This book "assails the hegemonic narrative — or ‘hegemonologue’ — that settlers have imposed to overwrite, and thus erase, non-Western ways of knowing and understanding the natural world." Great interview with @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social author, Liam Midzain-Gobin.

Cover image of Sirous Houshmand's book, "The Darkest Night Brings Longer Days: Surviving War and Iran's Evin Prison". There is a strip of dark blue at the top, which fades into pixels of light blue, then light orange, then dark orange.
Beautiful review of this @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social book in the @winnipegfreepress.com:
"A powerful provocation for those living in times when western democracies normalize troops in the streets, the disappearance of those most vulnerable and a state founded on hate, fear and unfettered nihilism."
The @hilltimes.com Best 100 Books of 2025 has just gone live. Thrilled to see the excellent representation of @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social authors -- just shy of 20%!

Devoured this gelato in Syracuse, Sicily. Called “Benvenuti di Mangiafico”, it’s a blend of almonds, custard, pistachios, citrus. Swoon!
