Hallo - I am on the @IHSA1950 podcast with Irial Glynn, talking about the Boer War, Irish revolutionary fantasies and white supremacy. If you have a spare 38 minutes give it a listen x

@postoctobrist They release a certain amount of tickets online at 9:15am on the day if you'd like to try that :)

Thanks to these two for inadvertently helping me with some clarifications on my thesis

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

@saintsoftness Surreptitious has every sound you'd need in a word imo

[emer julia👩‍🚀 @emerjeemer]

Seems a bad sign

[Pop Crave @PopCrave]

Sinclair Broadcast Group says it will replace the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ time slot with a Charlie Kirk special.

The company also calls for Kimmel to issue an apology to the Kirk family and donate to Turning Point USA.

It is so weird how on the occasion the Irish gov/media takes a stance different to the British one, British centrists start talking about Ireland in a way which is maybe a step up from comparing skull shapes

[emer julia👩‍🚀 @emerjeemer]

It took ten minutes for me *and* my supervisors to work out how many terms I had left to finish the PhD and what submission date that would be

[Claire E. Aubin? @ceaubin]

PhD-level math skills? Okay so it takes twenty minutes to figure out how many bags of gravel a 28 foot path requires

I used to think "robber baron" was actually "rubber baron" and they all made money from selling tyres for early motor cars and such

[AB @AlannaBennett]

Can’t believe Gilded Age has me worried for the life of a robber baron

[emer julia👩‍🚀 @emerjeemer]

Many are saying this (me)

[Prof Janina Ramirez @DrJaninaRamirez]

You know what the whole world needs to know a bit more about? Irish history. Lots will come into perspective then folks.

[emer julia👩‍🚀 @emerjeemer]

This is the Gilded Age to me

[just a @F466OT]

Wonder if I should do something with my life or kinda just continue to hang out

[Fiona @FionaSmall]

Sinn Féin, an “Irish Republican” and “left-wing” party, want to rescind Irish law with GRA and copy British laws while throwing marginalised and minority groups under the bus

[gaby 🍂 @gabheartstopper]

trans people aren't a fucking debate

False dichotomy? Irish dancing (which is great and I love it) and other products of the cultural revival were specifically pursued because Irish nationalists wanted to create an equivalent to other "white" European art forms.

[cdiz94dkwts ☭🇵🇸☫ @cdiz94dkwts]

Irish dancing exists because of Irish resistance to "white culture", namely colonial conquest. Resistance to colonialism is not "white culture"

[emer julia👩‍🚀 @emerjeemer]

@KristyChatz Absolutely not, I'm going through every possible human emotion about it every day

[emer julia👩‍🚀 @emerjeemer]

Simulacra all the way down, etc

[emer julia👩‍🚀 @emerjeemer]

Thinking about Naomi Klein's Doppelganger I think the mirror-world is the most appropriate metaphor of this moment; every form of discourse is a twisted reflection or inversion like a horrible hall of mirrors

[emer julia👩‍🚀 @emerjeemer]

Dr. Louks younger than me but she has her PhD

[Dr Ally Louks @DrAllyLouks]

@ffssanie I’m 27! Turned 27 in the midst of the brouhaha 🙃

[michael @Sisyphusa]

some of us are old enough to remember when they used to have to try to style it out when sieg heiled at these things
