I feel so lucky that I got the chance to chair this wonderful and timely keynote by @drpaulinehenry.bsky.social at #IPCITI2025. More relevant than I could have ever hoped for my own thesis exploring traumatic memories in my feminist translation of Memoria de la melancolía.
I (@woolzz.bsky.social) was honoured to chair "Translating Rape", the fantastic keynote speech at #IPCITI2025. Dr Pauline Henry-Tierney (@drpaulinehenry.bsky.social) proposed a feminist methodology of translation that responds ethically to the complexities of translating traumatic texts. (1/4)

Why aren't pro-Palestine voices celebrating Trump's alleged "peace" deal in Gaza?"

Unlike you, we paid attention before Oct 2023 and we've seen this movie before.

There are videos on X showing episodes of police brutality against the protesters. Netanyahu and his allies have reportedly been inciting against the protesters, including calling them “Hamas supporters.”
Hundreds of thousands of people are on the streets of Tel Aviv to protest against Netanyahu.

She can say this because she's an Irish citizen living in Ireland.

Say it in the UK and you could face 14 years in prison. Crazy.

the stories that come out of the ICE camps are going to look like the stories that come out of every camp system; rampant corruption, epidemic disease, physical and sexual abuse on a vast scale, a death rate far higher than normal, and medical abuses.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?
