My new book on the desert has arrived in its hardcover glory! This is the product of 7 years of research so I'm fighting my aversion to self-promotion and asking you to take a look, if you think you might be interested. Many thanks to @DrChrisWatkin and @EdinburghUP

Big brave british soldiers in Ireland. This is the early 90s

Simply unacceptable. Wales cannot lose the flagship building of its National Museum. Our Museum. This is a line in the sand. If you allow this pillar of our society and heritage to die you will never get it back. Protect her. https://t.co/jadcj3wXWN

Fascinating essay on how decolonial theory —in vogue in the academic ‘left’—is being embraced by the far right.

Important reminder of how far this all is from many “quintessentially modern” mid-20th Century anti-colonial movements. https://t.co/W3rhgzOvgc

👀 I’ve read the OA PDF, but today I got to see and hold @BattellSE’s brilliant book in its bookish form! #RenSA24

In response to @cardiffuni's new vice chancellor's recently released dystopian vision of the university's future in ten years' time, someone has made a brilliant parody exposé of the motives:

Whoever made this, I would like to buy them several drinks.

@DDDrewDaniel This distinction stinks of moralism to me.

[The Blindboy Podcast @bbboatclub]

An active US air force member self immolated outside the Washington DC Israeli embassy as a protest against genocide. I really feel like it should be bigger news. It’s barely a headline on a lot of news sites.

Don’t stop talking about Palestine.

Since this conversation on Friday night nearly 500 more Palestinians have been murdered as they seek shelter with nowhere to go.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The broadcast coverage of the bombing of Yemen I’ve seen is, frankly, a farce.

No critiquing, barely any probing questions, just de facto cheerleading dressed up as journalism.

That’s not how a genuinely independent media should work in a healthy democracy

[Heather Parry @HeatherParryUK]

can't get a doctor or dentist appt and bins are left rotting and the roads are destroyed and you can't afford childcare or food or heating and there's no funding for the arts or mental health but we are about to go to fucking war in Yemen to ensure Israel can continue a genocide
