Yesterday during a lab meeting, my mentor informed me that I may no longer progress in my career due to my so-called 'infamy.' I was told that I was to blame for the challenges I've been facing in publishing my work—that my 'negative' political activism might be provoking the particularly unusual hostility of peer reviewers. Apparently, several 'respectable' figures in the scientific community have contacted him to voice their disapproval and even urged him to terminate my employment. This also highlights how the cowardly silence of my 'allies' perpetuates bigotry and exclusion.

To my 'colleagues' who feel entitled to pass judgment on my existence as a Palestinian scientist—one who cannot turn away from the human instinct to preserve life while witnessing the daily murder of my people—I regret to inform you that I will continue to exist, unapologetically, with no regard for your comfort or supremacist ideals.

Fortunately, science is not confined to institutions. It lives in my mind and heart, and I can enjoy it fully—even from the solitude of my imagination; even if I were to become homeless. Home, however, is precisely what I am fighting for. I only wish I had the privilege to contemplate nature, without the existential threat of Zionism.

From my perspective at the margins here at MIT, I have come to see academia for what it truly is: a stronghold of racism, classism, and spiritual rot masquerading as enlightenment.

Apologies in advance if I don’t respond to comments on this post—this is a deeply personal reflection, shared primarily for myself.

A great thread on how Irish Governments' darlings - the Vulture Funds - aided & abetted by the US authorities tore through the societies that allowed their cancerous cells in.

Going forward, an objective of any cultural audit by Arts Council or DCC should be to identify buildings like this and to protect their (cultural) use. The State should also be ready to fund the purchase of buildings like it, not least because they are/were tourist attractions!

Dublin hasn't been so welcoming to music communities + creators in recent years (an extra reason to appreciate venues that have stayed in the game). Lifting that negative association that people have with the city will take time but feels like we're going in the right direction

[Sunil Sharpe @sunilsharpe]

A strong feeling I had at the weekend, and I know others did too, was just how nice it felt to be welcomed at @NCH_Music to converge and share new experiences in this incredible building. Big thanks @sheehan_gary and @foggynotions for organising + @DeptCulturelRL for supporting
