Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets.

Peer reviewers are exhausted. It's common to spend *months* inviting reviewers, getting refusals, inviting more, maybe 12 or more, then 2 agree but 1 doesn't complete, so you go again. That's why your paper is in limbo. I'm very sorry, it's awful, but it's also an untenable academic labour issue.

Anders dan de BBB beweert is noaberschap (burenhulp) geen typisch regionale deugd. Ook andere politieke actoren maken goede sier met de term, veelal om impopulaire maatregelen met de mantel der liefde te bedekken (‘participatiemaatschappij’). 👉 buff.ly/fuqPT86

“As you read, a line might hit you. You feel struck. You pause. Here’s where close reading happens. Hold up. Linger with that line. Read it again, a few more times. What gives it its force here in its immediate moment? Work out its power. Does it reveal something about the text’s project?”

It is time
to remember the ones
who never abandoned
the way to care

who said not only my dead
and not only the official dead
matter amidst all the matter.
