A good time to read @lalehkhalili.bsky.social's book 'Sinews of War and Trade: Shipping and Capitalism in the Arabian Peninsula'.

I finally received my visa! I'll be a Visiting Research Scholar at NYU's Department of Social & Cultural Analysis this fall. I'll be working on my new project on environmental racism/repro health in London, but I'd be more than happy to also speak about Palestine/repro injustice in your class/uni

I always feel this weird mixture of grief-cum-pride, both an analytical grasp of class and an intimate affective reaction, whenever I understand that people who are my age and have extremely productive academic careers have most likely grown up to parents who are also writers/professors/academics
