This is such a cool event - get your tickets now!
Minimizing the window where I read about how our world is a joke and we're at the mercy of megalomaniacal evil perverts. Logging on to the work zoom. "Heyyyy I'm good! How are you?"
There is still time to sign up for this exciting event 👇

False! The fastest way to make AI data centres sustainable is to turn them off - hope this helps!
We have been very busy over at Women in World-Literature! Date one for your diary:
At LAST getting stuck into my dear friend Christine’s book - I had the privilege to read early drafts and I can’t wait to read the final version 💖
Not assessed. Online. Open to everyone.
If you can't read all the books no problem (I'll provide extracts)
If you can't come every week, no problem (I record my talk)
If you can't do extra work, no proble
Everyone interacts at the level they have time for.
Genuinely so excited for the two fundraisers in this newsletter!
A massive piece of orange jersey fabric, with a hole about the size of a plate cut out of a point toward the middle
Me: I love using second hand fabrics!
The second hand fabric:
A pinboard with a variety of posters, including one for a Gazan fundraising campaign (https://gofund.me/5d6cf1bd), a James Baldwin quote stating “every bombed villagers my hometown”, another graphic poster which repeats “there is enough if we share”, a graphic poster saying “AI is for Losers - I can make art that’s ugly and bad all by myself thank you very much” and a two page guide on trans inclusion after the EHRX ruling in the UK
An image with the previous pin bird and posters which includes a door to the right with trans inclusion and anti fascist posters, and a poster for the Women in World-Literature Climate Crisis and Contagion conference from 2025
Instead of doing work I revamped my office door and pin-board
As a reminder you can donate to Mo any time here: gofund.me/5d6cf1bd! He and his wife are expecting a baby in 2026 so every little bit matters now more than ever
Let us know if you'd like anything included in this month's WIWL newsletter chums!
In 2025, I received the Emma Goldman Award for my research on feminism and inequality amid genocidal war, the destruction of our family home and the loss of my father. I dedicate it to my beloved father Najy Ajour. They cannot break our spirits. In his name I continue.
Mabruk my friend! I am so glad your excellent work has been recognised! 💖
Did it again in 2025! Fewer non-work reads than last year, but I've been reading for a new project so!

why on earth would i want to see what the podcasters i listen to look like. those are my friends, the floating ear ghosts that help me do my chores, and their faces are not my business
I'm doing stand-up comedy for the first time on Sunday to raise money for Mermaids and Medical Action Palestine - I'd love to get a few more donations before Sunday: givestar.io/gs/ok-fine-i...
History is awesome
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.
It’s trans day of remembrance - we should act every day in the interests and memory of our siblings who have passed, but also toward protection and peace for our siblings who are here and who are constantly scapegoated
I love my trans sisters, brothers, and siblings 💖🏳️⚧️ Rest and Thrive in Power 💖🏳️⚧️
Here at Exeter we are offering three fully funded AHRC PhD places in humanities subjects. Please get in touch if you are keen to come and do research with us! Closing date 23 February 2026: www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...
Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.
