Having moved out of academia (aside from plans to do stuff independently), I had mass unfollowed a lot of medievalists on here who I never really interacted with or knew.

It’s harmful and disingenuous for American media to continue the charade that there’s a ceasefire in place.
BREAKING: At least 24 people are dead and 54 wounded after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began in October, officials say.

concentration camps within a mass concentration camp
The US is moving forward with building "model compounds" for Palestinians to live in on the IDF-held side of the Yellow Line in Gaza, but the structures will only be temporary, residents would be vetted by Israeli intelligence, and those moving in would never be allowed to leave.

People are starting to realize where their devices are made and how material is sourced and are becoming more conscious of how they spend. They are realizing they don't need to buy new things just bc when the things they have work just fine and somehow that's a bad thing?

A few days ago thousands of cell phones were inexplicably allowed in Gaza. Now they're exploding.
A mobile phone exploded in the hand of a Gaza resident. This is the second case in two days. There is a malfunction in the mobile devices that recently entered Gaza.

Today, The New York Times has published a story eviscerating Danielle Smith and her provincial government's response to the measles crisis in Alberta. Interestingly, Deena Hinshaw is interviewed for what appears to be the first time since she was fired.

Educators should take a page out of Ms Rachel book. She uses her voice and agency to speak out against genocide, centre humanity and support the children. As Audre Lorde says “your silence will not protect you”.

The RSF is executing civilians; the UAE is their financier and protector! Silence and empty words cost thousands of lives. The international community must act!!!!! #KeepEyesOnSudan
El Fasher is at breaking point. People are trapped and fighting is advancing further into the city. Ceasefire now, in El Fasher, in Darfur and throughout Sudan.

An estimated 10,000 to 15,000 people were massacred when the RSF captured the Darfur city of El Geneina in late 2023, according to a UN report. Today they captured the main military base in El Fasher, and the same scenario could be unfolding.
If El Fasher should fall, as appears likely, we should expect to see a ghastly reprise of El Geneina
