I started noticing this over 20 years ago, but found myself personally attacked whenever I tried to discuss it. I've had many people weirdly racialize this with whites suggesting it's atypical of a Black person to be engaged in reading non-fiction science and engineering and attacked by other Black people for reading science fiction, fantasy, mythology, and history that isn't explicitly Afrocentric.

»'Belle from Gaza,' which portrays Palestinian society as anti-LBGTQ, is not Israeli and only partly filmed in Israel, but Cinemamed decided to pull its screening after various activist groups said it 'Contributes to the pinkwashing and colonialist narrative of genocide'.«

Kaur „expressed support for pro-Palestinian protesters outside the ceremony. Wearing a scarf with the Palestinian flag, she called for a ceasefire in Gaza and for Britain's Tate museums to cut ties with donors linked to Israel's government. "It's not a radical demand — this should not risk an artist's career or safety," she added.“

When Kemi Badenoch denied Belfast rappers Kneecap their Music Export Growth Scheme grant due to their political views, she probably didn't expect them to take the matter to court.

Now the Govt. has agreed not to contest the case leading the Court to award then the same amount in damages as the grant they applied for.

The group's lawyer, Darragh Mackin, called it 'a victory for the arts, for culture, for the freedom of expression'!

From @josephinelee in our magazine: About 410,000 U.S. residents report Taiwanese ancestry, and 8.5 percent of them live in #Texas. Houston has the state’s largest Tawanese-American community, and it remains a hotbed for Taiwanese nationalism.

On an image of Texas Observer letterhead, showing the Observer’s masthead through the years, with the logo and the words Since 1954 at the top. The main text reads:

Dear friends, 

Please join us for the Texas Observer’s 70th Anniversary. For 70 years, the Observer has worked to “hew hard to the truth as we find it and the right as we see it.” Now more than ever, it is critical to maintain reporting that seeks not only to inform but to hold power to account. A free and independent media must be a stalwart of truth, unwilling to bend to the threats of tyrants. 

I hope you’ll join us to celebrate out history as we prepare for the work ahead. As Molly said, “Keep fightin’ for freedom and justice beloveds, but don’t you forget to have fun doin’ it.”

Les bombardements israéliens à
#Gaza ciblent aussi la #culture. Leila Shahid, ancienne ambassadrice pal., recontextualise dans cet entretien cette tentative de nettoyage culturel dans un projet de destruction de la #Palestine et de son peuple beaucoup plus large. Et les résistances culturelles possibles à l'effacement.

[NouvelObs] - « Mais alors : et les #Arabes là-dedans ? » Quand #MichelFoucault interpellait #JeanDaniel à la radio sur l’#Algérie.

En 1973, au micro de #FranceCulture, le philosophe disait son scepticisme quant à la vision que le fondateur du « #NouvelObservateur » avait de l’Algérie de sa jeunesse. Un ouvrage retranscrit cet échange, plus contemporain que jamais.

Great article. "The Atlantic makes right-wing ideas respectable to liberals, and when it publishes articles encouraging Americans to be terrified of Iran or to support boosting the military budget, it does so in a “prestige-y format, next to a bunch of poems, and well-written movie reviews [which give it] some gravitas. You can’t just dismiss it as right-wing fear-mongering.” #Journalism #Magazines #Politics #Culture https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-worst-magazine-in-america

I know I’m not alone in missing longer-form, thoughtful writing from thoughtful people.

To that end I’m interested in exploring some blogs and newsletters. Who are y’all reading that you’d recommend?

Just posted for my paid Substack subscribers a guide to 50 of the best nonfiction books I've reviewed as the book critic for Glamour, a large newspaper, or a freelancer.

I'd have posted it on @medium before #Medium greatly discouraged it with a post saying that even if you spend days on a thoughtful piece, you could get denied a boost for something trivial like profanity. It just made no sense, so hello, Substack.

So, you'll recall in the late-1930s the UK & other countries (including the US) benefitted from a large scale exodus of scientists & other intellectuals... indeed, there's been a lot of recent work done on how these migrants informed & shaped British cultural institutions across the 30s/40s/50s & beyond.

Are we now going to see a similar exodus of US scientists & others, who will then have a similar galvanising effect on their new/host countries scientific & cultural lives?
