BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures.

We're shocked to hear that another @KingsCollegeLon alumnus-Dr Adnan Al-Bursh, head of orthopaedics at Al Shifa Hospital-was killed in an Israeli prison after +4 months of detention & torture. How long will KCL refuse to condemn Israel's genocide in Gaza & to stop its complicity?

Was delighted to have written this review for @LAReviewofBooks about women in biblical narratives and how stories create realities!
“Where Eve is gifted a rich internal life,” @godelievedebree writes in her review of Carmen Boullosa’s “The Book of Eve,” “Adam is one-dimensional and pathetic until he proves to be downright degenerate.” lareviewofbooks.org/article/…
