So I ordered 2 pairs of shoes from @SportsDirectUK and was told they would be available to collect on Monday 6th latest, and wld receive a notification email. This didn’t happen. I contacted their Customer Services dept and complained, and was told they would be ready for

A colonizer is always angry, because a colonizer is always guilty.
A colonizer is always violent, because a colonizer is always afraid.
A colonizer is always angry and afraid because a colonizer is never home.

Lately I started getting words for it, this colonizer homelessness, the fact that colonizers look and feel like aliens to natives not only because they don't belong, but because the colonizers themselves feel the same way.
Think about it: wherever a colonizer goes, whatever they see, smell or taste, it is never theirs, or completely natural. It is not organic to them, but engineered; their whole existence is.
Whatever sustains and nourishes the native, threatens the colonizer and reflects their strangeness: the food, the music, the landscape, the flora and fauna. the sounds and smells, everything.
Whatever comes naturally to the native is a great effort for the colonizer: they don't understand the codes, and never will. They can't be still.
Aa colonizer is not an immigrant, a tourist or a guest, they have to find meaning for their stay. It must be a higher purpose, a higher calling, else what can explain both their presence not home, and the violent means they always need to maintain it? We are not designed to inflict pain and injury for comfort. We need a story to put us in a positive light.

So much of the western world's anxiety, I think, is just a colonizer's latent, repressed homelessness. Because colonialism is not just taking other people's home, it is also, and forever, being without one yourself.
@coen_sharon @UKMediaPsych I think far more than we care to admit… I think more and more ppl conform to certain standardised behaviour in social settings b/c media informs what traction shd be to a given situation, and how such a reaction shd be presented…
US spy tech company Palantir was recently given a £330m NHS contract to create a huge new data platform, provoking privacy concerns around patients’ medical data.
They are now giving full support to Israel’s genocidal onslaught of Gaza.

Incredibly impressive @CIJ_ICJ from South Africa, everything that’s openly available for all to see presented with clarity. It has been hard for broadcasters or journalists to tell the full story without access but neither @BBCNews@SkyNews showing this live as it unfolds. Why ?
Academic freedom is supposed to protect scholars pursuing knowledge for the benefit of humanity. Yet, right now in the UK, many educators are struggling with the hypocrisy of telling students to think creatively while self-censoring due to the risk of losing their livelihoods.🤐
