The support we have received from @uncpress.bsky.social @sonyabonczek.bsky.social is nothing short of incredible. If you’re an author with a book project, this group is where you need to take it.

Welp…so a couple weeks after this happened to @nkalamb.bsky.social my NEXUS was just revoked by DHS.

It’s not a coincidence.

Sorry American friends and colleagues, looks like I won’t be at events in the US any time soon.

This passage from Mohammed El-Kurd’s first non-fiction book “Perfect Victims and the Politics of Appeal” @haymarketbooks.org needs to be read by everyone and then read again.

In spite of US empire, this event was absolutely delightful. Thanks to everyone who came, bought the book or told me they listen to @endofsportpod.bsky.social

Huge s/o to @edgeofsports.bsky.social (the 🐐) & to @politicsprose.bsky.social for being an incredible bookstore!

why coach in the pros where you have to deal with those pesky unions & workplace safety regulations, when you can go to the NCAA and make bank

does someone want to tell them...

It’s pretty simple: the violence that is fundamental to football has no place in education. Football targets the brain and is antithetical to the university mission.
