From 'Things you may find hidden in my ear' by Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha. The loss of home and the effort to recreate from the ruins. Think about Gaza, where the safety, comfort of food, family, and sense of beloning that kitchens bring only resides in people's memories..

We know that maps are political tools, they create nation states, they dispossess communities, establish sovereign control over territories. This erasure of the West Bank is more than a 'serious violation', this is part of a colonial and genocidal agenda.

I was deeply moved at the Museumplein #KetiKoti today, all the people and such wonderful speeches. And Marian Markelo's Winti libation was so powerful. 'Carry your history with you, take steps forward, and only stop when everyone has equal access to living a dignified life..'

Better part of the day than listservcrap: Art for Indigenous Futures/@Rainawakens by sɬə́məxʷ (Rain Pierre) from Katzie First Nation. Powerful artistic response to the impacts of colonial injustice. Resistance&resurgence in York. Thank you @EmmaWaterton1 & @H4GCResCentre!

I joined the Classicists mailing list last week. Wow, fast learning about my academic bubble, where I thought academics were generally aware what feminism means, political engagement, or solidarity.. Well done @womeninclassics for your statement! wcc-uk.blogs.sas.ac.uk/2024/…

Looking forward to be in London next week for this event @LibyanStudies with amazing @josephinequinn & Cori Fenwick, to discuss David Mattingly's groundbreaking new book. Come along if you are around! bilnas.org/event/between-sah…
