If you are in Lagos, Nigeria in January and into films, there are a few screenings and a film workshop coming up by Monangambee. Always a pleasure to curate with these folks 💜 January 10, 2025 is Unsettled Grounds on landscape, labor, ecology and the afterlives of colonialism

An extremely dark photographic image in which individual elements are difficult to make out, but presents silhouetted trees against a lighter background, perhaps including a body of water

Liberals and fake ass radicals trust science until it’s the thousands of medical research/journal publications outlining the impacts of repeat COVID infections, the limitations of vaccines, and the effectiveness of masking.

Decisions have been made by @timeshighered.bsky.social to still use 'sub-saharan' despite a huge body of work by academics showing that this is very much a racialised/racist label. One day we will all see that *all* the lists they create, work to maintain white supremacism.

where freedom and self-attainment is largely materialized through indebtedness, where the moral panics of austerity are resulting in assaults against social reproduction, and where the territorial coherences of urban life extend beyond discernible shape and relationalities.

I wrote my first letter of recommendation the other day, and while I’m happy to be now in a position to support people this way, especially marginalized students, this outdated patronage system, rife with inequities & abuse, seriously needs to go.

Speaking as an expert on transphobia and the gender critical movement: Block them. Hide replies. Report them. Do not "debate" them. The fact that they are campaigning so hard against blocking and in favour of debate/their right to harassment should tell you - it serves their interests to engage.

Spent my entire day in the German embassy for my visa appointment. From 9am to 4pm. No phones allowed, couldn’t go out to get a snack, couldn’t reschedule the appointment. Felt like I was in jail. It's ridiculous that we have to go through so much stress just to travel for work.

Panel with Veronica Gago, Felipe Magalhães, Chrystel Oloukoï, Abdoumaliq Simone. Scholars gathered in front of the Bolivian MUSEF, in La Paz.

The whiteness of many of these starter packs is quite the confession. Area studies as ongoing Cold War era colonial projects.
