i can't explain just how offensive i find it that you can write a whole book about india but have literally nothing to say about the protests and rights-claiming (!!) that is taking place in the country right now

🇵🇸 🥋 Amid Gaza's ruins, children return to taekwondo lessons In the central Gaza Strip, Mahmoud Al-Kronz trains children and young people in the martial art of taekwondo amid the ruins of war.

WHW & ADT's Abortomat is upending how #abortion care has been thought of & is the result of decades of feminist organising & science-making. @luberropizzarossa.bsky.social & I write on Abortomat & "feminist abortion commons" for @kings-sga.bsky.social: kingsglobalaffairs.substack.com/p/polands-ab...

evergreen sentiment, i think.

is it me or does carlos alcaraz look like Freddie Mercury

Higher education is in a once-in-a-lifetime crisis. The funding model is broken, jobs are being lost and courses are being cut. We’re fighting back and demanding the government properly funds our sector. Find out what’s happening and support the fight: educationitsours.org.uk⁠

this is absolutely devastating. 90 programmes. NINETY. this is a gutting of social science, an attack on unionising and collective bargaining, and a colossal disaster that is *squarely* management's fault. solidarity with our edinburgh colleagues, and colleagues across the sector.

going on sabbatical? parental leave? gotten a promotion? a gentle reminder to update your @ucu.org.uk account to reflect any recent shifts!

Milo knew exactly who ICE was targeting and exactly how they were treating people. He repeatedly called for more of it and joked about masturbating to the violence. His "Wow my eyes are opened" tour is a dishonest, cynical cash grab and the media shouldn't facilitate it.

ted lasso is so disappointing. what a disservice to its characters.

where there’s a racist witch hunt, there is also Kauffman, Orr, & ££ from a tech oligarch

I don't think people understand the extent to which this has been a decade plus long billionaire funded campaign (obviously Thiel is involved). We've tried to ring the alarm about these eugenicists but it is too easy for them to get parroted by the mainstream media. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/18/t...

We are writing to the Prime Minister, and the Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, calling for an immediate public inquiry into the British press, following the tragic death of Jason Arday. Sign here 👇

I wish media outlets would describe Nathan Cofnas as a racist rather than a "self-defined race realist" which doesn't mean anything to most people. His writing meets any definition of racism however narrowly and cautiously drawn.

Dear twats: even if that racist ableist little shit is “joking” about being a professor of eugenics at Harvard, such a joke is ghoulish and unacceptable, to say nothing of making it IN RESPONSE TO a death he certainly had a hand in.

You know who wasn't hounded to suicide for dodgy academic research? ANDREW FUCKING WAKEFIELD.

Yes they absolutely are. And the message this sends to other people of colour in academia is ‘we weaponised the press against him and we can do it against you’. There’s so much shame to go around here. But there’ll be fuck all contemplation or reflection from the press or Cambridge.

It is in fact about ethics in journalism, and I for one would like to see some

not even former prince andrew was hounded like this. fucking vile.

I hope every person who made the editorial decisions around this story has a long, hard look in the mirror, and then resigns.

Jesus. People really don't think about the human costs of such right wing hounding.

so much sorrow, shock, and rage. this is horrendous, and so fucking devastating.

Coming online briefly to express sorrow, rage, love and solidarity for colleagues of the global majority, especially in higher education. If you need to speak, rage, grieve, just sit with someone, drop me a line. Hold each other close

If only Joe Public would care about academia as much as they do about witch hunts in academia

“Providing sexual and reproductive health support to women is not a parallel track alongside the Ebola response: It is the Ebola response for the 642,000 women of reproductive age — including an estimated 37,820 pregnant women — in the affected areas,” www.semafor.com/article/07/3...

it's still wild to me that i can't access any of the Indian opendata portals outside of India. like, what kind of state secret does the HMIS hold? not like my old passport would've done me any good in accessing the data anyway, given they've said it's not proof of citizenship.

I do think it’s really weird (colonial? morally repugnant?) that scholars whose research careers & books are on/about India, have nothing to say about the protests. Doesn’t matter how much you wrap your work in the language of in/justice, if you can’t engage when it’s spilling over it’s meaningless.

I can’t explain how funny and sharp the student protestors in India are. The jokes, the memes, the sarcastic commentary, the commentary, the care. We protested too, we hoped too. Woh humara waqt nahi tha, ab inko dekh ke itna garv hai.

it is unconscionable to be a sitting head of state, opening the monsoon session of parliament while your young citizens are getting lathi charged & tear gassed down the road … & you have nothing to say to them. what are they demanding, really? accountability from the state. All they get is silence.

where are all the sarky comments about Rayner back in Housing post?

SPECIAL REPORT: This is what it is like inside the network of far-right groups behind the recent wave of anti-immigration protests in Glasgow 👇 Read the full story here: www.thenational.scot/news/2...

The Battle of Algiers at 60 conference in Cambridge. CFP deadline 4 August 2026. This will be a great conference on an important anticolonial film. Gutted that France missed this train too. Why can’t French academia celebrate/remember their history?! Sigh! www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/51930/
