Again, you may want to look up the history of societies post 1918 flu pandemic.

1. I've long wondered how nations slide into authoritarianism. Why do people accept the loss of their freedoms? Why do they not rise up together against oppression? Now that it's happening in the UK, I think I have an answer. Thread/

The BBC has still not announced who will be announcing our points at Eurovision. Who would you pick?

What a beautiful day to be singing and dancing for #TransRights! Our students are so amazing. They are the reason why I love working in a university. They bring us hope and they really are the future. 🥹❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

On the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, these are the images that will go out around the world. Kids who weren't even born when it was signed, attacking police. Nothing to be proud of

Incredibly interesting piece and real food for thought. Is the inevitable next step of disruptive environmental activism a turn to violence?

I wrote about HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE (the movie) + HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE (the book) and the thorny question of whether the climate movement should embrace sabotage https://t.co/cEcxG44rtk

This is a really interesting story, and a good non-sensationalist write-up.

We need to think about what counts as integrity. The students cited as using AI in the article we’re using it in ways which are at least cousins to reading books in a library. https://t.co/gW5cgzMoM3

“Hands off Putin, yanks!” Russia is really, really not taking the arrest warrant for Putin well.

A few of the highlights, starting with words from House Chair Vyacheslav Volodin ⬇️

Interesting article. How can we make a difference now? #ClimateEmergency #ExtinctionRebellion #greenparty #dontlookup

[tashi chanda @tashi_chanda]

Since yesterday's budget I've been mulling over our responsibilities at this time - wether as individuals, political leaders or society as a whole. Faced with environmental collapse, where do we go from here? https://t.co/DLPvssCgbK #ClimateEmergency

Sorry for the silence! Been a hectic few months. Happy to report that I started a PhD programme in January🎉 Finally getting my head above water and looking forward to publishing some more words @Medium.
