First, the cover is wonderful 1/17

#BELIZE: Belize has become the latest #Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country to signal its intention to replace Britain's Queen Elizabeth as its head of state and adopt republican status.

In a convo abt pancake day, one of my coworkers gleefully announced that they made "pancake enchiladas"

I have many questions and yet little desire to have answers

The 11 years on fixed term contracts have been HELL. At various points, I've been starving, homeless, at risk of deportation, bullied, harassed, and on the verge of break down. Casualisation is destructive and in no way inevitable!

Hoy, en #MiércolesDeTitulares, compartimos la publicación: “Gaceta de Cartagena de Colombia”, editada entre 1822 y 1831, que surgió como diario oficial en la época independentista, con la intención de reconocerse como país, como estado y como nación 🇨🇴📰.

Had to go to office today to get my laptop fixed. Granted I just returned from France where masks are mandatory indoors but why isn't anyone wearing a mask in England? Maybe 5% on the metro. No one in my office.

I can't believe I changed into non-elastic waist clothes for this

[Penn Press @PennPress]

LISTEN: On @CIMSEC's podcast Sea Control, Penn Press authors @VMongey (ROGUE REVOLUTIONARIES) and @tysonfreeder (SMUGGERS, PIRATES, AND PATRIOTS) discuss their books and the role the maritime space played in the "Age of Revolutions" https://t.co/5XgHcK0YVe

[Vanessa Mongey 🌈 ‎🦇 @VMongey]

On the topic, I really liked Claire Zalc's 'Dénaturalisés: retraits de nationalité sous Vichy' on how the gvt's exclusionary measures were imagined & implemented, esp for those affected, including Gainsbourg, Derrida, Chagall or Perec

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

When I see how the govt is proposing that people can have their British nationality taken away from them, it reminds me of how Vichy France 'denaturalised' Jews who naturalised after 1927.

[de Verbranders Podcast @deverbranders]

Now online: Ep 9 with Radhika Mongia (EN) 🔥 On the development of border technologies in colonial contexts, and the crucial role race and racisms played in shaping the passport inequality we know today. There is nothing natural about borders!
