Dr Laura K (she/her)

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Completely measured, non-hysterical, nor fully demented commentary from the Telegraph

It's notable that the only student speech frequently shut down on university campuses is a) pro-Palestine b) pro-trans-rights. The OfS seems *deeply* unconcerned about that speech being limited. In fact, they want academics who oppose those positions to have the right to 'shock and offend' students.

Some of y’all can’t handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

The last time he pulled this Muslim ban BS, people rushed into the streets in disgust & lawyers raced to the airports to help. Now, no one’s shocked, everyone is numb… This country is in seriously scary shape

Who?

🎤 If the government wants national renewal, they should invest in the arts and culture 🎤

Today, we're launching a petition to remind Rachel Reeves: the arts make our lives happier and our communities stronger. Now is the moment to invest in them 🌱

I’m profoundly sad to say that as of today, I’ll no longer be able to do my job as co-artistic director of #Touretteshero because of a recent decision by #AccessToWork to cut my support by 61%. Read & share this post, the hardest I've had to write: www.touretteshero.com/2025/05/23/a... 1/4

Talent Development at Sheffield Theatres? I sure hope it does.

Below is a thread of our current opportunities! Including the newly announced Theatremakers Group for emerging artists of all disciplines in our region!

Big fan of this as a method, both for bigots and for disengaging with male academics that We All Know About.

I’m still looking for someone to share my Edfringe digs with.

1-15 August in Leith. It's a 1-bedroom, with a private bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room (I don't mind where I sleep). £1400, so it would be £700 per person for the fortnight.

Shout if interested and feel free to share!

Since the GE, I’ve been saying to anyone that listens that Labour needs to stop pandering to the far right base, and make changes that will improve people’s quality of life, otherwise they’re gonna go full fash and Reform will sweep the next election. So many folks have said that would never happen

the white working class falls for it every time. they are told immigrants or queer people are getting “special rights” even as billionaires hoard trillions.

Burned building

Burned building with a stream of water trying to douse the flames

White building burning

For anyone who needs some GOOD news, Nottoway Plantation—burial site of countless victims of the rape, maiming, and slaughter of the formerly enslaved but where white people love to brunch & get married—has burned to the ground.

May the ancestors continue to rest peacefully. Amen.

He’s innocent! Free Alfie!

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.

They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.

It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

But ok, I get it, I’m a massive fucking drain on the economy and threatening British identity, right, got it

Anyway, today I’ve been working for a British small business then teaching at a British school, paying to travel there and back on British public transport, eating dinner made of food bought in a British supermarket, then teaching British students online this evening

Love to be reminded that I’m not welcome in the UK purely because I’m foreign, it’s my fave

Opinion: Migrant workers prop up the UK’s social care system. Now… Labour’s crackdown will break a promise made to workers like me – and leave the system in disrepair

A lot has been said about Labour's hardening of immigration rules & dehumanising rhetoric, but nobody is sharing the opinions of migrant workers.

That's why we commissioned Nandi Msezane, a care worker in East Sussex, to write this piece for us. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...

Starmer making the Hostile Environment policy even more hostile by quantifying migrants’ worth is giving ‘incel telling his mate that the female had it coming because of her high body count’

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

Not a lot, thankfully - but the edfringe releases are starting to come in and one I got yesterday made me physically recoil

Please, stop inviting me to review shows written by/using AI. I’m not going to come or pass the invites to the other writers of TPTTUK

If you're on a visa in the UK (i.e a migrant) you do not have access to public services. You pay for the NHS and pay taxes. So someone like me funds public services 100%
