At last: evident (courtesy of @GoldsmithLeo) that I have not just been dreaming the whole thing...:-)

[peter snowdon @gournafilms]

@GoldsmithLeo @VersoBooks Wow! That's closer than I have yet got to the physical object...:-)

[peter snowdon @gournafilms]

@sdp I initially read this as, "Possible signs of life found on Virus"...

@DanielTutt I'm in! (Though since this starts during family vacation, I may be even more deeply asynchronous than I was for Karatani...) Thanks for putting this on! Looking forward

[peter snowdon @gournafilms]

@CognitiveEdge Thank you! Do you have any idea of the timing of the sessions? During the day or evening? (Trying to imagine how this could fit around work);

[peter snowdon @gournafilms]

@snowded @swardley Not sure if this is related, but I have tried several times to register on your website in the past 2 weeks (various browsers, PC and Mac), and the process doesn't complete.

David Graeber made Debt into a 12 part radio series you can listen to here. RIP comrade https://t.co/C3l5DbZHTW

There are the details. And there is this: Mark Zuckerberg, alone, gets to set key rules—with significant consequences—for one of the most important elections in recent history. That should not be lost in the dust of who these changes will hurt or benefit. https://t.co/QzLtcvZA6f

@nikadubrovsky @davidgraeber All my condolences

The recent arrests and smear campaign have sent shockwaves through feminist and LGBTQ communities in Egypt, with social media accounts and online solidarity groups shutting down their accounts in fear of reprisal. Meanwhile the National Council of Women is not answering calls.

This is surely the most clear motive for the assassination of #DaphneCaruanaGalizia and sheds a clear light on who the perpetrators might be.

1/ We are devastated to hear about the death of #MercyBaguma. Mercy died as a result of a racist, barbaric immigration system that intentionally pushes people into extreme poverty, and then denies them access to food, healthcare and shelter.

@Muna_Abdi_Phd All my condolences ya Muna.

@johnpmerrick @fashademic I am collecting her books whenever I find them second-hand and saving them for days when I may be either very happy, or very sad.
