It feels quite unreal, but *The End of College Football: On the Human Cost of an All-American Game* is officially out in the world as of today. Half a decade’s work finally on full display.

Please grab a copy, request at your library, and spread the word.

Indonesia is denying Israeli athletes entrance visas, which will prevent them from keeping in the world gymnastics championships.

This is what real solidarity against genocide looks like.

apnews.com/article/indo...
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia will block Israeli athletes from competing at the upcoming gymnastics world championships in Jakarta, a government official said Thursday.

The decision to deny visas to the Israeli athletes comes after their planned participation had sparked intense opposition in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation, which has long been a staunch supporter of Palestinians.

Reminder that the governor of Bali had sought to ban the Israeli U-20 soccer team from entering the island at the U20 World Cup in 2023, and then FIFA moved the tournament to Argentina on short notice.

This is exactly how you hold Israel to the ‘ceasefire’ and also how to begin the push to hold the war criminals accountable.

Kinda bankrupt person openly acknowledges bombing for 2 years and a hostile incursion with "you'll stop being mad right?"

Julia, once all the bodies have been identified, we will circle back for responsibility.

Imagine thinking that what hypothetically happens after a genocide (we'll see) is that everyone just moves on and acts like it never happened.
So if this Trump peace plan does go ahead and Hamas frees the hostages while Israel ends the bombing, withdraws the IDF to agreed lines and sends in more aid, then the protesters on our streets will be happy, right?

They'll end their marches and protests, right?

They'll be cheering for peace, right? 

They'll stop attacking Britain Jews accusing them of responsibility for the "genocide" that isn't happening, right?

Because it's the innocent children in Gaza they care about, right?

Right...?

I will forget and forgive on the same day that the children of Gaza stop having nightmares and flashbacks.

This will likely happen several decades after I am dead.

Julia Hartley Brewer piled on me during lockdown because I called her out for holidaying when we weren’t meant to, so seeing she’s in favour of killing children in Gaza is very on brand.

As we hope and dream of an end to the most accute fighting, we dare to turn toward a future of building. Support Alaa as an architect, as an independent woman rebuilding her life against the odds of the occupation and the genocide. Please support her if you can

My family,my children have always been my top priority in life. They are the most precious part of me. I dedicated all my time and energy to them, until I nearly forgot myself forgot that I am an engineer who studied and worked hard for more than ten years.

Ep. 170: The Pseudoscience of Trans Exclusion

In a LONG awaited and vital ep, the whole crew is joined by Sheree Bekker and @annaposbergh.bsky.social to delve into and refute the 'science' deployed to justify the anti-trans movement in sport.

Protest: Trans athletes belong in sport

I don’t have confirmation of this.

Correct. This is the utility of a made-up thing.

The only thing it clearly indexes is fascist intent.

This is fair, but they are taking Israeli funding for the project which is objectively indefensible.
