The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Very specific one, but if you work on Venice or its former empire the Gladys Krieble Delmas foundation has a small research grant scheme for UK/Commonwealth/US researchers.

It's good to know that this is more of a universal experience than I'd imagined. Very happy to be part of this group 🤣

Just don't share A.I. slop of any sort. I've seen a wave of Sora shit on various social media platforms.
A.I. is destructive on too many levels to ever encourage anyone to use it, and sharing or liking is encouragement.
Complicity in the destruction of our planet and humanity.

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

"Most problems in writing come from the anxiety caused by the unconscious realization that what you write is you and has to be held out for others to see.", 🎯

What's effectively happening here (in the British media at large, too) is the construction of "anti-racism" as somehow a "political alternative" to racism, rather than as a minimal civilisational standard, which in turn (further) vindicates racism as *also* an acceptable political position.

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal.

This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer.

It's clear to everyone the BBC is giving Nigel Farage and Reform far too much coverage. It is dangerous and it has to stop.

Just 1 week left to submit an abstract! #historysky #medievalsky #academicsky

Also, side note: the "I love the smell" line comes immediately after Colonel Kilgore orders an airstrike on a village full of civilian women and children so they're out of his way so he can surf.

Unintentional, but pretty fucking on the nose

Ah yes.

Only a week left for this #cfp!! 🤗
Come and join us in Leeds!

Anyone I know on a visa is 100% of the time nervous about that visa. They're not going to try to just oopsie their way into staying in the UK for longer. All this correspondence does is intimidate an already very intimidated demographic.
