joy is a scholar of human animal entanglement across and expanse of space and time your sister in law could not comprehend

It would feel good if eliminating structural violence stopped all the bad things, but there was no capitalism or scarcity caused by ecological destruction before and people still ate toddlers comunicacio.iphes.cat/cat/news/new...

People will go extraordinary lengths to soothe themselves, create elaborate frameworks around how killing their babies is justified, even necessary. One of the cognitive tricks is to suggest that it is not really a baby, but a demon, a changeling hidden by glamor or guile.

In 1837 the crew of the Portuguese schooner Arrogante killed, dismembered and cooked a teenage boy and fed his muscle to his family and community members while they ate his heart and liver. Children were the primary witnesses to the murder. brill.com/view/journal...

Yeah! The Mimbres School is an interdisciplinary school and intellectual community that operates outside of traditional academia. We run courses, reading groups, and workshops with a critical, empirical approach. We are critical of canonical texts, received wisdom, and disciplinary boundaries.

Children are actually the most important people on the planet and society should be entirely reshaped around them. Citations provided.

Techbro Futurism sells the aesthetic of a scifi solution in lieu of good policy, allowing corporations empowered by Reaganite deregulation to plunder our world. Instead of saving threatened gray wolves, we can "de-extinct" "dire wolves," axe the Endangered Species Act, and reinstate wolf culls.

"Capital Women: The European Marriage Pattern, Female Empowerment and Economic Development in Western Europe 1300-1800" shows deteriorating conditions for women and emerging dependence on volatile non-kin arrangements for support, and ends with "THAT'S WHAT MAKES US THE BEST!"

"Behold: a man!"

If you don’t look at what the Dutch visited on the rest of the planet during this period, it could sound like a win. But instead, this book frames increasing wage disparity, deteriorating living conditions, and the eradication of extended kin networks as empowerment for women.

Fuck dire wolves, we need to de-extinct the Passenger Pigeon. We have the means! They only became extinct a century ago. With the right protections and resources, they can flourish again. But biotech wants big flashy megafauna for private trophy hunting ranches.

Disney adults have been a bigger threat to national security than anybody except the white guys they’re incapable of stopping

Nobody learned anything from Jurassic Park and I’m disappointed

I have seen some hack jobs in both arenas

There are *at least* 160 Palestinian medics from Gaza being held hostage in Israeli prisons with widespread reports of torture occurring. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Don't defend books you haven't read!!!

I heard Guns, Germs, and Steel would be a bad book, but I assumed it was poorly researched and had a shaky premise. That is true, but the real problem with the book is that it naturalizes colonialism, imperialism, and genocide. Racism w/o physiognomy and intelligence. GGS is not just bad, it's evil.

The International Flipper Pinball Association, which governs ranked pinball play, just sent this email about trans inclusion and my friends this is how you do it. I'm proud to play IFPA. The end wouldn't fit in the pic. I put the full text in alt text. The message ends: "Pinball is for everyone."

Even an association whose mission is saving lives is participating in Drake's mass mrder.

Tl;dr It takes a lot of work and blood to erase maternity and undermine reproductive power

NYTimes adding insult to injury in this tragedy. The “treatment” was for autism, which isn’t a thing, and was being done by someone with no medical training who charges cash for expensive bogus therapies. And now a 5-year-old is dead because of the grift.

Banksy drops another bomb.

In the wake of Bashar al-Assad's overthrow, an ophthalmologist, the role of physicians as dictators has been raised again. The Lancet published a study a few years ago to assess this question. As it turns out, physicians are more likely to lead authoritarian governments (scientists less so!). 🧪
