.@propublica is doing some incredible work focusing on the dire consequences of a Trump win. This is the information voters are craving, not the latest poll results. Be sure to read & share. This stuff is important. It's also really good journalism.
grateful to @acmrs_asu and @Throughlines_ for wanting to know more about where Indigenous Shakespeare productions fit into the wider landscape of the Contemporary Native Theatre movement, history, erasure, resilience, and some of the many Native artists work involved.
Anyone teaching a Renaissance literature survey this semester? @DennisBritton3 offers a sharp and fascinating read on The Faerie Queene and race.

I am delighted to announce that the journal special issue of @ShaxandApp on #Shakespeare and #Bengal is now out! Warmest thanks to everyone who made this possible. https://t.co/XATsaJ1btm. It has been an amazing journey.
Listen to this gorgeous Ay Hairathe Aashiqui cover by Parth Chandiramani and Apoorva Krishna. This stripped down version really highlights the very many different musical styles Rahman weaves into the original - ghazal, carnatic, even celtic! ❤️
Seeing lots of posts on my timeline about the new academic year, people starting new jobs, PhD programmes, etc. A reminder that 1000s of Palestinian staff and students are unable to start the new academic year because of Israel’s ongoing scholasticide & genocide
The sheriff featured by Democrats last night is same sheriff we recently sued over taking cash from private equity-owned telecom companies to eliminate the ability of children to visit their parents in jail, on the theory that families would spend more money on monopoly calls.
Incredibly thankful to every single person at @uncommittedmvmt for creating a vehicle to apply pressure using all the levers available to us. While there’s a lot of conversations about the speaker slot, it was a culmination of months of intense work. Thread 👇🏼1/
We are reminded that America is indeed an empire. Its leaders will always serve that function, whatever the party, whatever the race. For leftists who wish to see a different world, it’s important not to despair.
Imagine if the “good guys” believed genocide was bad. Imagine if the “love thy neighbor” folks didn’t trust the police. Imagine if the “joy” people didn’t supply bombs and cover.
The first case of #Polio in more than 25 years, but no one will care because the baby is Palestinian.
I'm so saddened and ashamed of our country looking away and pretending they are trying to stop this madness. We don't want your thoughts and prayers.
We need action.
With regret but full solidarity, I have pulled out of a speaking event this fall @Columbia University. The student suspensions continue as does punitive behaviour towards staff. 1400 academics signed a boycott letter in the early summer, & until things change, we must stay firm.
