Reflecting on #OpenFest25, I'm grateful to the presenters (Almarzouq, Bowie, Sanders) who reminded us that openness is a social practice > we must not lose sight of this. E.g. open practices per se cannot dismantle the humanities' centrality in the ideological scaffolding of apartheid and genocide 👇
I have a new article out today in Public Humanities, where I try to find some words for how historicide is (and has always been) a project of European colonialism - and I try to find some words for the historians who continue to support it. 🇵🇸✊🏻

In our final online panel, a great paper from Batool Almarzouq, who shows how - if you follow the sources back - the same extractivist dynamics that transfer wealth from the global south to the global north in neocolonial projects play out in the open science funding landscape #OpenFest25

This was great from @batoolmm.bsky.social - not often you see discussion of open science explicitly referencing universities' harmful investment in fossil fuels and weapons #openfest25

Just took a 30-min break yesterday & put together some thoughts from those quick chats at #OpenScience conferences lately. Ended up with a short, 3-minute read on whether science and activism are actually at odds, or if maybe it only feels that way sometimes!

Are Science and Activism Contradictory?
Some say scientists should stay out of politics. Power shapes science — so do we

Expanding their policy beyond Gaza I see
Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard.

I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.
Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the UK
Bluesky users in the UK can verify their age using their face, ID, or payment card.
