Europeans were so afraid of refugees and immigrants from West Asia and Africa they descended back into Fascism over it. The Brits were so racist they Brexit'd so they could close their borders to immigrants and refugees.
You telling me that's not racism? white supremacy? alive and well in Europe?

I’m so pleased to hear about Microsoft’s planned acquisition of TikTok. I can’t wait for TikTok for Business* and the seamless integration it promises with LinkedIn for sharing office japes like photocopying your arse.
* Not compatible with regular TikTok.

Just a reminder to my fellow scholar.social folks: hope y'all are taking care of yourselves. Cuz academia sure as hell won't.
It's OK to be 'unproductive' sometimes. Tell that guilt to shut its yap.
Also, thanks for making this a cool place to hang.

#WorthReading - Good take on the coronavirus pandemic, and it's place in the wider contexts of neoliberalism and ecological destruction from Kim Stanley Robinson:

Good 20 minute talk on where subscriptions models seem to be leading us. Learned a lot of new terms, including 'Service as a Software Substitute':
