Your homework. inthesetimes.com/article/toni...

Survival isn't a win; not even close. It's a burden that I’m forced to carry, piece by piece, memory by memory, day after day, one word at a time, something I feel in my chest, my bones, my coffee—a heaviness that never goes away. It's messy, twisted, something both holy and haunted. I’ve tasted it

Why Am I Still Here?

I’m left with pieces of a life I no longer recognize. How do you keep going when there’s nothing whole to hold onto?

Coloniality buries you in detritus. It locks you into the one-notedness of itself and the absolute boundaries that it sets for you. However, you exceed these boundaries constantly. And the part of you that is more than these boundaries notices its enclosures. #DionneBrand #BlackSky

Resharing a short piece I wrote a couple months ago based on some thinking I’ve been doing for the introduction to my dissertation. I share my reflections on researching Indigenous stories as a settler scholar & the necessarily unsettling irresolvable nature of these entanglements. t.co/h6Jp0Mc47c

Standing up to settler colonialism. Visceral and powerful.

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

On here after ages and excited to share my first publication, co-authored with the wonderful Meraiah Foley (not on bsky), in @icsjournal.bsky.social (open access), where we unpack important questions on the gendered imaginary of cybersecurity careers doi.org/10.1080/1369...

A reading list of 15 articles, made open access by Journal of Palestine Studies. Articles provide historical context and analysis of the 17-year Israeli blockade of Gaza. #Polisky www.tandfonline.com/journals/rpa...

There is a playbook.

Gaza has been levelled every year without fail for the 18 years ive been an adult. Every palestinian i speak to or hear is so shocked at what is happening. There’s nothing left to say and yet there is so much to say.

Israel bombed a hospital after saying this, publicly. After the BBC “wondered out loud” whether Hamas was hiding in tunnels under hospitals and schools. A hospital. A hospital. A hospital.
