Selina Walker is so, so, right @[email protected]. The genocide that the NT govt is hiding in plain sight is absolutely abhorrent. #AusPol #slowviolence

That is some amazing racist comedy, right there:
https://www.thisisaustralia-standuptohate.comAustralia? Stand up to hate? Why would we, when we hate so hard on the vulnerable, with the bulk of politicians that you voted in Australia, supporting genocide here + overseas, compulsory income management, and not raising income support?
Who votes for compulsory income management:

🔔 Mark your calendars! Our lecture series “Temporality of Imperial Violence” is scheduled for this Winter Term 2025/26 at the University of Freiburg.

📍 All sessions are open to the public. Join us for critical conversations and fresh perspectives!

#ClimateDiary now read that indeed it’s been really difficult for a lot of #Hajj Pilgrims in 48°C, with many suffering #Heatstrokes and 230 dying. There are of course many other contributing factors, as always - age, heart disease etc. - but the extreme heat can’t have helped. Heat is #SlowViolence #SilentViolence

#ClimateDiary continuing to think of everyone - people, animals, plants - stuck under the #Heatdome in #Texas and #Mexico
‘Heat is deadlier than more fearsome-sounding weather events such as hurricanes, floods and tornadoes—combined. “It’s really not even close with any other extreme” ‘
Heat is #SlowViolence and #SilentViolence
We hear of one postman; rapper #BigPokey dying of suspected #Heatstroke in a #Juneteenth performance; but it’s so many more suffering

"Aesthetics is not a question of beautification but of the sensible." Eyal Weizman, Forensic Architecture.
Whether your work is forensics, or intervening in (or subverting) the production of space this is a vital read on drawing many threads together, and the value of knowing your theory.

@Defiance @footsteps Yes, death by a thousand cuts is a good way to put it; or #SlowViolence. For quite a few, of course, already now fast, fatal violence, or deep cuts; but overall too on and off, too imperceptible for too many to really bring around a change in policy. We are trying to capture and share all this our collective #ClimateDiary here by the way

#ClimateDiary another piece today that reflects on time and #SlowViolence. This one, by @RebeccaSolnit
explores how #FossilFuel are normalised because we are used to them. Am thinking so much about #Time these days“Human beings are good at regarding new and unfamiliar phenomena as dangerous or unacceptable. But long-term phenomena become acceptable merely because of our capacity to adjust. “

Re #introduction for my new followers.
I am a historian of nuclear science & technology at Hiroshima Peace Inst & Grad School of Peace Studies. My book *Nuclear bodies: the global hibakusha* (Yale 2022) surveys harm from #nuclear production, weapon testing, & reactor accidents across the globe, & medical models that obscure harm from fallout particles.
Collecting oral histories in 20+ countries , I examine how communities, families and interior psychology suffer via exposures.
I track nuclear #colonialism (selecting the irradiated) arguing the #ColdWar was a limited nuclear war against these populations.
I also explore our relationship to our HL nuclear waste, asserting it is how our descendants will know us. Our choices now reveal our lack of consideration of the 1000s of generations of living beings for whom this waste is already a part of their world.
