I always tell people I went to school with Martin Sheen. He was in my English and Philosophy classes at NUI Galway in the late 2000s. I used to see him at work out in Salthill too and he was genuinely lovely to everyone.

Well that's disappointing to say the least. I relished teaching Chomsky in psychology after falling in love with his work on propaganda in the 2000s. It just confirms what intersectional feminism has always known about so-called progressive men.

“The best way to proceed is to ignore it,” Chomsky wrote to Epstein. “That’s particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder.”

Ecstatic that CLS featured my research into ethnicity and childhood injury. I found the results so interesting and I'd love to hear what others think!

I was just coming here to say the same thing! It's been the same in previous seasons too. So depressing to see it playing out over and over.

How about that I passed my viva and finished my PhD! 🥳🥳

I was just thinking how apt it is that the FF candidate is a literal thieving landlord too

💡While cultural & behavioral differences exist between ethnic groups, these didn't statistically explain injury variation. We need more research on mechanisms behind minority ethnicity and first-generation migrant families' protective factors! 🧵4/4

🌍 KEY INSIGHT: The protective effect was mainly explained by maternal migration status in Pakistani and Bangladeshi families - children whose mothers were born outside the UK showed lower injury rates. What explains the protective effect of first-gen migrant parents? 🧵3/4

METHODOLOGY: Longitudinal analysis of 12,717 children from the Millennium Cohort Study, measuring injury outcomes at age 5. Used logistic regression to examine socioeconomic factors, ethnicity, migration status, parenting factors & household composition. 🧵2/4

🚨🧪 NEW STUDY ALERT:

Children from Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Black African & other minority ethnic backgrounds in the UK are LESS likely to suffer unintentional injuries than white children, despite facing disproportionate disadvantage.🧵1/4

I hope this doesn't get in the way! There doesn't seem to be any update about what happened at all.

I hope Martine Croxall faces consequences for her petty, discriminatory, and unprofessional behaviour. If 'woke' presenters must face disciplinary action after expressing their views while not at work, it's surely even less acceptable for a newsreader insert their opinion into an on-air news piece.

As a *very* pregnant woman, I just want to reiterate that the inclusive term 'pregnant people' takes absolutely nothing away from me and the fact that other people who aren't women can also be pregnant doesn't mean I'm not a woman. Also, are women not people?

I love Leo Varadkar's optimistic view that NI would shun a Reform government in Westminster for a progressive one in Dublin. It's cute and all but holy moly is this his first time visiting?

Freedom Flotillas: A history of attempts to break Israel’s siege of Gaza The Madleen, launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, is one of several Gaza-bound vessels intercepted by Israel.

URGENT: UK MUST ACT TO PROTECT THE MADLEEN & ITS CIVILIAN CREW

🚨Greta Thunberg & other peaceful protestors have been abducted by Israeli forces from the UK-flagged aid ship Madleen on intl waters

It was delivering life-saving supplies to Gaza
This is a violation of intl law and UK sovereignty...

I think it's just such a reality check too! Why have governments been indulging this madness for so long, allowing Israel to so blatantly eschew international law. It's so important in so many ways.

Such courage!

Something's in the air!

Feeling strangely hopeful for humanity between tracking Madleen and seeing so many people stand up to the likes of ICE and attending anti-genocide protests across the world. I don't know if it's just my echo chamber but it feels like we're approaching some kind of tipping point.

Old white men: How can we get young women to have more babies?
Young women: Generous paid shared parental leave; affordable, high quality childcare, a decent living wage; and affordable housing.
Old white men: What about a medal?

women celebrating embedding in law of biological determinism which is used to reinforce gendered hierarchies, & embracing the hetropatriachal binary which has negatively impacted the lives of all women are not feminists despite their claim to be,they are transphobic handmaidens of the patriarchy.

We - the Socialist Lawyers Association of Ireland - have released a statement on the UKSC’s ruling today.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Trans women are women. Trans men are men. It should be that simple. It will take a while for all the practical implications of today's ruling to shake out but for now, from this cis woman and feminist, I'm thinking of everyone affected by today's ruling.

I loved it! I listened to the audiobook and thought the voice actor really added to it. It wasn't what I was expecting at all.

She likes her lunch really fresh!
