You couldn't make this reply up. The conference 'theme' is decolonisation but its purpose is....something else.

I'm grateful though: this is going into my Shit Academic Takes on Decolonisation folder.

Fighting for permanent contracts when we should really just be fighting for whole number percentages of one

Academia: 'what do you want?'

Academics: 'a permanent job'

And which war did you serve in? Oh, and how big was your student loan?

blood boiling to see how utterly valueless Palestinian lives are to these people, to the point where it took some blood-stained western passports to get them to move in ways that the past 6 months of genocide did not

Utter disregard for the lives of Palestinians. I have never felt more disillusioned in my life.

A third of my feed are 'I'm excited to announce... 🥳' posts, another third is arguing about whether good history requires research, oh and then the last third is coverage of Palestinian children being quite literally slaughtered. Peak GN academia.

Just how MAD is it that we are 'debating' in the UK and across the world, over weeks and months, how many people it is alright to kill before it is too many? All our minds & morals rot in this dreck.
