My favourite bit about ethnonationalist Matt Goodwin complaining that he lost to Muslim sectarianism is that Muslims voted for a party led by a gay Jewish man.
Sectarianism eh.
Beautiful news out of Gorton & Denton! All you fascists bound to lose! 💚

Indonesian National Armed Forces are deployed not to protect forests or people, but to clear rainforests, secure bulldozers, silence Indigenous resistance, and turn one of Earth’s last intact ecosystems into sugar, rice, and biofuel fields.
Happy to be back at Warwick with wonderful people today! 🌱

Just out paper which might be of interest to those who work on Urban Geograpy, Geographies of Home, and affective thinking (especially ambivalence).
It is a paper that considers the wonderful Iman Mersal's poetic oeuvre as a form of geography.
