Fri, 12:22: A blog post on the future of sourcing, re: @rickperlstein and the right-wing attempt to smear him. http://t.co/hSWFqXjoHv
Fri, 12:22: Basically, the post says - this online sourcing thing works. I agree, but it does give the book a shelf-life in the way print doesn't.
Fri, 12:28: My understanding is that #Salaita did, in fact, sign a contract, fwiw. That could be wrong. @roopikarisam
Fri, 12:28: In that IHE piece, Nelson writes, "Had Salaita already signed a contract..." @roopikarisam
Fri, 12:31: . @roopikarisam In Salon - http://t.co/yvJM5S6YYj… - "normal contract was offered, signed, confirmation of salary, teaching schedule..."
Fri, 12:32: RT @c_perry: @Lollardfish @roopikarisam he had. All offer letters say 'appointment subject to BOT approval'.
Fri, 12:38: On #Salaita and his contractual status, this piece from @Salon has confirmed info: http://t.co/WguI0bsjaQ. Still needed approval though.

Fri, 13:19: Daily Post: A Hamas spokesperson went on Lebanese TV and invoked the blood libel as both a "memory" and a "fact." http://t.co/QEO96q1EYi
Fri, 13:21: I am a medieval historian. I work on memory and myth in the 12th and 13th centuries. To see the blood libel simply stated as truth startles.

Fri, 13:22: My blog post (http://t.co/QEO96q1EYi) links to this excellent @CNN piece by good scholars -http://t.co/TT4n2W9VHN
Fri, 13:42: RT @candidamoss: FINALLY: Hamas denies Jewish blood libel belief http://t.co/XqyGDDGp0S #cnn @Joelbaden
Fri, 13:43: My blog post today - http://t.co/QEO96q1EYi - builds on excellent reporting from @candidamoss and @JoelBaden #FF
Fri, 14:06: 1) What's so powerful to me about the Hamas comment is that he says, "We remember" then "it's a fact." This is how myth propagation works.
Fri, 14:07: 2) Moreover, he says it on a station called Al Quds. Now, class, do we remember what Al Quds means both literally and symbolically?
Fri, 14:12: RT @medievalpoc: If you burn the manuscripts of an entire people and then tell them they have no history, is that not violence? http://t.co…
Fri, 14:18: 3) As a smart friend notes, this is a medieval WESTERN myth now grafted onto the Middle East. A legacy of colonialism, perhaps.

Sat, 00:17: Hmm, a reader said I didn't condemn the blood libel myth and the Hamas spokesman who propagated it strong enough. http://t.co/8YohyW2g86
Sat, 00:17: Genuine question - was my rejection of this myth and everyone associated with it not clear in my post? http://t.co/8YohyW2g86
