This sounds amazing! I'm trying to convince my uni library to buy copies, and trying to fund a copy for myself.

I get so frustrated with book prices.. the ebook of this is almost $70aud.

"Abolish Criminology presents critical scholarship on criminology and criminal justice ideologies and practices, alongside emerging freedom-driven visions and practices for new world formations.

The book introduces readers to a detailed history and analysis of crime as a concept and its colonizing trajectories into existence and enforcement. These significant contexts buried within peculiar academic histories and classroom practices are often overlooked or unknown outside academic and public discussions, causing the impact of racializing-gendering-sexualizing histories to extend and grow through criminology’s creation of crime, extending how the concept is weaponized and enforced through the criminal legal system. It offers written, visual, and poetic teachings from the perspectives of students, professors, imprisoned and formerly imprisoned persons, and artists. This allows readers to engage in multi-sensory, inter-disciplinary, and multi-perspective teachings on criminology’s often discussed but seldom interrogated mythologies on violence and danger, and their wide-reaching enforcements through the criminal legal system’s research, theories, agencies, and dominant cultures.

Abolish Criminology serves the needs of undergraduate and graduate students and educators in the social sciences, arts, and humanities. It will also appeal to scholars, researchers, policy makers, activists, community organizers, social movement builders, and various reading groups in the general public who are grappling with increased critical public discourse on policing and criminal legal reform or abolition."

@AstroMigration Post of the Day

Today's #POTD (https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/111025157450982774) goes to UK astronomer Prof. Sam Lawler @sundogplanets:

"Almost all the satellites you can see with your eyes now are Starlinks. Nicely demonstrated in this awful/beautiful photo: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap220614.html "

Thank you Prof. Lawler for continuing to remind the world of the catastrophe unfolding in low earth orbit.

Still my favourite this month

French in the second half will be very good I think.

Can see them pulling away after 60 minutes.

There will still be 7 points in it by the end though. New Zealand are not invincible any more.

Hi Fediverse--

Who was the earliest fictional #genderqueer or #genderfluid character that we can give a specific year to? (I don't want to count mythical figures like Loki, unless we know when the myth of his pregnancy was written.)

The earliest I can think of is Krazy Kat, from the early 1910s.
