If you're wondering whether academics have written on 'asylum hotels', I can point you in the direction of Martina Tazzioli's work on refugee carcerality & value extraction in the UK, Greece & Italy. See esp. section on financialised asylum accommodation in the UK.

I went to China in early September and kept accidentally seeing and reading things that all seemed to relate to the Second World War in some way - I tried to write about it

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Speechless.

Flora Renz · Law’s searching for biological truth: For Women Scotland and the UK Supreme Court (2025)

Apropos of today’s news I just had a piece published in Radical Philosophy about the turn towards biological essentialism in law and policy. I’m arguing the SC decision in FWS and attempts to restrict disability welfare fundamentally come from the same place of wanting to limit state protections

was a real thrill to interview @reproutopia.bsky.social about their new book 'Enemy Feminisms', along with Victoria Browne and @hhnnccnnll.bsky.social, in the new issue of @radical-philosophy.bsky.social

variant Variant is a magazine with the independence to be critical that addresses cultural issues in a social and political context.

I have an essay in the issue called 'Generation, conjuncture' which is a fragmentary and slightly faltering attempt to think through the relation between those two concepts and to confront the problem of nostalgia / generational envy

A Common Craziness — Parapraxis Diagnosing Youth Revolt at the Columbia 1968 Uprisings hannah proctor

I wrote this essay on psychoanalytic interpretations of the 1968 student uprisings at Columbia university @parapraxismag.bsky.social - students who opposed the university's complicity in the US war in Vietnam insisted society was 'crazy' rather than them

haha yep hi :)

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

I was gripped by the Mike Kelley at Tate Modern earlier this year — and this by @hhnnccnnll.bsky.social on Kelley’s Kandors, memory, melancholic objects, False Memory Syndrome, Sylvia Plath, Ruth Leys &c is great

thanks Felicity!

I can’t compete with this

find it funny that the only profession/field that people in my family have been involved in over multiple generations is what I guess you'd call show business (music hall variety acts > Butlins singers > tap dance instructors > understudies in touring musical theatre shows)

Just came across this anecdote about a therapist in Moscow in 1993 - wild analysis indeed

"Gaza is not the subject of the next paper. Its writers and artists are not bait for a new grant or fellowship. Its murdered children are not the subject of the next ethnographic study, or the next anthology or the next art installation or digital humanities project."
