It is not enough for Churchill to be replaced on the £5. We must also replace his statue with something that can truly unite the country at this difficult time. Sign the petition here: www.change.org/p/uk-parliam...
Sarah Vaci is a "gender critical" artist who set out 4 years ago this month to create 100 portraits of "female detransitioners." To date, worldwide, she hasn't even found 100 to take part in her project, and at her current rate, it will take her 10 to 15 years to finish.
Why is this important? 1/
Such a dismal tale about the UK govt: so obsessed w competing with far-right to keep out foreigners that it won’t let in the brightest & best from war-torn countries even when they’re hand-picked by the FCDO, lest they ask to stay. Soft power sacrificed, but how many Reform voters will it convert?
Oh no! Footnote referring to the other framing being possible and maybe better, with a hope that they’ll suggest you change it in corrections, or that you can do so if you adapt it into a book? All the best for the last 3 days!
Since coming to power Labour has ignored everything it was saying before the election. Rather than doing anything useful to improve already poor Home Office initial decision making, it focused on ramping up anti-asylum policies and making it worse. 1/

”We are not only fighting for our jobs, we are fighting for each other”: hear from me and other staff and students who joined picket lines at Uni of Aberdeen today 🪧✊🏻 www.gaudie.co.uk/wpress/index...
Students, graduates, friends and family: here's a chance to tell the government what you think about their unfair plans for student loan repayments 👇
Let's see if we can force another U-turn...
Agreed, and/or a link to where the quote is from.
It me
The only words I'm interested in hearing from Tony Blair will be delivered from the dock in The Hague.
in the cars universe the matrix was directed by the kachowski sisters
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
I think these are good commitments and challenges with significance beyond (specifically) feminist theology too.
Somehow it makes the current @labouruk.bsky.social leadership's intentional cruelty towards refugees seem even worse when you consider that 10 years ago the minister in charge did indeed recognise refugees as human beings, visit them, show compassion, and support rational humane solutions.
Wow, doubling down
WAR CRIMES DON'T HIDE SEX CRIMES!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!
Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river
The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"
Wait, got autism and adhd mixed up, autism was indeed two years (in 2022)
Two years? I was told six on the standard nhs list and that was in 2024!
Can’t believe I have to say this, but in no way are God’s plans served by slaughtering children. How Christianity relates to this situation is that Jesus made abundantly clear he suffers and dies with all other victims of empire
An infographic with weighing scales showing that the majority of universities not on X outweigh those still using the platform
If you are part of a university or UK facing research organisation, publisher, funder, learned society and they are still posting on X - they're in a rather uncomfortable minority now. Perhaps point them to the eXit.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.
Starmer must withdraw permission for the US to use UK bases to launch airstrikes on Iran and parliament must be given a vote on any UK involvement.
The events of the past 48 hours have laid bare Keir Starmer's utter inability to stand up to Donald Trump - and this weakness could have serious consequences for the safety of British people.
And another new low. Helping the US commit war crimes. At least Blair had a pretext. God weeps and bleeds with the victims and all victims of violence.
This is yet another new low for this government. And as Gorton and Denton made undeniable, they’re not even doing it because they think it’s electorally useful, but because they want to.
Here is @ducu.bsky.social ‘s analysis of management’s most recent response to our request to negotiate. Management took extra time to deliver us a response that was a flat and unequivocal “no, we will negotiate NOTHING with you.”

It's ASOS time, everyone! We regularly hear from colleagues that they're working, to use a technical term, "silly hours"; way beyond what could be considered reasonable. It wasn't our first choice to end that via action short of strike, but it was clear SOMETHING needed to be done, so here we are.
