@IcknieldCC Woah, this is so brilliant to see! Thank you so much for sharing and so great to hear the comic is being used in this way. I hope it was fun to teach on comics! Would love to know what the students thought of creating their own comics 😀

[Gemma Sou @gemmasou]

Absolutely love this! year 8 students creating their own comics about human experiences of disasters. They look brilliant!

[Icknield CC @IcknieldCC]

This term in Geography, Year 8 students have been learning about tropical storms through @gemmasou's graphic novel, #AfterMaria. At the end of the unit they created their own graphic pieces in response to what they had learned. Here is just some of the fantastic work created.

It says something that this isn’t the leading story in all papers - a school targeted yet again. Massacre in real-time incl of children & the world turns a blind eye. https://t.co/mtpkCjr5mn

[Rueanna Haynes @Rueanna_Haynes]

Just heard that #hurricaneBeryl is now a CAT 5 storm heading for Jamaica in JUNE. 10 years ago I spoke about working hard to avoid what is now a reality today. My heart is literally broken.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I welcome any review of my mandate & all documents are available to the UN because I have never had, and will never have, anything to hide.

But the latest #UNWatch move is beyond the pale. They use an email from the UN which simply acknowledged the receipt of their complaint to falsely claim that the UN "has opened an investigation" against me.

UN Watch: keep ignoring Int'l Law, keep turning a blind eye on Israel’s massacres of Palestinian civilians & children, and stay focused on the world's most pressing issue: the (UNPAID!) fellowship of my research assistant.

Back to work now.

@jonburkeUK thanks! Hackney is the place to be on a hot day then! I'm doing some research in Manchester and the residents i spoke to say they've reduced but I'm trying to find some stats too!

[Gemma Sou @gemmasou]

Can anybody shed light? Does anybody know if public drinking fountains have reduced in the UK? Do you know why this happened? And are there stats on how many have been lost and in which locations? @jonburkeuk?

[Cerisier 🇭🇹|🇵🇦 @kryscerisier]

Greatful for the opportunity to write about the over 200 year occupation of Haiti. Haiti is not a cursed island but purposely oppressed one. Every conflict on my island has been instigated and funded by foreign powers. A free Haiti is a free world, please read. ✊🏾🇭🇹

@KsChmutina @LboroIAS @Joannemaher Oh this sounds ace. I’ve been thinking lots about all my fieldwork failures and how to write about them

[Gemma Sou @gemmasou]

✨Attention all scholars of disasters✨ This book by @AijaziO is on its way to me in the post and I am genuinely very excited to delve deep into its ideas.
