Also, no one starts off knowing how to draw well.
YOU HAVE TO DRAW BADLY FIRST TO GET BETTER.
You have to draw daily, badly, before you ever get better.
And its fun, sometimes, and painful, sometimes.
Why are we teaching our students that none of this matters because "the machine will do it"

ITV were interviewing a guy who was holding a white flag in the street in early 2024. As soon as the cameraman switched off his camera and they started to walk away, an IDF sniper shot the white guy flag through the heart. The problem here has not been a failure of understanding.

British Jewish leaders call for rapid increase in Gaza aid UK’s largest Jewish body adds to pressure on Israel, saying recent move to allow in limited aid was ‘long overdue’

It’s too late now to start worrying about whether the genocide makes you look bad, lads. Everyone saw.

No it does not.

No One is Coming to Save Us Building collective power in the age of individualism.

"The right wins when people believe that a hero is coming to save them.

If the left is going to win, we have to provide an alternative: one that empowers people through collective struggle, rather than the false promises of powerful men."

your honor, it was really because of capitalism when you think about it

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip.

It is not a threat.

It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now.

"There is a deep attraction, on the part of far-right leaders and movements, to Israel as a state, because Israel is an ethno-national state based on racial exclusion."

New article!

In this extended introduction to an imminent SI, I argue for renewed engagement with key Marxist debates about exploitation as a way of understanding the mutations of contemporary global capitalism.

If you are more angry at a chant directed at a genocidal army than you are at newborn babies being burned alive or suffocated under rubble, then you are a monster.

I am pleased to see academics pushing back hard against the unquestioning adoption of AI. This quote captures all of my concerns in a nutshell.

Pouring paint on a killer plane, one that provides the means of pursuing genocide, is an act of humanity. Anyone who dares call it an act of terrorism is either a fool or a sponsor of genocide. [And I do not believe they are fools!]

The Office for Students has caught wind of my plan to wear shorts if the current heatwave continues.

Twenty years in education and I have seen so many things that were going to "save teachers time" and then it got weaponized into "if you don't use this, you're ruining your students' future" and usually when that mindless zealousness comes around it's less than a year for that tech to collapse.
