I’m going to be honest, I write (for a living!) about how these tools work, including how they function (or fail to) in science and metascience applications; including, even, how biases infiltrate these applications. I could not have guessed that it was this bad or this blatant.

@vogliamo_tutto I think organising is a good model for (understanding) educating — once we see education is much wider than formal classrooms, and mostly implicit; and once we recognise it's social ties that shift people to new experiences (and sometimes trajectories) more than facts & figures.

@bayesianboy @lavish_lerven @HorrorUnpacked “Whenever you hear anyone abuse the Jews, pay attention, because he is talking about you [Black people.” (Fanon).

Of course there are Black Jews too. Euromodern colonialism, incl. Zionism, whitened European – esp. Ashkenazi – Jews.

[Jon Fish Hodgson @keepabundant]

@bayesianboy @lavish_lerven @HorrorUnpacked I'd say that was key & continues for a not-small section of Christian Zionists. Some see Jews as outpost of white Judeo-Christendom. Both fit early Jewish Zionists' wanting Euromodern ethnostate for whitened Jews: Zionism's always been a form of Eurocolonial white supremacism.

@bayesianboy Vile, vile entitlement. I'm sorry.

[Jon Fish Hodgson @keepabundant]

@lavish_lerven @bayesianboy @HorrorUnpacked It's quite literal. Zionism is antisemitic (despite its perversion of Judaism, turning Israel into an idol; and grotesque perversion of Jewish death and mourning, especially in the holocaust)

I’ve been crying since morning nonstop till I saw this message from Alexei Sayle, a British Jewish comedian.

He restored me.

The best #Christmas message you will hear in these dark days

@jwillia2 Thanks for this, which I hadn't read!

[Jon Fish Hodgson @keepabundant]

Israel is thoroughly part of white supremacist Amerikkka.

Whiteness is unending entitlement — even up to the posture of victimhood, and insistent ignorance.

Zionism is racist & antisemitic.

Learn to become traitors to whiteness in US, Israel, SA settler colonies and everywhere

⚠️ HAPPENING NOW AT NYC'S GRAND CENTRAL STATION: THOUSANDS OF JEWS AND ALLIES HOLD AN EMERGENCY SIT-IN, DEMANDING A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA. WE'RE TAKING OVER THE GRAND CONCOURSE. WE'RE REFUSING TO ALLOW A GENOCIDE BE CARRIED OUT IN OUR NAMES. CEASEFIRE NOW! NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE! ⚠️

[Jon Fish Hodgson @keepabundant]

We South African Jews denounce Israel’s ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza. Ceasefire today; decolonisation tomorrow!

@SAJFP_

[South African Jews for a Free Palestine @SAJFP_]

If the tables were turned, and two million Israelis were currently being interned in an open-air prison, indiscriminately bombed and starved... we would equally call it out for what it is: collective punishment, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

[Jon Fish Hodgson @keepabundant]

@DallasJokic @MarxinHell I'd appreciate one too if you have a queue — and appreciated your recent "Class in Theory, Class in Practice" too!

And so we knot nets,
nettles of, handfuls of nettles

The plane lifts. Every time.

We live in starts and fits.
Trying to tie hope and history,
tie them, make them rhyme.
