@V21collective It has lots of functionalities, best to tinker with it at first + save the tutorials for specific qs. It helps me spatialise my writing and decouple it from the linearity/verticality of Word. I keep two ‘frames’ open + keep all my citations/drafts/misc info/TofC in the sidebar.
Don’t let this moment placate you.
The social and economic systems that have led to our present conditions and the fascists who have exploited them aren’t going away anytime soon.
Now is the time for systems change, and no one at the top is going to bring us that.
It is on us.
i never said my goal was equality. for me black feminist praxis is not about ‘a seat at the table’ next to a white man; it’s another galaxy where there is no concept of a table and there are others forms of communing not based on exclusion, which is what the table metaphor is btw
as everyone knows, coronavirus can only be transmitted when capital isn't being accumulated, so circumvent new lockdown restrictions by simply turning your social gatherings into opportunities for commerce and charging your friends to spend time in your presence
All material for my online courses is open to anyone interested in following along. This semester I'm teaching about the history of the Internet, the culture around it + the role of artists within it, and basic web design with HTML/CSS/Javascript. Feel free to DM if interested!

Our open letter to @Cambridge_Uni demanding they honour their offers to students from Widening Participation backgrounds who have been seriously affected by Ofqual’s completely unfair grading system.

@sharlsssssxx @MMLL_Cambridge can we ensure that this student gets the resources and faculty representation she deserves to appeal an unfair decision? I hope to welcome her to MMLL next year, her rejection is unconscionable. Please help right this algorithmic wrong.
@sharlsssssxx Hi Sharls, I’m a postgrad in MML at Cambridge, please reach out to me if there is anything i might do to help. I’m not a student rep but perhaps I can draw your case to the attention of our faculty and ask other postgrads to make an issue of your unfair rejection. Good luck xx
Given our far too slow track record on "widening participation", as a matter of principle, @Cambridge_Uni should honour all existing offers made to state sector candidates regardless of result.
Boris Johnson’s govt literally came to power on the back off mass data abuse. This is the story I’ve been trying to tell for last 4 years. And these techno-solutionist algorithms & AIs are being installed in heart of govt. This is just the beginning.
@alisousa4 Alternate suggestion: buying a bunch of cute custom sticker packs on Etsy or some adorable envelopes or vintage stamps and making your letters unique and personalised. Draw your own stationary border, treat your envelopes to some arts and crafts maximalism, sticker into oblivion
