Lilian Hellman wrote that Hollywood responded to the "wild charges of Joe McCarthy with the force and courage of a bowl of mashed potatoes." Universities were just as weak. This 1986 @bostonreview.bsky.social article explains how it went down step-by-step. www.bostonreview.net/articles/rea...

Yikes. This is here in Ontario.

The third roundtable in the online Minerals series is just a week away! "Extraction and Forms of Representation" features a stellar line-up: Adelene Buckland, @juliaditter.bsky.social, Charlotte Rogers, @nathankhensley.bsky.social There's still time to register: www.eventbrite.ie/e/minerals-r...

Want to be clear moves like this show how little power they have; we should not feel defeated. Materials in a museum like NMAAHC were fugitive for most of U.S. history. Ordinary folks collected, archived, studied, recorded these knowledges. Attacking institutionalization is bad but can't erase us.

jokes on you freaks, i’m only going to adhere to life and love the world even more

AI art is the aesthetic of fascism

#EE2023 was an accessible, well-organized, and fascinating interdisciplinary conference at @energy-ethics.bsky.social. I hope to return for 2026 - share the CFP far and wide!

!!! No Other Land director Hamdan Ballal is free and going home

If Mark Carney wins a majority by running a Red Tory campaign, eating the CPC’s lunch and still dummying the NDP, can we agree the left in Canada needs a page one rewrite?

Zuck said Meta is in a "partnership" with White House; Google is following suit. They are all that stand between you and Trump admin data grabs. Here's a resource collection of non-US services to replace email, search, docs, music, video, backups, and more: www.wired.com/story/trump-...

For those in Toronto, on Monday, March 24 at 4 pm, I'll be speaking on the UN and international legal response to South African apartheid vis-a-vis Palestinian apartheid at York University, alongside the amazing Professor Ahmed Abushaban. Drop by! Registration: laps.apps01.yorku.ca/machform/vie...

I wrote about Columbia's complicity in genocide, fascism, and state violence, how liberal humanist values provide cover for imperial interests, and how "supporting students" exceeds the parameters of academic professionalization. www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/colu...

Time for Canadian universities to put out travel statements …

Lots of exciting things are happening at #EH! More to come about that soon. For now, enjoy our latest offering from Dominique Arsenault re: "Hydrogen in the Fossil Fuel Landscape." www.energyhumanities.ca/news/hydroge...

Do that thing you know that you need to do that only you and your communities can. ❤️

Mahmoud Khalil writing from a Louisiana detention center: "I have always believed that my duty is not only to liberate myself from the oppressor, but also to liberate my oppressors from their hatred and fear."

'sold as slave labor to El Salvador' is I honestly think a fair way of describing it

Bringing botanical illustrations and pressed plants to your feed 🌿 We recently hosted colleagues working across Cambridge collections with Collections-Connections-Communities to celebrate the launch of their Natural History Humanities research programme: loom.ly/C8reZbo @camglamresearch.bsky.social

There are powerful institutions in the USA and Canada who want to see everyone opposing this thrown in jail.

🧵 Israel has resumed its genocide in Gaza. After weeks of systematically violating ceasefire agreements, Israel launched massive airstrikes across Gaza overnight, targeting homes, hospitals, and shelters for displaced civilians.

no words.

maybe we'll see you next Monday ✨ centerforthehumanities.org/event/the-po...

We had a good NYC Public Library Action Network meeting yesterday afternoon and I am so very encouraged by the work that we are trying to do together. People are jumping in how they can & it really gives me fuel.

“Leftists cannot tolerate other ideas” said the people who disappear their political enemies

Yep.

Just when Trump’s tariffs pose the greatest threat in history to Canadian workers, Mark Carney chose to eliminate the Minister of Labour, a position that’s existed since 1909. It’s a brazen move to sideline labour unions but give Bay Street a front row seat. rabble.ca/politics/can...

Fascism, by its very nature, is obsessed with cultural control. The MAGA movement’s newfound interest in the arts prefigures an even more ominous turn.

Oh no, the Institute of Museums and Library Services!! IMLS has supported incredible, important, and innovative work in museums.

IMLS is under attack. They’ve been instrumental in digital humanities and GLAM. Make noise, spread the word, call your reps. IMLS co-funded my 1st NEH grant, which later became the Digital Ethnic Futures Consortium & introduced 1000s of students of color to DH. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Columbia University’s immediate submission & betrayal of the core mission of higher education reflects cowardice and capitulation to a government that appears intent on destroying US higher education. Full statement from AAUP President Todd Wolfson: www.aaup.org/news/cowardi...

i think for many of us in higher ed the last almost two years - doing our jobs which require care and walling into class and smiling at students - under conditions of genocide has been soul destroying. Has been for me for sure. But something really broke in me after mahmoud’s kidnapping…

Free Mahmoud Khalil

There is so much bad news on micro and macro levels lately, I will share a little personal win. Here is a sneak peek at a very early dummy of the interior layout for my book "The House Archives Built, and Other Thoughts on Black Archival Possibility," upcoming from @wehere.bsky.social press.

Rebuilding a powerful labor movement is THE key to defeating Trumpism & the billionaires Had a great conversation about the stakes & potential of widescale worker-to-worker organizing with @gabrielwinant.bsky.social on the new episode of @thedigradio.bsky.social thedigradio.com/podcast/work...
