Wikipedia now has higher standards than all universities

I'm kind of sick and tired of seeing privileged (mostly male) senior scholars take advantage of their own privileged positions to mainstream and normalise the far right, seemingly without any shame (or consequences).

Your work is harming us all (collectively, societally, and within the discipline).

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Jeff Bezos makes enough money to fully fund this literally every two minutes.

As many have noted, this is all about misogyny. The video does not show a threat to the perpetrator; rather, it shows what he perceives as humiliation. The fact that this is so compelling to many fascists has a lot to do with perspective—we literally see the events through his eyes

Our major media orgs--even during the best of times when they're merely profit-driven outlets and not ideological mouthpieces and playthings of right-wing oligarchs--primarily serve the role of status quo managers. They rationalize & normalize elite actions & interests. They rarely defend democracy.

“the principles of international law” rather prohibit bombing countries because their leaders “lack legitimacy”.

Writing builds resilience by changing your brain, helping you face everyday challenges Resilience is often presented as feats of bravery and endurance. But everyday practices like journaling, drafting a text or even writing a to-do list are manifestations of a capacity to adapt.

Writing doesn't just help you process your thoughts.

Neuroscientists have found it physically changes your brain in ways that build resilience and help you handle everyday stress and challenges.

Workers, students, citizens across Italy united in a general strike to protest the genocide. Bravi Italiani!

Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza hospital A hospital strike in southern Gaza has killed at least eight people, including four journalists. The attack happened on Monday.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.

She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

Jučer je 250 ljudi s Al Jazeere Balkans završilo na ulici. Prije nekoliko mjeseci, s N1 su otpušteni mnogi sjajni novinari. Na HRT-u se javni novac troši kako bi se otjerali upravo oni koji najbolje rade. Većina ljudi u medijima potplaćena je, radi u prekarijatu i trpi stalne uvrede, prijetnje.

Almost half million people attended a fascist singer's concert in Zagreb. Ministers congratulated on a successful event and media called it a spectacle. City was full of fascist symbols and slogans, not sanctioned because "there was too many people", according to the police. youtu.be/wu3Ulo63jn4?...
