“In Ireland, data centers consume more than 20 percent of the country’s electricity. In Chile, precious aquifers are in danger of depletion. In South Africa, where blackouts have long been routine, data centers are further taxing the national grid.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/t...

My take on this: 1. We have a hearing in the High Court 12/13 November. The EHRC has already substantially rolled back on where it was and, I think, is in some trouble. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/398...

Very good news from the east of Germany, where the far-right (AfD) has its strongest base - the AfD got soundly defeated in two mayoral elections, in places where they were trying to use the presence of people seeking asylum as a decisive issue. Many voters rejected that outlook. That's hopeful.

These are the utterly heaven-sent people who publish the historical A-Zs of London, so if you write London-set historicals, you want to follow!

My Next 3 Reads … 📖 ‘The Spirit Of The Rainforest’ By #DrRosaVasquezEspinoza ‘refuge’ By @profsunnysingh.bsky.social ‘Fiesta’ By #DanielStables I can’t wait! 🤗📚 All @stanfordstravel.bsky.social

Honoured to be featured on one of my favourite podcasts, The Diverse Bookshelf. We covered a lot: books, writing, history, politics and more. It was intense but also nourishing and fun. Give it a listen: thediversebookshelf.buzzsprout.com/2021069/epis... #Refuge: Stories of War (and Love)

Absolutely. We will never forget. #freepalestine

We mourn. We rest. We renew our strength and commitment. Then we turn up again and again and again. Until liberation and accountability. We won’t forget. We won’t forgive. We can’t. For all our sakes! #FreePalestine

“Essential reading, and not the sort of book you just read once and then move on.”

Refuge: Stories of War (and Love) by Sunny Singh @profsunnysingh.bsky.social launched at @stanfordstravel.bsky.social bookshop in Covent Garden by an overjoyed author and her publisher @bonnierbooksuk.bsky.social Essential reading, and not the sort of book you just read once and then move on.

Thank you 💜💜

Can we all just now admit that over 20 years on from the September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers, Osama bin Laden definitively won the the ‘war on terror’. The US is now demonstrably weaker, more divided, animated by more strident extremism, and governed by their own version of the Taliban.

I’m quoted in The Nation in this very sharp essay by Arman Amin about the failings of institutional neutrality at the institution, Vanderbilt, led by one of the idea’s most impassioned evangelizers. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

It’s quite easy to cling to free speech absolutism when you are not the target of a promised ethnic cleansing. The “marketplace of ideas” is a legitimising myth for such politics of annihilation, and “debating” ethno-nationalism is nothing more than the gamification of another’s humanity.

Looking forward to speaking with readers about #Refuge: Stories of War (and Love). Some more dates to be added and tickets are for sale now for most of these. Would be wonderful to see as many of you as possible (Will add links for events in replies)

Coming up tomorrow: Identity, Integrity and Solidarity: Words for Palestine. @AlnaouqA and I discuss the shaping of identities and the humanisation of Palestinians, and the ethics and importance of global solidarity, in the face of genocide. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/identity-i...

You can always rely on British Quakers to oppose unjust laws. Quakers in Britain has applied to intervene in the judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, saying the ban has undermined their freedom of religion. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

The Crimson, scooping every news outlet not run by undergraduates working in between classes, gets into how court orders mandating return of research funding have been flaunted, and makes a clear case for contempt proceedings against DOGE officials. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Consistently, student journalists do the best work holding their institutions accountable.

Egyptian activist and blogger Alaa Abdel Fattah resumed a full hunger strike on September 1 following unfulfilled promises made to him by national security officers that he would be released within days after his removal from the terrorist list. He is only drinking water. #FreeAlaa

Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.

I mentioned it in dispatches in a couple of my recent podcasts, too. It’s so good!

Review of #Refuge: Stories of War (and Love) in Singapore’s Strait Times: “Singh is committed to exploring the human cost of conflict through intimate character studies rather than battlefield narratives.” www.straitstimes.com/life/arts/su...
