This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

I'm looking for a book recommendation that is well researched but not dense that counters the anti migrant narrative. Something with flavor! Context: someone I know has said they think they're being persuaded by the anti migrant rhetoric. #Migration #AcademicSky #PoliticalTheory

Stand up for people speaking out on Gaza What is happening in Gaza is a state-sponsored atrocity – and one of the states sponsoring it is the UK. Support people speaking up!

What is happening in Gaza is a state-sponsored atrocity – and one of the states sponsoring it is the UK.

Many feel it is their moral obligation to say so. But we know what it means to speak against Israel’s genocide: massive pushbacks.

So we're supporting them πŸ‘‡

Interesting. I haven't found it to be clitchy at all as of yet. Are you using it on Windows, iOS, or Linux?

I've been using it for two weeks now and I've found it to be brilliant. The fact that I won't be reliant on my university post viva for it is fantastic, and I find it to be a really clean UI. It's very stripped back. It serves the purpose though and that's all I need!

Aerial shot of Gaza City, burned and bombed into burned and shattered, unliveable wreckage as far as can be seen.

Whole area that used to be houses, shops, public transport routes, made into rubble and blackened, unliveable ruins. Aerial shot shows vast area entirely obliterated as habitable, attacked again and again by Israeli forces.

Several wrecked Gaza schools, shown from the air, pulverised by Israel's forces: windows all gaping, bombed out and covered in ash and dust. Some people are trying to live in makeshift camps amid the destruction, in former quadrangles and bomb sites.

This what Israel has done to Gaza. Forbidden pics by a Washington Post photographer whose Jordanian air crew didn't pass on Israel's order to only photograph aid being dropped. City, suburbs, schools, people: bombed to rubble. People being starved in makeshift camps on road roundabouts. #Genocide

Photo of the Day.

Israel threatened reprisals if the press filmed Gaza from above during airdrops.

This is why. A scene of destroyed & burnt out buildings in what is left of Gaza City, the pre-war home to 800,000 people.

A hairdresser once asked what I researched, I considered lying but then said, "philosophy." She smiled, "oh so like the thing with planets & rocks?" She made several more guesses, & when I tried to explain she said, "so you get to like tell people how to make decisions then?" I felt horrible inside.

We don't have to push children into poverty.

We don't have to make life harder for the sick and disabled.

We don't have to aid and abet genocide.

For too long, people have been denied a real political choice. Not anymore.

Relatable content as I scroll through Bluesky on one screen with my thesis open on the other. Do I have an impending massive deadline? Yep, a fucking massive one. Did I beat my partner to the washing up today for the first time in about a year+? Yeah baby, I did. Do I have ADHD? What do you think?

A β€œworst-case scenario” famine is unfolding in Gaza according to experts.

The World Food Programme says Gaza needs to be flooded with 'large-scale food aid' to β€œprevent mass starvation”.

Now is the time for the UK government, and others, to ACT. There is no more time to waste.

Fully in support of this, not just within universities, but nationwide. Demonising addiction and substance misuse only isolates and ostracises individuals, rather than ensuring that they feel and know that a safe space exists should they ever need it.

This week is a travesty. I’m two laptops down. I’m poorly sick & waiting for meds to kick in. I’m stressed to the MAX which I’m certain my referencing software can sense. And what was already an immensely tight deadline is only getting tighter as these hiccups pile up! #AcademicSky #ThesisDeadline

Incase you weren't angry enough. But there's a balm for this wound. Corbyn and Sultana's new party www.yourparty.uk Real change is coming, if we all unite and fight together. We don't have to accept politcs that ignore the needs of the masses. There is another way. There is a better way.
