I’m only halfway through @kuangrf’s new novel Babel but already it is my book of the year. I’ve never read a book that is so resonant and satisfying as it traverses colonialism, equity, language and the role of academia in perpetuating global injustice. It’s a must read.

An absolute delight to read @edajones16 new book Feminist Theory and International Law: Posthuman Perspectives. So many fascinating thoughts about international law and materialism relevant to our current #HighSeasTreaty & #PandemicTreaty negotiations https://t.co/b0OM2YevOo

@NichBoy Oh and the storm before the storm (if you’ve ever listened to Mike Duncan’s history podcasts, same guy) - manages to convey so much detail narratively
