The UK needs to take action to allow scholarship students from Gaza to take up their places before they lose their chance. Please write to your MP!

Sonia Sodha and Bari Weiss, for example, have claimed to be liberals.

Maybe your definition of 'liberals' is very different from mine

...which liberals??

This is bafflingly at odds with what I've observed repeatedly.

Interesting! Have you read it?

Yeah, their failure to recognise the dangers of exploiting intense interests is definitely a weakness of this research!

Today in 'research that inexplicably doesn't mention monotropism' - still lots of good stuff in there though

Light and shadows of leaves on a sunny morning. In a plant pot, a small Pride flag glows.

Quiet corner.

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

Makes you wonder who these statements are for. The hotel burners hate Starmer and blame Labour for "open borders". Labour must be aware that these street fascists don't care about how much they are being listened to.

So who are Labour trying to appeal to? Columnists? It's columnists isn't it?

Certainly tracks with my experience

Why are the wealthy so well off? The accumulation of wealth has been driving inequality for decades. In the first of two articles we explain the injustice of our wealth taxation

The rich don’t get rich by working harder. They get rich because the tax system is designed to reward wealth, not work.

This article explains how – and what we could do instead.

Based on a blog post by Prof Richard Murphy.

Cold morning. This beautiful smile from the children of Gaza. #gaza#palestine

(Octavia Butler nearly made by list, Banana Yoshimoto I only came across recently and haven't got round to reading the book I bought yet...)

Ha, nearly all writers I've been meaning to read (or read more of) for years!

These are largely people who *think* they're in favour of trans rights, by the way. 😐

What does ICJ advisory opinion on climate change mean for U.S.? The ICJ has ruled that the U.S. has an obligation to address greenhouse gas emissions and protect the climate system

The world is one step closer to holding countries to account for imperiling climate stability amid International Court of Justice's landmark ruling. Nations have an obligation to address greenhouse gas emissions & protect the climate system, the ICJ ruled.

It always results in more extremely annoying emails stressing me out.

My absolute best-case scenario is that one or two of them might not be that committed, and haven't really thought things through yet, so they might just be open to realising their errors...

Every now and then I invest a significant amount of time and energy arguing with anti-trans activists on a Green Left mailing list I'm on.

I don't think I've convinced any of them yet, but I have hopes that at least some of the lefties following quietly might be learning something...

A nazism about nothing, a nazism of "letting it happen bc we have no answers". A nazism of comfortable boring ignorant white liberals enabling nazis who look & sound like them.

A nazism born from pretending any position left of Hegemonic Empire is "extremism" & "unrealistic high school politics"

A thread on the propaganda-and-law machine of the Christian right, centred in the USA but with huge and growing international influence.

They are a threat to human rights everywhere, and playing a major role in the rise of anti-democratic politicians.

Keep it up, lads.

Keep yelling at the processors about OnlyFans, social media, and YouTube/ Spotify.

Not so far, no.

For the overwhelming majority of people who practice it, sports is not about competition. It's about social belonging. Once you understand that, the reason why transphobes want to ban trans women from it even outside of competition and even in disciplines like darts is pretty obvious.
