January 2026 special issue of South Atlantic Quarterly (Duke UP) edited by Sarah Bufkin & Ida Danewid theorises racial capitalism in (post)imperial Europe.
My contribution discusses the relationship between racialisation of Roma through workfare & debtfare, and high industrial employment in Czechia
This looks like a fantastic issue and a very rich introduction that couldn't come at a better time!
Thank you so much, Manuela! Your work was a massive source of inspiration the issue 🙏💫
Check it out--the issue contains some fantastic pieces:

Loving this interview. Wow. Cuts deep into a lot of core concepts I’ve never had the opportunity to really study or deconstruct
Thanks @thedigradio.bsky.social

once again joining the many people who have observed how much of a world-historical problem it is that Trump is so fucking funny
Congratulations, Barbora! I’m so excited to read this 😊
I have a new piece in @antipodeonline.bsky.social on James Baldwin, statelessness, and fugitive placemaking
Another amazing piece in our PMLA essay cluster on Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture!
He did a whole two minute ad highlighting the life of Sylvia Rivera! That was backed by a banger of a track from Sophie, noting the murder of Martha P Johnson. Never mind not running away he embraced NYC trans folks. AND WON! youtu.be/bEvVSpN0BXg?...
Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Lots of time and effort has gone into the Independent Water Commission, which reports tomorrow. Unfortunately, it's a largely wasted exercise, because the government insisted that renationalisation of the water companies was outside its terms of reference: ie, it was not allowed to consider it.🧵

I think this is such a major driver of AI use in university assessments. And also just a real… disconnection between why we think students are here (to learn about history!) and why students think they are here (to get good grades, to get a job)
Britain is still providing arms to Israel. So it's doing a lot more than "tolerating" this world historic evil. It's continuing to participate in it.
Lammy's retoric was strong, but the announced actions were feeble. If we want to support the people of Gaza then we need to be clear about that.
Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water.
A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places:

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

For me, I will remember Francis as the Pope who called the Holy Family Church in Gaza every day as the city, and even the church itself, was bombed by Israel.
Pic from BBC -- white women celebrating outside the UK SC. We may deprivilege the colonial-racial frame, but the hate campaign led by white cis women speaks to a nation that criminalised same-sex relations in its empire, invented 'woman' in its colonies (cf. Oyewumi) & knows how to coerce white +
UK SC's definition of 'woman' is a serious affront to decades of labour in queer studies to decouple sex & gender that even WHO recognises. It's a colonial-racial chokehold to safeguard power of TERFs & GCs. Moving forward, all women will have rights curtailed.

Victory for the far-right as Supreme Court rolls back trans women's rights by two decades
The decision has all the hallmarks of TERF Island - and For Women Scotland seem to think that aligning themselves with famed misogynist Laurence Fox is a victory?

100 children killed or injured every day. That’s the equivalent of 2 buses per day, a whole school per week. How is this in anyone’s interests except those of the forces of fascism?
Great weekend read by @benehrenreich.bsky.social on the bi-partisan support for the genocide in Palestine helping open the door for outright fascism - and some of the parallels to Weimar
