going through a homeworking checklist and I can only read this with the tone of 'do you see a monster staring back at you from behind your shoulder? are you haunted by the ghastly image of your own face?'

I went into this believing that the Royal Family should have all public funds stripped from them and everyone should just stop paying attention to them, and I continue to believe that.

The uk media should address structural racism with the kind of fervour and swiftness with which they address being accused of structural racism

[Eirnin @queertyyr]

I’m currently writing about hypermasculinity and Viking Medievalisms in white supremacy... the horns, valknut, and the ‘tree of life’ (Yggdrasil) on this guy underline this terrifyingly perfectly.

do I want to know?

@cambtweetasnac (also good luck with your essay! that weekly supervision deadline cycle is the worst)

[Robin @bee_farseer]

@cambtweetasnac this gave me visceral flashbacks to the whole 'a woman must have written it because it has BABIES in it' theory 😭 I have never hated an article more

The fact that the wealthiest in the UK live 8 years longer than the poorest, and have 20 more years of disease free living, is as shocking as any Covid statistic. It’s also one of the main reasons our Covid outcomes are so poor. Covid accelerates existing inequalities.

This. This is the thing.

We often talk about how we start a sth and forget and forget it, of course that happens to everyone. But what doesn’t happen to everyone is that we lose sight of what we want in life because we have difficulties engaging with things we love, making us question if we even love it

[Lauren Townsend @LaurenJTownsend]

No stamp duty if you can afford to buy a home. Cheaper dinner if you can afford to dine out in restaurants.

But nothing to ease the pangs of anxiety if you’ve recently lost your job, are facing eviction from your home, or are using foodbanks every week just to survive. Cool.

[edie @ediemmill]

genuinely think the installation of “clapping” as a pancea for things we’ve collectively decided not to deal with properly is one of the worst developments in the british psyche for decades

[Robin @bee_farseer]

@thelindsayellis this is why I get so angry when English people complain about Welsh and Irish language revival efforts/funding- WE are the reason they're necessary in the first place, funding is the least we can do at this point

A reminder that #TamirRice was killed for having a toy gun, while #PatriciaMcCloskey pointed a gun at peaceful protesters with her hand ON the trigger & is still practicing law + sits on the Missouri Bar Association’s ethics panel.

Don’t have access here so don’t know who’s being quoted but this attitude is really unhelpful. If it is going to be ‘impossible to make a living’ then it’s not passion that will get you through - it’s access to private wealth. This must be resisted.

we realised the place we were ordering takeaway from does baklava. I have been blessed

BREAKING Cecil Rhodes statue will be taken down at Oxford's Oriel College #RhodesMustFall #RhodesWillFall

[Leah Holmes @leahmholmes]

52% = "the people have spoken, we have no choice but to act on this and if you disagree then you hate democracy"
70% = "the results have been skewed by people who care about things, best thing to do is ignore it and make things worse for people instead"

Fuck the Tories.

Today is the anniversary of the Pulse massacre.

Understanding the history of institutionalized racism is key to understanding this weekend's protests. @JSTOR_Daily has compiled a syllabus to help contextualize, teach, and understand: https://t.co/iOVvcM6AOU
