My review of 'Immigration detention and social harm – The collateral impacts of migrant incarceration', edited by @MichPeterie @carceralgeog

The night did not fall. It broke. A sound tore through the silence, not like thunder, but like something deeper collapsing, something within the world itself. News came: an entire residential block crushed into dust. We ran. We didn’t speak. There was no room for thoughts, no

Denying refugees citizenship simply on the grounds that they arrived here “illegally” on small boats *when there are no legal routes* for most of them to use takes cynicism to new heights. And such performative cruelty won’t see off Reform - it’s more likely to strengthen them

Being an academic is about being critical and analytical as Stuart Hall said, 'The university is a critical institution or it is nothing'.

It's a perfect day to disappear into an old forest & never be seen again

Take the latest announcement: new surveillance technologies for the NCA, and celebrations of the deportations since they came to office. https://t.co/4pf9kBkA4d. Nothing about supporting communities, reducing backlogs or enabling the positive contributions that migrants make 2/3

'Fisher's grotesque stratigraphic imaginary conceptualises place as formed from a riot of cultural, social, and political detritus...cracks are generated by the desires of a common, transtemporal and transpatial struggle.' @Callum1234

I’m seeing people talk about the worldwide trend of countries moving right, and I think that has to be largely understood as the failure of neoliberalism. As liberal parties move right they stop delivering for people and find themselves in political no mans land.

The definitive spatial accounting of the genocide in/on Gaza. Hugely important work from @ForensicArchi that should be enough to stop any more murder/destruction and will serve as underlying evidence for future prosecutions of war crimes inc urbacide... https://t.co/Cqo8DuFSIq

'the temporal layering of cities creates fertile ground for supernatural rupture. The layering of history in urban space forces us to remember that which has been hidden by time or what has yet to come' @DrIronside & @alyedwards3 @Revenantjournal https://t.co/emAbIM0ACY
