"A mistake or an error is maybe that: the crumbling of an order, a border, a navigation system. Suddenly, I’m where I’m not supposed to be, outside (beside) the nation-state (hyphen)." @mirene_arsanios on editing many Englishes. HT @ShawnVanSluys https://t.co/CXxz83ZbkQ

In Latvia, the black carnation is much more than a flower. Kārlis Vērdinš traces the symbol from private gay gatherings to tabloid scandals to contemporary pride. - https://t.co/1Zl7Dxd8cN #language #queerness #blackcarnation @dukts

We’ve been reporting extensively on the increasing brutality on Europe's borders. This longread (free to read) sums up many of our investigations, it covers Greece, Libya and state of play in Brussels. And it shows how humane alternatives would look like. https://t.co/XFmIl6KP9F

The designation #literature is, in origin and practice, an instrument of politics—a redistribution of power. To use it or refuse it is to be political. It is as innocent of politics as are police or insurgents. Make literature insurgent; refuse policing. #thepolityofliterature

“Yulia has declared a #hungerstrike ... and calls out the cowardice of the Russian state in the extraordinary efforts they are taking to prove her guilt, despite a lack of evidence and a misinterpretation of her artistic practice.”https://t.co/SBcN3aBP05 #yuliatsvetkova

When a school is too punishing and racist to teach a child, how will he learn to read and write? Harry Gamboa Jr. shows us how.

“Gay Comix was to be a place to find cultural information about gay life...a space to “express our humanness.” https://t.co/gBlIX9jNLM #gaycomix #gaycomics #undergroundcomix # undergroundcomics #gayliterature #polityofliterature

"These dark, engaged comix are a far cry from the #Archie of my youth—but they all affirmed the reader’s profane #citizenship in a shared space of everyday belonging. #GayComix sited a humane, egalitarian #politics." @ShawnVanSluys on the Polity of Comics https://t.co/V5AbSXLSSA
