Friends, I am available for freelance editing and proofreading work, transcription work or even private tuitions. I am still waiting for payments for the editing and transcription work I did in Nov. So things have very stressful financially.

Trust academia (and some academics) to pull off perfect cons.

For context: a contingent academic still waiting for nearly £1200 worth of freelance academic work I have done. In addition, another senior academic thought they could get me to do development edits without advance payment. 🀬

Advice needed: how can I stay on top of my writing while dealing with problems? I have faced a rough couple of years with a nasty legal battle, ill health, financial distress and family crises. So I am finding it very hard to prioritize my writing. I really want to but it keeps getting pushed back.

We have created a Google spreadsheet to collate all the urgent calls for help from Gaza. We hope that this list will provide easy access to Palestinian people urgently looking to raise funds as well as those who wish to donate. PLEASE AMPLIFY. πŸ™

'Parasite' actor Lee Sun-kyun found dead amid investigation over drug allegations Actor Lee Sun-kyun of the Oscar-winning 'Parasite' was found dead in an apparent suicide Wednesday while facing an investigation over suspected drug use.

Lee Sun-Kyun, who played the father of the wealthy Park family in PARASITE, was found dead from suicide after being hounded by police and attacked across social media for alleged drug use. A truly horrific and tragic loss.

As expected, the "news" that water has been restored to southern Gaza was false, just something Jake Sullivan said on a TV show in response to tough questioning.

People forget is that most women of colour are never unnerved by our exclusion. On the contrary, we know that we will never be fully accepted by this white capitalist system and most of us really don't give a shit. We will continue to invade spaces whether they like it or not.

Palestinians in occupied West Bank are under Israeli lockdown Israeli authorities have placed the entire occupied West Bank under lockdown.

As settlers are murdering Palestinians in the West Bank, the apartheid regime placed Palestinians in the region on lockdown.

Home | Decolonize Palestine Welcome to Decolonize Palestine, a collection of resources for anyone who wants to learn more about Palestine.

I was reminded on Twitter that this terrific resource exists, put together by Palestinians to answer common myths and Zionist talking points and to share the history of the Palestinian cause and the conflict in Palestine. If you have any misgivings I’m sure they’re addressed. decolonizepalestine.com

I had a minor altercation with a white male academic and I still a little uncomfortable about it. But now I have to attend something where he would be there. Anyone has tips on how to navigate academic egos and hold your own?
