Of course my final tweet has a typo in it that I can’t edit. Seems appropriate.

*deep breath* Okay, tweeps, this is it. I’ve deleted all of my 148k tweets going back to 2008 so they can’t be monetized for open fascism under the new Terms of Service, nor to fed to AI models that hurt creators and the environment. Find me here: bsky.app/profile/kejame…

I will beat this drum until my hands bleed: the treatment that could have saved your child’s life during the next pandemic will not be made because cranks who believe vaccines are a soros plot to implant microchips will be in charge of the CDC and FDA if Republicans win.

RFK Jr: “I’m going to be deeply involved in helping to choose the people who run FDA, NIH, and CDC. I’ll bring in people to run those agencies like Calley Means, Casey Means.” Tucker Carlson: “They have nightmares about that.” RFK: “Yeah, they should.”

has anyone set up their own writing retreat for themselves? like a few days away somewhere. I feel like if I could just get somewhere & focus solely on the book I could get this done. if you did, was it worth it?

can academics who've finished a book please offer some encouragement or advice? I just don't know that I have what it takes to finish & I need the book for tenure. I read what I have & I just don't think it's good or important & the work it'd take to get there feels unmanageable.

If you’re in the US, chances are no mainstream media outlet in your area has told you South Africa is at the World Court suing Israel for violating the 1948 Genocide Convention with its current campaign of genocide and mass displacement of Palestinians in Gaza.
Some key notes ⬇️
Alonso Gurmendi@Alonso_GD
5 Key points of South Africa's presentation: 1) Israeli officials meant what they said when they uttered genocidal statements and were understood as such by troops. One cannot therefore argue that they are being misconstrued.

shame is so destructive—& it breeds in silence. I believe w all my heart that being open & vulnerable creates better worlds
