I wrote this piece for @antipodeonline.bsky.social on street names as anticolonial traces, looking at Lusaka's map as a cartography of solidarity. Though these solidarities are less vivid today, I suggest these traces continue to hold revolutionary potential

For Palestinians, sport is a place of wonder & play, a brief taste of freedom, & so of course it cannot be allowed to live. Probably you’ve already decided what you think about this. But even one mind is worth changing, just as surely as one life is worth saving.

Sport may be a blunt tool of social change, but it’s time to take a stand against Israel | Jonathan Liew
As the bombardment continues in Gaza, bodies such as Fifa and the IOC have evaded taking a stand. But fans’ solidarity with Palestinians is growing and should not be ignored
