@Qiaochu_Zhang3 Congratulations Dr!!!!

But the question is: are we more concerned by the deaths of people on a yacht in Sicily than the deaths of people crossing the Channel because of the differential racialisation of bodies in question or the wealth (and therefore importance) associated with those bodies?

[Izzy Morrell (she/her) @IzzyMorrell]

Finding the extensive coverage & effort to locate bodies from the sunk luxury yacht jarring compared to the usual coverage of ‘migrant’ deaths in the Channel https://t.co/cMXGWysPD5

[Izzy Morrell (she/her) @IzzyMorrell]

Particularly interesting are references to “victims” who died on the luxury yacht compared to the “Channel migrant deaths” which are normalised in the media

A Level results day 10 years ago I went into labour - was a painful way to celebrate the end of my miserable high school experience.

Yesterday received an email from my child's nursery about safety measures due to local racist violence. Ironic how outrage for the children in Southport has now made others unsafe across Britain #RacistRiots

So so so hopeful by all the resistance I've seen this week! The student camps, every single person contributing to anti-raids nationwide and all you lovely wonderful people in Peckham today 👏👏

[No Borders MCR @nobordersmcr]

Numbers STILL NEEDED at Dallas Court to support ongoing resisting -- another van is waiting at DC so it's anticipated another removal will be happening imminently.

GET DOWN as soon as you can -- safety in numbers! We keep us safe! ❤️

Update: Unfortunately, the van left from Dallas Court with members of our community inside despite attempts to stop it.
Super grateful to all those who turned up in solidarity 🧡

Working (from home) on my presentation for wednesday's CGP seminar series, but with a sick baby with me, I am not being v productive. Besides, I left my laptop charger in the office (16% battery remaining). The odds are against me. Send help.

This paper draws attention to #racially #minoritised students’ strategies of navigation and resistance in UK #HigherEducation. In so doing, it challenges deficit discourses whilst also revealing the persistent weight of #InstitutionalWhiteness in HE.

It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Later! 📸👋

Ahead of Liz and Janet's last day on Thursday, we met up last night to celebrate our shared achievements.

But more important than reminiscing our highlights was enjoying the unique spirit of this amazing team.

It’s been emotional! 🥹

[Izzy Morrell (she/her) @IzzyMorrell]

@ManchesterCoS @BBCNews Notably - MCoS are not the only local support service struggling with funding. This is concerning when we know that charities 'fill the gap' made by inadequate govt policy (see: @LucyMayblin & James 2019)

[Izzy Morrell (she/her) @IzzyMorrell]

Devastating that the month @ManchesterCoS netball made @BBCNews for its incredible value, MCoS announces that we cannot continue these sessions (& other social/active sessions) due to a lack of funding.

Very sad to say goodbye to Liz & MCoS as we knew it last night!

[Manchester City of Sanctuary @ManchesterCoS]

🎥 Our netball made the news! 🏐

For #InternationalWomensDay, @BBCNews covered the mental health benefits of our women’s netball sessions. We’re so proud!

In the words of Christina, a regular attendee: “it makes me happy for my mind, to be busy.” 🗣️
