This is great! I hope the board listens to its members, bans the agitator, apologizes to the WOC and trans woman on the receiving end of his violence, commits to a racism and harassment free space at confs & communication, and finally acknowledges the genocide and scholasticide in Palestine. Amen!

And there we have it. A call to boycott SCMS this year.
"BOYCOTI
SCMS 2026
FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, THE SCMS BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS REFUSED TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE PALESTINE OR DECRY ANTI-PALESTINIAN RACISM AND THE ISRAELI GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE.
INSTEAD, THE SCMS BOARD HAS:
1) IGNORED THE WISHES OF OVER 700 OF ITS MEMBERS TO MAKE A PUBLIC STATEMENT
CONDEMNING THE ISRAELI SCHOLASTICIDE AND MEDIACIDE IN PALESTINE
2) ISSUED MASS MESSAGES TO DENY THE PERPETRATION OF RACISM AND HARASSMENT BY A PRO-ISRAEL AGITATOR AT THE 2025 CONFERENCE
3) DISABLED VITAL COMMUNICATION PLATFORMS FOR CAUCUSES AND SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
4) INSTITUTED AUTHORITARIAN CHANGES TO THE ASSOCIATION'S ANNUAL ELECTION NOMINATION PROCESS WITHOUT RATIONALE OR EXPLANATION
SEND A MESSAGE TO THE BOARD.
BOYCOTT THE CONFERENCE.

On International Working Women’s Day in 2025 I’m wondering why TERFs still get to be called “radical feminists” without scare quotes around the phrase.

There appears to be a Korean... fashion brand(?) called "Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies" and I don't know what's going on any more.

The general consensus in the geopol west underscores ethic of hard work narrative as preamble for its current global position. It completely occludes colonial-capitalist exploitation & hoarding of resources that is in a large proportion responsible for planetary destruction.+
