Here at a board mtg, 👂 to a faculty colleague from FL, who's telling us abt the closure of their LGBTQ + women's centers last week, 😢 the redesign of their core curriculum to eliminate sociology, and their new attempts to engage with now-verboten subjects through "factual" primary rsch materials

I initially planned to say nothing about Babel’s inexplicable disqualification from the Hugo Awards. But I believe that these cases thrive on ambiguities, the lingering question marks, the answers that aren’t answers. I wish to clarify that no reason for Babel’s ineligibility was given to me or my team. I did not decline a nomination, as no nomination was offered. 

Until one is provided that explains why the book was eligible for the Nebula and Locus awards, which it won, and not the Hugos, I assume this was a matter of undesirability rather than ineligibility. Excluding “undesirable” work is not only embarrassing for all involved parties, but renders the entire process and organization illegitimate. Pity. 

That’s all from me. I have books to write.

Bild just released the most fucking racist shit I’ve ever read but the most fucked up part (although it’s been edited) apparently said “Schweinefleischessen gehört zu Deutschland” or “eating pork belongs to Germany” This is their manifesto… motivated by antisemitism

Teaching our history & theory module again this term. It often ends up functioning like a therapy/survival course to process what is going on 'outside', whether it is a pandemic, wars or arguments over what should be taught at universities. Trying to put together a resource from next year onwards.

I just watched the Eyal Weizman clip from a Berlin rally. He discussed, amongst other things, that the German government is seriously considering 'race laws' again, discriminating against Muslims etc to 'fight antiseminitism' while supporting a genocidal government.
