Semester 2 2021 was dumpster bin fire (and that’s putting it mildly) but my students and colleagues thought I might have helped some people learn something and that’s not a small thing.

In 16 years of power, Angela Merkel did not appoint any of her relatives to a state position. Germany said goodbye to its leader, physicist and quantum chemist, who was not tempted by fashion or lights and did not buy real estate, cars, yachts and private jets.

A sizeable percentage (29,7%, the internet tells me) of those who live in Australia were born overseas. Pretending that travelling overseas is some sort of cosmopolitan luxury that we can go without indefinitely is cruel, disproportionate and more than a bit dog-whistle-y.

Interesting new paper that provides evidence in favor of @IsabellaMWeber 's claim that public spending will help stopping the success of far-right AfD in Germany (ht @Valwe_ ). But what's important, is that she didn't come up with this herself, others had to provide it for her.

Roosvelt were apoplectic and the NAACP even wrote a denunciation of the petition following a direct request from the State Department. The accusations were deemed 'ridiculous' even though many Jim Crow supporters had opposed ratification of the GC fearing that 'destroy in part'

jokes aside, a feminism that has no analytical tools or political interest in thinking about and opposing this as a gendered wrong is of no interest to me.

Never, ever forget: those saying we should not judge racists by today's standards erase resistance to racism and empire. This, of course, predominantly came of the colonised and racialised themselves. However, there have always been critics at home too.

If universities were serious about gender equality, they would ask for references (for hires, promotion, tenure) etc not only (or primarily) by fancy profs but by peers and even junior scholars. Much of the work women (and esp. WOC, Indigenous women, queer women) perform 1/2

Unpopular (surprisingly?!) opinion: peer-review is good even if it ends up being occasionally harsh or even unfair. Every single thing that I have written got better after peer-review and this includes the times I bitched about the comments for weeks (as is our god-given right).
