Dr. Adrian De Leon puts so perfectly what has been inescapable in the recent media coverage (and, unfortunately, much of the academic and policy discourse, too).

Moreover, as a historian of residential schooling, he is wrong to suggest the wrongs were because of "big, overpowering governments." In fact, Macdonald's government in the 1880s was comparably small but determined to create genocidal policies to facilitate settler capitalism.

I don’t want a hug. I want a permanent ceasefire and a free Palestine.
Eylon Levy@EylonALevy
If you have Jewish friends, please give them a hug. Send them a message to check if they’re ok. We are all crushed.

I remember the confused look when I asked, on my first day of a postdoc, when my computer would come
erisa@erisaonX
I wonder: why don't PhD students or postdocs get work laptops? I haven't heard that being a thing anywhere but it sounds like it should be.

1/ This is the most persistent myth of academia I have encountered in my career: there is no disinterested position from which to objectively study/teach history, culture, etc. You have to be white to believe this. The medieval university we inherited was political & still is.
Alexandra Wilson@amwilson_opera
I have long been uneasy about a growing compulsion for academics to bring political agendas into teaching and research. (I believe political views are private and that the lecturer has no right to use their platform for propaganda.) Turns out I wasn't just imagining this.
