this is a corner store uncle. spends every evening smoking marlboro golds and drinking tea with sweaty men outside the store, then you find out one day he’s an electrical engineer or olympic marksman
South Korea sent a fully-kitted out player for the Olympic shooting. Turkey sent an guy with no specialized lenses, eye cover or ear protection and got the silver medal

we desperately need more movement histories which study much loved radical projects that utterly failed. analyzing why & chronicling this w/ honest critique to build towards something better. we need this done not only by enemies but by people who sincerely believe(d) in them.

so beautiful to me that TTC wait times don’t actually mean anything and are shown purely to make us question our own understanding of how time flows. is four minutes really four minutes or is it 10 minutes? is it 23 seconds? that’s for us to discover together

We interrupt the genocide to condemn political violence
I am shocked by the shooting at the 45th President of the U.S. Donald Trump. I pray for his speedy recovery. Violence can never ever be part of politics.

There’s an assumption that the only way professors can be involved in activism or organizing is as “scholar-activists,” when, like anybody, including other workers, they could just be involved.

"I've been martyred, right?" After 9 months of detainment in Israeli prisons – better described as torture centers – 37 year old Moaziz Abayad was released in shocking condition, revealing the inhumane conditions imposed on Palestinian prisoners by the Israeli occupation. His story and voice represent the thousands kept in these inconceivable conditions, which have continued to deteriorate as Israel has escalated its brutal measures against them.

The deep history of white guys saying inshallah
One enduring feature of the rise of academic oriental studies in Europe in the seventeenth century: the enthusiastic appropriation of “inshallah” (if God wills) by Arabic learners. Here, in a 1667 letter from Edmund Castell to Samuel Clarke. British Library, ms Add. 22905.

Was looking at a lifelong friend recently when I suddenly saw her as an adult woman. It was just a flicker, a glimpse of a stranger, and then she went back to herself. Strange, I hadn’t realised before that in my head we’re still children

Really interesting - Columbia students arrested at Hind's Hall are not accepting the deals offered to them as long as students from CUNY and City College don't get the same deals.
In a show of solidarity with those facing the most extreme repression across the pro-Palestine movement, Hind's Hall arrestees who have been offered deals by the DA have chosen not to accept them. Press conference at 4pm today @ 100 Centre St in Manhattan

A powerful graduation ceremony for the thousands of Palestinian students who won't graduate this year. Organized by students demanding the University of Toronto divest from companies and cut ties with institutions complicit in genocide. Their encampment is in its second month.
