Disablement, mental health, sustainability

Didn't know when I'd be coming back to this hellhole, but - as I've *finally* sent the research summaries off to my participants - I've decided to shamelessly plug my MSc dissertation on understanding mindfulness as a practice of self-government:

@ZedBooks @BloomsburyBooks Currently working my way through @EllenClifford1's (brilliant!) book #TheWarOnDisabledPeople. Surprised to see nothing on an audiobook yet: seems important for a text like this to be as accessible as possible. Anything in the works? Take care all

You did not ‘get it wrong’. You were lied to and used by ‘senior Tories’ as part of their election camapaign. They breached your trust. You should now disclose them. It’s an important story because this is how autocrats behave; they use & abuse people like you for their own gain.

[Ronan Burtenshaw @ronanburtenshaw]

The BBC has just written a story about research showing that *88%* of Tory adverts this election are misleading or lies, while none of Labour's are.

How have they framed it? 'General election adverts are dishonest.' Beyond ridiculous. https://t.co/5G68xpJ1wq

Polling station: come over
Me: I can’t, it’s too cold outside
Polling station: Boris Johnson is going to sell off our NHS

Why does every editorial mistake from sections of the press benefit one particular party? 🤔🤔🤔

Reminder that streaming is not for music collections: buying records is orders of magnitude better for the artist

@therealmushy @LeDevinCircus @Spotify I think 43 million streams for an artist recently translated to about $2k US

You voted repeatedly to cut their benefits

THE TORIES HAVE LITERAL NAZIS STANDING IN THIS ELECTION

[Martin Hogg @Martin_Hogg]

I expected the comment Hart liked to be one of those dumb ones with plausible deniability that fascists love like 'it's okay to be white'. Nope, it was fucking 'ein Reich'

[Martin Hogg @Martin_Hogg]

This is the same person who has been arguing that people with Down's should get paid below minimum wage because they just like working & 'don't understand money' anyway. That made me angry, but this just makes me feel sick

[Jon @TheLitCritGuy]

The gray horizon of capitalist realism wavers even slightly and centrist pundits recoil in horror at the glimpse of a marginally better world.

[Martin Hogg @Martin_Hogg]

Love that they were already prepared with this

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

When politicians resort to blaming immigrants, you know they've run out of ideas.

There's an innuendo to be made with that last sentence but I'm not about to deliver it

[Martin Hogg @Martin_Hogg]

First time public speaking today - presented to a room of about a hundred people. Awful lot of anxiety for what couldn't have been more than 5 minutes, but glad I've gotten it out of the way

[Matt Zarb-Cousin @mattzarb]

Mr Corbyn, you have made it impossible for me, a literal fucking billionaire, to vote for the Labour party

[Marcus Barnett @marcusbarnett_]

A pregnant employee of Mike Ashley’s was so scared of losing her zero hours job she gave birth in a warehouse toilet. She cut the umbilical cord with a box cutter & went back to work a few minutes later. That’s the sort of country Mike Ashley is happy with - look who angers him.

Thoughtful article, though "Banning academic travel would cement existing hierarchies and privilege" - really? The last 'international' conference I went to, ~95% ppl from EU/USA/Aus. More virtual could mean better, wider participation.
