When you say Chinatown, many people think of the West End of London, but there was a much older Chinatown in the East, and a new exhibition …

“We need to be weapons of mass construction, weapons of mass love.
It’s not enough
just to change the system.
We need to change ourselves.”

How are we changing ourselves in the process?

Amazing! @HunkinTessa will be talking @Writeideafest about these lovely local mosaics.

How a misleading photo of signage at Whitechapel Station went viral on X https://t.co/YVCLuvD7PC

Tell MAMA highlighted this issue in our previous major report, that, “In a verified case reported on 25 January [2024], a far-right account holder called for the forced deportation of individuals in Whitechapel in East London in reply to a post from a popular right-wing page that sought to spread misinformation and culture war talking points about national identity over bilingual signage at the station.”

The Goldsmiths Antisemitism Report is easy to find. It's on open access online. Here it is:

@SydBolton11 @CounsellingSam Interestingly the KC who did the report on antisemitism at Goldsmiths said that it is 'not axiomatically antisemitic to say that a state of Israel is a racist endeavour'. No one in the press has 'noticed' this. Funny, eh?

Waiting for the hourly news bulletins and 70 different stories about Dr Alaa Al-Najaar’s nine children who were burned to death by Israel.

Never has the hierarchy of death been so stark.

The Israeli authorities are intensifying the genocide in Gaza with more ground invasions and continuous bombardment.

Palestinians are trapped with nowhere safe to go.

This message is for @Keir_Starmer's government: You are failing to fulfil your obligation to prevent the ongoing genocide in Gaza - especially because you continue to supply military parts to Israel.

Words are not enough, we need to see action.

We are all made of stardust

It sounds like a line from a poem, but there is some solid science behind this statement too

93% of the mass in our body is actually stardust, most of the elements in our bodies were formed in stars during billions of years

Anti-racist education has no finish line. This important book from 1990 on 'developing anti-racist education in predominantly white primary schools' remains totally relevant today. We laid my dear, valiant compatriot @EpsteinDeb to rest y'day under a wide sky shared by us all.1/

[The Wiener Holocaust Library @wienerlibrary]

For 'Final Account: Third Reich Testimonies' filmmaker Luke Holland interviewed hundreds of German and Austrian men and women about their memories of and involvement in Hitler’s regime. The collection is rare in its ambition to record oral histories from the “perpetrator side"

If you don’t know this statue, it’s one of our favourites and we like to visit after a walk along the Thames from Hammersmith Bridge, maybe even longer having visited @WWTLondon first.

The Leaning Woman in Hammersmith has her winter coat on! 🌟

We look forward to unwrapping her for her 2024 restoration 💫

I love this piece in @TheEmigre_

There are ways to try to get books to children who don’t have any, or to read with children at primary school. Think of doing something, please.

We can all be refugees
Nobody is safe,
All it takes is a mad leader
Or no rain to bring forth food,
We can all be refugees
We can all be told to go,
We can be hated by someone
For being someone.

- Benjamin Zephaniah, 'We Refugees'
