It’s better for liberal academics to post long-ass threads about their boring research and to pretend to be “the good people”.

We launched the Society for the Study of the Past yesterday at our Palestine event - a response to the fact that our disciplinary associations have failed us. It’s already looking like the only club I want to be in… More coming soon, but for now check it out here: societyforthestudyofthepast.com
19.02.2025 07:41 — 👍 73 🔁 44 💬 3 📌 4The treatment of our colleague Dr Rana Baker is unacceptable. Dr Baker is a serious scholar and a fine person, calling her a “terrorist” is immoral and libellous. We need to stand up for academic freedom ✊🍉

I’ll start by plugging my last press article for @uk.theconversation.com about queer soldiers in the war in Ukraine: theconversation.com/ukraines-lgb...
Why doesn’t the media report that gay Chechens are forcibly sent to die in Ukraine?
Solidarity with queers of all nationalities 🏳️🌈 and Ukraine 🇺🇦
