The new Harry Potter series is filming in Skipton on 21st and 22nd of October if anyone wants to come over here and start practising a new musical instrument very loudly on Sackville, Westomoreland, Russell, and Rowland Streets

This is devastating but hard to think of more important journalism. 18,457 children have been killed in Gaza (many more not accounted for). Here, The Guardian prints their names and beautiful faces and tells us what they were like before Israel stole their lives. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

So much of political discourse now, across the West, boils down to "Be realistic, our policies have to have SOME evil in them!"

And if you say "No they don't", you're a dangerous extremist.

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Folks, it would be hugely appreciated if you could help James raise the money they need to get this sorted.

Please donate if you can and share it about.

I want to tell all students of the so-called 'rip-off degrees' named below that your critical thinking is important and makes valid contributions to culture and society

Without your skills, we wouldn't be able to unpack toxic discourses and do something about them

Listen to Greta Thunberg y'all.

Listen to her tell you "No, I am not a hero. We are all complicit and I am doing the bare minimum."

Really fully process and internalize the intention of her words.

There’s definitely filming under the name ‘Brown Cat’

The Israeli regime doesn’t stop its war crimes for a date. Why should protests against them?

Greta got a lot of shit for going from climate change to Palestine but there's likely a stronger connection than you think between the fossil fuel industry and the growth of belligerent autocratic states that support or tolerate exactly the kind of thing that's going on in Palestine

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism

And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia.

It’s really that simple.

(So many shameless hypocrites around.)

I live near there. I’ll try to get some more information

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

🚀 @greenparty.org.uk has grown from 58,000 members in December to 86,000 today.

Six years ago, consistently polling around 2%. Now, above 10%.

Green councillors leapt from fewer than 200 to nearly 900.

Green MPs from one to four.

This is the beginning.

My dad is 84 and still claiming he’s not old

Almost 300 participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla are still detained by Israeli forces, who are reportedly subjecting activists to brutal physical and verbal abuse.

This is not “a matter for the Israeli government”. It’s a violation of international law.

Reminder to the #histSTM #skystorian crowd that there's an online, free seminar this pm UK time which feels like it might speak to a lot of contemporary interests (including #EnvHist - see you there!

“The Cass Review's contradictions are striking. It acknowledged some trans young people benefit from [blockers], but its recommendations have made this currently inaccessible to all. It found no evidence psychological treatments improve gender dysphoria, yet recommended expanding their provision.”

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

The bbc refusing to offer Zack an interview on the Laura K show? Imagine my shock that their agenda is laid bare for all to see

Not to be *that* obnoxious academic, but the term "moron" was invented by eugenicists to classify high-functioning "feebleminded" people, and most often targeted at women who were sexually promiscuous.

The instinct of this government is ever further restrictions on civil liberties. It is authoritarian at its core, and at this stage needs to be opposed by anyone who at all considers themselves a progressive.
