Historical fiction & growing things (mostly edible & from seed) = my sanity

Right up my street thank you 🙏🏼

I miss our interactions on “the other place” really nice to see your face and hear your voice on the webinar - I’ve been working on pollution & ecology for my next project so great to have your brilliant chapter to guide me (as well as your other very many published works). Lovely to make contact.

Great webinar @sumingkhoo.bsky.social - finally caught up with the recording after missing the “live” event due to care responsibilities. I absolutely love the environment section of the book. Congratulations 🙌

Every single one of those graves is for a little girl between 7 and 12 years old. This is the reality of American imperalism.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I also missed as was in hospital with a close relative, so I hope it was recorded as well ❤️

Thanks Gerry - and thank you for your super important work on austerity, social murder, premature death, I use it regularly for teaching and research

“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

Dirty water, death and decline: the inside story of a privatisation scandal There is no end in sight to the pollution caused by a ‘broken’ system. Experts say it could even be getting worse

“Prof Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to clean water, has singled out the English system for criticism, saying water should be managed as a publicly owned service, rather than run by private companies set up to benefit shareholders.”

Such a good piece today from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com which shows that the declining graduate premium is very much a UK problem rather than a general (or inevevitable) consequence of more people going to uni www.ft.com/content/649d...

I know it's hard to believe someone who proposes penalising women for not having children would do something sexist.

Have you read our report📖 published jointly with @sagepub.com, which demonstrates how the social sciences are contributing to the wellbeing of the UK through 8 broad principles supported with evidence & case studies yet? Download➡️ acss.org.uk/publications...
