New article alert!

The exploits of the ΚΏudhrΔ« lovers JamΔ«l and Buthayna are well known, full of potential for romance and scandal and violence. This article asks how such celebrated stories read differently when read with an eye to Buthayna’s experiences instead of JamΔ«l’s performances

The sooner we collectively realize that Elon Musk is a shitposting, conspiracy-addled fool, who needs to stay out of public policy not upend it, the safer we’ll all be.

This place isn’t hugely football focused, true, but at least it’s not run by a fascist

This place still feels a bit small, not football focused, but maybe we could try and connect Arsenal fans at least.

If you are an Arsenal fan, leave a reply, people can follow, also please repost or whatever it's called her and hopefully it can spread. #arsenal

Notes on Fighting Trumpism - Boston Review To mobilize the abandoned working class, we need to revive the idea of solidarity.

"We have to revive the idea of solidarity, and this requires a revived class politics: not a politics that evades the racism and misogyny that pervades American life but one that confronts it directly."

Here is a fascinating article by Fara Dabhoiwala in the LRB about the 18c Afro-Jamaica polymath Francis Williams (c, 1690-c. 1770). Brilliant detective work on the level of Carlo Ginsburg. And it has a Benjamin Lay connection!
