The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

In 2023, I was a Visiting Fellow at @antrelclaottawa.bsky.social. Got to experience the department as a world class center for our discipline (especially Late Antiquity). University management now wants to axe their honours programme. Please consider signing and sharing this petition for support:

*checks further notes* So, on a scale of I to X, how confident are you that you can engineer and then win a civil war?

Please help.

It's such a drag that people think about Roman history and immediately think "right wing asshole" You're missing out on some of the greatest, most fascinating knowledge in the entire world if you write them off. Learn about Roman history!

Despair is the weapon of the enemy. I see so much of it on social media, saying nothing matters, all is lost, and hope is foolish. I disagree. I refuse to believe the battle for equality and liberation is over and we lost. I REFUSE.

Please don’t forget that Palestinians are still in great need of support - they are still displaced, without food and medical supplies.

Welcome to the UK! It’s a country e where the government values violent, racist football hooligans from overseas than its local communities and obsessive child abusers more than its trans population…

It’s hard enough to deal with the loss of a pet…I cannot imagine doing so during a genocide. Please send over some kind words - and also support them at their fundraiser. www.gofundme.com/f/help-aseel...

Appreciate the kind words about the Reform news but as of now, I’m fine. Our friends in Gaza are not, however, and could really use the help - so if you’ve arrived at my account via my other posts, please consider sharing and donating to help Mitqual’s family - www.gofundme.com/f/help-mitqu...

Cancelled my Academia account. The abombinable 'intelligences' shan't have my work to train on, and perhaps I can get fewer emails asking if I've suddenly produced a paper on molecular biology or polymer engineering out of thin air that I want to take credit for...

Shadi makes a good point about my poor joke - Palestinians are struggling to get the things we take for granted while they survive under the genocide our tax dollars facilitate. Please donate if you can to help Shadi’s son: www.gofundme.com/f/67ff3a-sav...

Nothing screams "First day back on the job", like urging colleagues everywhere to delete their Academia Dot Edu pages. Which I'm about to do myself as soon as I got coffee in me.

The reason for the anger at posting Kirk’s words is simply that we are entering a fascistic world where the truth is dangerous and lies become facts. It is literally how fascism sustains itself. Turning bigots into martyrs and innocent people into criminals. And that’s why saying the truth matters.

I know there’s a lot happening right now but please keep sharing (and more importantly, donating!) to fundraisers - most Palestinians I am in contact with have received evacuation orders in the past few weeks and the financial burden that causes (transport, shelter) is life-threatening.

BREAKING 🚨 The updated EHRC Code of Practice has now been sent to the Government. The Code is just as bad as we feared. It would mean a mandatory trans bathroom ban, and trans people's exclusion from public life. The impact would be devastating. But politicians still have time to stop this.

I have a new article out today in Public Humanities, where I try to find some words for how historicide is (and has always been) a project of European colonialism - and I try to find some words for the historians who continue to support it. 🇵🇸✊🏻 Open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I'm genuinely disturbed. I'm living in a country that is passionate about defending the 'free speech' of those who would incite violence against minorities, but equally passionate about arresting people for calling a genocide a genocide.

Everyone is rushing to defend Graham Linehan as some martyr to free speech but don't actually state what he tweeted. He explicitly called for people to violently assault trans women in the bathroom. In another instance, he cyberstalked a trans minor. He's legitimately a danger to trans people.

The UK: saying the word 'Palestine' means you will be arrested and your name forever marked on a list of dangerous terrorists Also the UK: a hate criminal got in trouble for calling for violence against a vulnerable minority? this is an absolute outrage
