Whether you understand it or not, 2 years of IDF Soldiers Starving, Beating, Raping, Butchering & wiping an entire people off this earth via live-stream video will Radicalise you. & Being able to witness all that & Still remain Un-Moved, makes you a fucking Psychopath.

For BHM, let’s look back at when Britain abolished slavery & how uprisings played a significant part. Firstly to clarify, plantation owners received a share of £20 million compensation, £17bn today, enslaved people got £0.

But today, clearly some politicians still want more ££

This is beyond grotesque. The photograph is of Palestinian civilian tents burning with people inside, the victim in the headline is Israel. A truly putrid & degraded media.

[Dr Naida Redgrave @NaidaRedgrave]

Those saying the world has always been like this are ignoring the specific aspect of social media 24/7 access coupled with dissonance. A little while ago on here I saw a child with their skull blown out — I immediately vomited — then just hopped on a Teams call. Feels unhinged.

My little one developed an early love for space science thanks to books like ‘Look Up’. This has led to them recently presenting a segment for the British Science Festival AR exhibit ‘Black in Science’. Thank you @DapsDraws & @NathanBryon representation truly makes a difference!

Always try to be the sort of person that makes others believe in good people

Remember the episode of The Thick of It where Ben Swain goes on Newsnight? That is all.

Does anybody know what Kemi Badenoch actually means? Because I don't think even she knows what she means 🤷‍♂️

KB, "You cannot change your sex, you can change your legal sex"

Ed Balls, "So you are saying you are happy with people changing their legal sex?"

KB, "Yes"

EB, "You want to change the law to be clear that someone can change their legal sex"

KB, "When we do this we will be able to distinguish between sex and gender"

EB, "I assumed you were going to legislate that people cannot change their sex at birth, but you're telling us that you're going to change the law so somebody can change their legal sex"

KB, "No no no I'm sorry Ed no that's not what I said"

EB, "That's what you just said"

KB, "We're clarifying the law to saw that the Equality Act when it refers to sex refers to biological sex.. The gender recognition.. We need to move away from the term legal sex and talk about gender"

EB, "You used that term, not me"

KB, "Yes yes because that is what the law is now. I'm talking about what the law is and how we're trying to clarify it and make it clearer for the future"

@VVbrown I haven’t quite managed it myself, but if you’re guilt prone, I think trying to be fully present during one or the other so that you aren’t feeling constantly pulled in all directions. Boundaries and priorities when it comes to work (harder when work is a creative outlet though)

[Dr Naida Redgrave @NaidaRedgrave]

I use ‘greater’ here to mean larger, dominant, prominent. Not to mean ‘better’

[Dr Naida Redgrave @NaidaRedgrave]

This is exactly why I teach intersectionality - positionality matters, yet is brushed off as if recognising individuals is somehow indulgent. EDI, for me, is about acknowledging the greater systems in place that have pitted us against each other.

[Dr Naida Redgrave @NaidaRedgrave]

Before it was my workplace it was my place of study.I took a module called Lyric, Rhythm & Sound & studied a Stephen Rodefer poem that started ‘Julie my duck’ & from that moment on I knew I wanted to be the kind of person who taught stuff like ‘Mon Canard’ to people who needed it

What experience in the workplace radicalized you?

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

There are things that only become understandable when your faith in the world has completely been shaken and you have to piece it back together, and poetry is one of those things and religion is the other. It's possible to understand and even adhere to both without that experience but the depth is difference...wading in to your ankles vs standing in the rough water to your neck.

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

This is a great observation and a really good way to judge anything: Is it being done for the applause, or for the substance? Whatever is done purely for the applause will not last and it won't be good. Because what's the plan if the applause stops, or if it doesn't come at all? The motivation doesn't last. Venerating the self doesn't last. What tends to last is a desire to connect with other minds (or hearts, if one wants to be a bit twee).
