Very exciting that our paper on qualitative researchers' experiences of the peer review process has struck a chord and is the third most downloaded article from an APA journal in 2025! @janeemcallaghan.bsky.social @jeffnz.bsky.social @andrealamarre.bsky.social @joannasemlyen.bsky.social

The Sheriff in Cumberland County, Maine confirmed that ICE detained a U.S. citizen who is a Black corrections recruit.

This is racial profiling, unchecked power, and state violence happening in real time.

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

When someone cites you and you realise you said something quite clever.. :)

young people’s capacity for agency is β€œsocially, relationally and materially constituted, rather than being an essential quality or production of the individual child” (Callaghan et al., 2025, p. 8).

I must have missed the wall-to-wall coverage of demands for an investigation into Nigel Farage's lies about being a racist

Or about whether he knew Nathan Gill

Or about who bought his house in Frinton

What’s Scotland supposed to do? Consult Nostradamus to find out how we have another referendum?

Rachel Reeves says that even if the SNP wins a majority on its own at Holyrood the UK government will still not permit another vote.

It’s a democratic outrage

For victims, the burden of truth is high.

For perpetrators, any old bullshit seems credible.

"another word for austerity is living within our means"

So how come in the "5th richest country in the world" (as we're often told), it's the poorest whose kids are dying from mould & the disabled clobbered to death by the govt? How come the most precarious die and the richest are just fine? #bbcqt

If you ever have to get top up insurance for a young driver, don't bother with Veygo

Tay crashed my car 3 weeks ago. These jokers havent even got it out of storage yet.

Β£750 excess, no customer service, no sense of urgency.

It is so bad it borders on a scam.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Quite bizarre. Why turn away from the very thing that has made teen vogue relevant.

ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties.

Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan.

Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.

Very disappointing to see such political interference in the curriculum. Whatever one might think about aspects of the existing curriculum (and I certainly have my own criticisms of it), it must be remembered that many individuals and communities gave their time and expertise in its development.
