Big day! First article of my PhD sent off for publication INSHALLAH WE DONT GET DESK REJECTED 🙅♂️

What do you mean “it’s the position of the Australian National Broadcaster that Lebanese people aren’t real”
Trump hasn’t even been President for 12 hours, and the US has left the #ParisAgreement
It is not lost on me how significantly these figures have been revised The accepted number by western pundits for over 12 months was “Hamas killed 1200 people, so Israeli retaliation is necessary” - I think Israel even used 1200 at the ICJ Now “Hamas murdered 340 people”
The Brutalist is phenomenal An unflinching portrait of obsession, art under capitalism, and the subjugation of immigrants in America Very easy 5 stars, and I don’t know how Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones aren’t SWEEPING the Best Supporting Actor categories
