Really grateful to have had the opportunity to present my doctoral research - Education Activism, reproduction and rhythms of resistance - at the International Marxist Feminist Conference in Porto. I have learnt a lot here. 🌹

This baby is 16 today!

She had a Physics mock… last year was a snow day so fate is balancing itself out! Off out for birthday tea soon… “don’t bring the cake as it is well embazz” 🎂

Thank you! Hope you find some you like!

Pickets across the country. A march through Leicester.

Hundreds of jobs on the line.

We’re not standing by while the sector burns.

We will continue to fight.

Congrats to all involved for yesterday!

😡 @unitetheunion.bsky.social demands independent Investigation into blacklisting at @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social.

This is a clear threat of anti-union blacklisting, which is illegal under UK employment law.

Mary Sheffield will not only become the 1st woman mayor of Detroit, she is now the youngest Black woman in U.S. History to be elected to a major city.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Like Black Power Desk last night, incredible soul-reaching through art… and much needed ♥️

Black Power Desk

"1970s London. The streets awash with a fever of political unrest, the rhythm of the sound system culture is birthing a new era of soulful lover’s rock, fusing RnB and reggae, amidst the covert Black Power Desk operations of New Scotland Yard." #Musicals 🎶

It’s wild how Israel imprisoned some
British activists from the flotilla like two weeks ago and Starmer was like: it’s a matter for Israel but there’s been an emergency parliamentary meeting to discuss football hooligans from another country and how we welcome them

Text reads SPECIAL DATES~ CHRISTMAS - GARETH B'S BIRTHDAY. In your dreams, Gaz, get out of my address boote! 29 February: my BiRTHDAY (Чаy! ) 18th December - mum+dads anniversary 31st October River dead Image of two forever friends teddy bears walking with scarf

Peak teen content uncovered sorting:

Special dates: my friend Gaz’s addition (Xmas, his birthday), my birthday (unlikely to forget?), mum & dad’s anniversary (clearly running out of noteworthy dates…)

Then, above Forever Friends bears, written in purple felt-tip:

31st October: River dead

BREAKING: Israel has ordered shut the Allenby Crossing, the only gateway for three million Palestinians in the West Bank to the outside world, “until further notice,” in what appears to be a response to the wave of recognition of Palestine by UN member states including key European allies.

Farage’s plan to scrap indefinite leave to remain dubbed ‘unworkable stunt’ Doubt cast over figures used by Reform UK leader as experts warn of labour shortages

He is talking about my friends, neighbours, family and work colleagues. This man is evil and reminiscent of 1930’s Germany. Why isn’t Starmer condemning him in the strongest possible terms?

General strike for Gaza shuts down Italy "Let's block everything with Palestine in our hearts"

A photograph of a packed picket line on the southern edge of the University of Nottingham's campus

A photo of a picketer with a very good boy looking on with the respect that the university should be giving too

A group of picketers holding a sign that says Students Support the Strikes

An inspiring first day of picketing to kick off our 4 weeks of strike action! Faculty, students, AND a dog or two made an appearance.

Student fees should fund education not restructures and rubbish systems

New to pickets? Talk to us! @uonucu.bsky.social

After applying for "over 100 jobs" she landed a contract at a fast-food chain in the second term of first year. She soon found herself working about 30 hours a week - often finishing at 02:00. With public transport done for the day by that time, Tiana would shell out £8 for an Uber ride to avoid walking alone at night - and to give herself more sleep ahead of 09:00 lectures. Sometimes working involved making sacrifices. "One of my friends got an opportunity to do a legal internship through this paralegal event that I wasn't able to go to because I was at work," she says. "I missed out on that."

Making the entire #UKHE system rely on student debt exacerbates all the inequalities: only those who can afford it can undertake career-building activities, others are scrambling to survive.

It’s shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
