Criticism of biased media coverage of Gaza is often discarded as baseless..

so we set out to study the coverage of Palestinian and Israeli victims by German press systematically!

The resulting study 'Hierarchies in Death' was just published #OA by Peacebuilding www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

There is no such thing, as Starmer well knows, as a "golden ticket of resettlement and family reunion" for people who have been granted refugee status. This is meaningless guff aimed to play to populist fantasies that refugees get provided with everything. 1/

The golden ticket is a good description of what the country receives: asylum seekers like my father who worked tirelessly for the community, such as volunteering at Crisis at Christmas on Xmas day, chairing charities, and supporting youth football on Sundays on top of his normal work.

So if I’ve grasped the galaxy-brained strategy here, it’s:
✅ Day 1: reassure target voters that migrants are a problem & you’re ready to make them suffer
✅ Day 2: tell target voters their ideas are racist
✅ Day 3: reassure target voters that migrants are a problem & you’re ready to make them suffer

Jane Goodall has died.

She was truly a beacon of light in this world.

I had the good fortune of seeing her speak shortly before COVID arrived. She showed such warmth, compassion, integrity, and intelligence.

Jane, the animals thank you for your selfless work.

Imagine landing an interview for your dream job.

But you don't own a laptop, and you can’t afford internet or phone data – all of which are essential when so many interviews are online.

People receiving Universal Credit are plunged into impossible situations like this every day. It’s not right.

Probably that too! I guess they could be linked at any stage pre-publication though

Andrew Livingstone @andrewlivingstone.bsky.social · 15d

I'd say yes - if you're concerned about the editor's reaction then maybe just send a message to the editorial office to say that a pre-print has now been posted?
I think the main reason they ask at the point of submission is just in case it's flagged by plagiarism software
