Today, I was invited to present my research with my Global Threads colleagues at the Science Museum Group conference!
I shared my case study research on Elk Mill, Oldham, & its global significance.
So grateful for this opportunity ☺️❤ #TextilesConf22 @AzizFndn

"Books only have two smells. The smell of a new book, which is good, and the smell of an old book, which is even better."

Good night

Idk who needs to hear this but nourish your mind. Read books, write poetry, dive into art. Happiness will never reach any of us if we’re all caught up trying to satisfy what the world wants from us. Our spirit is craving knowledge, creativity, and inspiration. Our souls need art.

[leila @ainiladra]

please read ... books, poetry ... please think & reflect ... know your history ... it matters much more than this screen-addled, instant gratification, sound-bite, consumer based irreality tries to tell you

A huge factor in the collapse of our collective mental health is the decline in reading for pleasure. Reading lessens loneliness, builds community, sharpens the intellect. It brings joy. You will be shocked at how much better you feel if you begin to read regularly.

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

The police killed one of the two victims and shot one of the three currently receiving treatment. That's 50% of deaths and 33% of injuries.

Did they offer Mandela a two state solution for ending Apartheid?

Palestinian statehood is a right. Not leverage to use against Israel.

[Clarence Thomas the Tank Engine @TheRealJChubby]

Something deeply evil about a society that creates a trillionaire before it solves homelessness or hunger

Big up, the actor who unfolded a Palestinian flag on stage at the Royal Opera House.

[Nate Bear @NateB_Panic]

It's really worth being very very clear that a genocide started and people obviously started protesting that and the British government responded by creating a new category of terrorist to enable the genocide to continue. This should be a radicalising event for everyone

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

Palestinians aren’t stateless because they failed to negotiate. They’re stateless because colonialism doesn’t negotiate with the people it plans to erase.

[Sarah @Sal_feeko]

They once called Nelson Mandela a terrorist, and now they have a statue of him in Parliament Square, London.
