Acting Up for Animals: A (R)evolution for the Business School Again, we see another autoethnography from a female academic talking about herself - framing herself as a victim but also ensuring that you know how smart, courageous, and caring she is. Here is one excerpt from the paper: "My tales from the field (Van Maanen, 1988) are based on autoethnographic moments, as seen through the autobiographic and personal exploring wider societal themes (Ellis, 2004) of hurt. The moments illustrate the lived experience of almost 20 years of being a vegan in the [business school], which is a distinctly non-vegan space. Opening to and sharing the vulnerable and personal in a professional space, such as an academic journal, is a challenge, yet when it comes to experiences of marginalization and injustice such an approach can help in creating affective understanding. This can be seen as an effort in decolonializing the [business school], creating an “ongoing sabotage. . .in opposition to the Master (western/white/male) traditional central subject of knowledge” (Abdallah, 2025: 396) which is still undeniably exploitative, extractive and reductive. My lived experience illustrations are analyzed through the themes of patriarchy, profit, power and privilege, as 4P’s underscoring a hidden political agenda that supports dominant groups and traditional Eurocentric humanist interests. Following ecofeminist and [Critical Animal Studies] thinking that emotions are key forms of knowledge and, rather than being fully individual, are created in political and social systems (Matsuoka and Sorenson, 2018), my language is intentionally affective and passionate to resist the overly rationalization of business-related fields."
Colin Wright@SwipeWright

A recent and very real abstract from the world of woke academia. This one says business schools are a “microcosm of the neoliberalist society upholding 4P’s of patriarchy, power, profit and privilege.” Using “autoethnographic illustrations” and a “Critical Animal Studies lens,” the author argues for a “decolonizing effort to support an interspecies agenda” and complains that one of the great injustices of our time—“the exploitation of animals”—is being hidden because animals are “absent referents” in business schools. It also says the paper will “intentionally resist the rationalized language of the field” in order to foreground the “affective and passionate, of being a vegan in a non-vegan world.” Stripped of the jargon, this appears to be a paper in which the author uses activist theory and personal experience to argue that business schools are insufficiently focused on animal oppression, and that academia should embrace a more explicitly emotional, anti-anthropocentric, vegan politics.

Carney left out of White House meeting between Trump, Zelensky, and European leaders Despite Canada sending over $10 billion in aid to Ukraine and Mark Carney speaking out strongly on its behalf, the prime minister didn't receive an invitation to the widely publicized discussions. On last night's episode of The @EzraLevant Show, Ezra discussed President Trump's meeting with President Zelensky and several leaders of Ukraine's allies as Mark Carney was notably absent. As the war between Russia and Ukraine rages on, President Trump invited several leaders of Ukraine's staunchest allies to a meeting in Washington, D.C. to discuss a potential peace agreement to end the conflict. Over half a dozen democratic leaders from France, Finland, the UK, Italy, Germany, plus the head of NATO and the head of the European Union, came to Washington, D.C., at Trump's request. Ezra questioned why the leader of Finland, a country with a population of about five million people, was invited to the meeting over Mark Carney. "I don't know if it was an animosity between Trump and Carney. It seems like Zelensky didn't lift a finger to get Mark Carney there," he said. "Doug Ford thought he would bad mouth Trump a bit more, that seems to be all Ford really does. Maybe that's part of the reason why Canada wasn't invited," Ezra continued. Just two months ago, the federal government announced $4.3 billion in additional support for Ukraine, including $2 billion in military aid and $2.3 billion for infrastructure redevelopment.

🚨🇬🇧🇨🇦 UK, CANADA: DON’T FORCE PEACE ON UKRAINE British PM Keir Starmer and Canadian PM Mark Carney say any peace deal must be made with Kyiv, not dictated to it - a clear signal ahead of Trump’s Friday meeting with Putin in Alaska. The leaders backed ongoing diplomacy but stressed Ukraine’s future must mean freedom, sovereignty, and self-determination - no deals over its head. So in other wrods: they’re fine with talks, just not at Ukraine’s expense. Source: Reuters

🇮🇹 ITALY’S DEFENSE CHIEF SAYS PUTIN AND NETANYAHU ARE ACTING ALIKE Guido Crosetto says Putin and Netanyahu are now using “dangerously similar” methods in Ukraine and Gaza. He accused Netanyahu’s government of avoiding dialogue, losing “reason and humanity,” and pushing toward a humanitarian catastrophe. Crosetto said defending a democracy is one thing but taking land and expelling people is another. Source: La Stampa, Infobae

Crystia Freeland, deputy PM to Justin Trudeau and his finance minister, has been fired. Crystia Freeland was a career "reporter" by trade. She was NEVER qualified to manage Canada's finances. She laughed and made jokes about freezing the bank accounts of Canadians during the trucker protests.

Shes not smiling now though is she ! Crystia Freeland the deputy Prime Minister of Canada and board member of the World Economic Forum joyously celebrating Waffen SS Nazi War Criminal Yaroslav Hunka. Of course now we are beginning to understand why. According to emerging reports not only is she descended from Hitler supporting Ukrainian Nazis but she had family members who were also in the same Waffen SS Ukrainian Galician Division within the Wehrmacht. Poland and Jewish groups have denounced the Waffen-SS Galicia Division for its role in killing civilians and involvement in massacres during the war in Poland. Freeland must now resign. She is a disgrace to her office and a disgrace to Canada. #Canada #WaffenSS #Ukraine#Jews #Nazi #Holocaust #Israel #Poland #Trudeau #WEF2030Agenda x.com/JimFergusonUK/…
