here's the article, really fantastic work: https://t.co/UEa626wy9L

[Somaya ☭ | yuta kaisen @arguablysomaya]

likely nobody cares but i found a paper reconstructing igbo names from a french slave ship and its so fascinating how little "chi/chukwu" shows up even though "god" is now the root of the majority of igbo names! likely a more modern naming convention than we thought

I may be in the minority, but if you [knowingly] purchase a ticket for an event, and the reduced ticket price is specifically due to needing to be there before a set time, then having to pay extra(or the difference) isn’t a “scam”

I dont believe in Asthma, its a mindset thing, you gotta lock in and breathe

Because they themselves, secretly behind the whole facade hold the same views.

The ‘Britishness’ of it all is stark

[Daniel Grigg @Daniel_Grigg]

The only reason it became a big story is because right wingers wanted to use it to undermine all black people.

And the journalists who piled in knew that was the only reason.

[Simon Baron-Cohen @sbaroncohen]

In 2014 we published the first large-scale study of suicidality in autism, subsequently widely replicated, revealing that 1 in 4 autistic people have planned or attempted suicide. That’s why I’m very concerned about the impact of the media coverage on Professor Jason Arday who is autistic. He has been accused of plagiarism and he was cleared of any academic misconduct following a rigorous investigation by Liverpool John Moores University. And yet he continues to be systematically discredited over every detail of his life, daily. We should of course always investigate plagiarism to protect academic standards. However, I cannot stand by and watch when an autistic man is on the ground and the kicking continues. This is relentless bullying of a vulnerable autistic man and raises safe-guarding issues. It’s time to stop.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

In the final months of his life, Jason Arday was subject to a relentless onslaught of attacks and abuse.

Jason was a human being with friends and family - but he was turned into a pawn for vicious culture wars by a cruel media industry motivated by racism and clicks.

The lessons are never learned. When will the British media face accountability for its behaviour?

Jason was much loved by those around him. May he rest in peace.

As one of the few black academics in the UK, I can say with certainty that many of us are struggling with our mental health and that this devastating moment might be very triggering for some. Please speak out to someone, dont be alone with your thoughts right now @samaritans

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

Jason Arday was hounded by the British media to death.

188 articles in 9 days.
249 articles in 22 days.

Over plagiarism controversy.

Nathan Cofnas—a sacked Cambridge race-theorist—started the allegations.

As someone who has experienced a smear campaign, I can tell you with full certainty that it can take you into total darkness.

They forget they are dealing with a human being. They forget it is someone's entire life they are tearing apart.

This is what sinister journalism does.
Shame on the British media.

Because we’re black, and not white 👉🏾👈🏾

(that’s comparing a ‘white traditional wedding’ and ‘trad wedding’, not a registry oh)

[Clem 🌿 @SirClmnt]

Oh and absolutely no trad wedding, why am I burning money on a wedding recognised in another country when I don’t ever plan to live there?

Everyone is so boring. When my mum was 33 she was in the clurb.

[💕 Doll Face✨ @smoke_nd_pearlz]

She had POSTPARTUM PSYCHOSIS. She KNEW something was wrong. She tried to get help MULTIPLE TIMES. Tried to be admitted to inpatient psych but they kept dismissing her saying she was fine. She tried different psychiatric drugs. She BEGGED & PLEADED FOR HELP && NOBODY gave a FUCK!

She killed her kids after trying so hard to keep them& herself safe and after she did that she tried to kill herself but ended up living and now she’s trying to plead her case to a bunch of people AGAIN!!! Everybody failed her AND those children.

BREAKING: Thames Water is due to run out of money by the end of the year, as it remains in discussions with creditors, regulators and government to recapitalise the business.

Its annual results revealed it's £18.5bn in debt

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Not exaggerating when I say the future depends on this catching on en masse. Kids, adults. Book clubs, silent reading groups. For the past twenty-five years tech has corroded our attention, intelligence and basic pleasure in living, and books are the key to winning them back.

[For Black Women UK @forblackwomenuk]

Triple Black femicide: Zandile Tshuma, 42, and her daughters Natalie, 15, and Nala, 5, were found dead in Bedfordshire.

Police have named her husband and the girls’ father, Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma (also known as Mark), as a suspect and believe he left the UK for Zimbabwe.
