@aptshadow.bsky.social I have just finished listening to Service Model. I really enjoyed it. The whole structure, dialogue, characterisation and many cultural references made me smile throughout, but to describe or give names to these would be to give spoilers. A really insightful & prophetic novel.

Is there a good place to look for UK volunteer or work experience opportunities for the summer for a first year archaeology undergraduate? Asking as their dad on the off chance of answers from the community.

In every atrocity in history, the silent are always principal players.

Those who remain silent over Israel's genocide are enabling it to continue.

Their cowardice is paid in the blood of thousands of innocent Palestinians.

Whenever Zionists get pissed about a post like this I realize how much of their project depends on no one seeing Palestinians as actual people and it makes me so much more determined to have their stories be told.
There is a famine again in Gaza- no aid is getting in and electricity and water are severely limited. So if Gazans on here seem more persistent than usual please remember they are desperate and treat them how you’d hope someone would treat your family.

As a start, you can stop organizing conferences with organizations that are specifically used by university admin to repress student protest. And you can refuse to serve on panels with fascists who testify for book bans. C’mon, this is basic solidarity.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way.

Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s.

Have you learned NOTHING?

Not. One. Vote.

Hey men, Dr. Borrenpohl was forcibly dragged by unidentified men at an Idaho town hall for SPEAKING UP and while some women rose mostly to record in fear, I didn’t see any men leave their seats or GET UP to help her. You all need to STAND UP and STEP UP, starting now!

What’s happening now is part of a plan to end democracy:

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.
