Delighted and excited to be returning back to @britsoci.bsky.social Conference in 2025, with not one, but two papers in very different fields

Will be another great week!

In response to the PM citing the country intends to work with exploitative, asset stripping companies like Blackrock, @labourlewis.bsky.social sums up the problem, as we all know it to be, quite simply.

Gazan Humanitarian Scholarship We offer scholarships for citizens of Gaza who have been displaced as a result of the ongoing conflict in the region and are living in a different country (outside of the UK).

Blackrock is one of the most powerful and utterly corrupt shadow banking outfits in the world. BlackRock has been criticized for investing in companies that are involved in fossil fuels, the arms industry, the People's Liberation Army and human rights violations in China.

I imagine it's got something to do with most people having migrated here to *escape* seeing racism and far-right rhetoric on their timelines, Lewis

Bluesky is proving a fantastic relief from the hellhole that Twitter was turned into.

But it's crucial that the most marginalised voices (like those suffering genocide) are here too.

If not, X will remain relevant.

Missed this one - if living in England is important then you could follow the Jaguars who have played a game over here every year for like a decade

Otherwise, I'd recommend tuning into RedZone on Sunday at 6, and seeing which team you vibe with the most

It's the New England Patriots, they're an NFL team :)
