Folks, you need to read this essay #AcademicSky #skystorians. @rmesch.bsky.social, one of my fave writers (& past coauthor) writes about the TERRIBLE MENTOR she survived - & with great humanity calls for such power trips to END. It's 🔥💔💌 throughout. "What Do We Do With Monstrous Mentors?"

This entire discourse feels like gaslighting. Yes antisemitism exists on the left and appears to have spiked since Oct 7. But anti-Arab and anti-Islamic prejudice ALSO EXIST and are major contributing factors to an ONGOING CAMPAIGN OF MASS MURDER. Why is 99% of media concern aimed at the former?

A brilliant work on French revolutionary universalism & its legacies: “Tracing the Revolution's long-term legacy, she suggests that while it spread concepts of equality and liberation throughout the world, its ideals also helped to justify colonialism and conquest.” @drsepinwall.bsky.social
