If I were designing a lecture capture system that was going to be automatically recording and uploading classroom content to anyone with a UCL login, I don't think I would call it "Panopto"

Thinking about doing an interpretive phenomenological analysis for my dissertation so that I can study as many different IPAs as possible (my last degree was in linguistics)

my partner is still eligible, and despite multiple immunocompromising conditions, this (because it is counted as immunosuppressing) appears to be the actual basis. so yeah, if this is you, check in.

it sure is upsetting to like doing research and exist in late-stage capitalist academia

I’ve just added my voice to this consultation saying I don’t want a situation in which staff and fellow swimmers might scrutinise or judge my body, or anyone else’s, when I use the ponds. The current policy of trans inclusion works perfectly well. You can fill out the consultation linked below.

Eventually, the police withdrew and demanded Mosley turned around. Anti-fascists celebrated the collaboration between Irish Catholics, Jews, Orthodox Jews, dockers, Somali seamen and more inhabitants of the East End. Fascists portrayed the event as their freedom of speech being denied.

Protesters attempted to block the route of the march by obstruction. Marching though the East End, which had a large Jewish community, was an obvious provocation. Barricades were erected in Cable street. The Metropolitan Police then tried to clear the way leading to various clashes.

89 years ago, on the 4th of October 1936, antifascist counter protesters stopped a British Union of Fascists march through London’s East End. The Metropolitan Police tried to clear the way for the fascists resulting in violent clashes known as the Battle of Cable Street. #otd #history 🗃️

The thing to know about Trump's autism and paracetamol claims is that the cruelty is the point. They want women in pain and disabled people stigmatised. And they enjoy showing they can lie outrageously without accountability. I worry that debating the science is to play their game, by their rules.

It’s just incredible that the police can shoot two bystanders while responding to an attack on a synagogue, kill one of them, and then violently arrest forty people that evening for protesting in the wrong place “because we have to keep Jews safe”. Who keeps us safe from you and your guns?

Labour or Conservative, governments always find a way to demonise Palestine solidarity protests – this time Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's version of Suella Braverman's "hate marches" is "un-British" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Speaking as someone with Jewish heritage: if you think that increased police powers cracking down on Palestine protests will keep Jews safe, you are deeply wrong and probably deeply racist.

THE MEME IS REAL

*laughs in UK*

It’s not really the point whether leucovorin “works” to “cure” autism. The point is if you think I need curing, you’re a eugenicist and fuck you www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

It's #worldsuicidepreventionday so here is one of the best pieces of mad writing on suicide and loss I've read, by @rrowanolive.bsky.social madcovid.wordpress.com/2021/06/02/w...

Once again struck by the similarity between parents talking to babies and me talking to the dog

This is hilarious on many levels AND ALSO, my guy: people might not make such an effort to show they aren’t moving under their own steam if you didn’t try to get assaulting an emergency worker charges added every time an arrestee trips over an officer’s foot

"We have asked them to stop being floppy"

stay floppy, pals

Normally not massively into writing to mps because mine is fuckin. Starmer. But I trust @transsafety.network to assess when and how it’s useful

Anyway this is blowing up, check out this handy template letter to send your MP. bsky.app/profile/tran...

This is Weird Bug Lady erasure

Getting ready for bed knowing there’s people still sat in parliament square patiently waiting get arrested feel pretty wild tbh

funny how the messaging on research is “do fewer things but do them really well” while the expectations on the ground for university staff have become “do everything”. “we replaced X person/process/division with an app which will be more efficient. oh btw u have to reenter the data manually”

Yvette Cooper looked at current British asylum policies and thought, what we need is for *more* children to die in the English Channel

Never mind, the article I was working on is going to be published

hmm u know it's interesting that Marina Hyde dismisses creatives 'using their platforms' to make statements. bc I remember her outrage about creatives organising through FFB to hit genocidaires in the pocket instead of turning up at festivals and making statements www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well. That was somehow both predictable and disappointing.

@noreenmasud.bsky.social hello Noreen how are the cat boys doing, I miss their big round heade

Statement on Insta from one of the women Alex Davies-Jones MP had arrested for harassment when they dared to ask her about her voting record while she was out campaigning, on the events of first day of their appeal against their prosecution:

rise and shine!!!

How was your bank holiday weekend? I gave myself some kind of repetitive strain injury in my fingers from knitting

“Brønlund’s adoptive mother, Gitte, who is half-Greenlandic and lived there until she was 37, said: “It feels like you are not allowed to have a trauma if you are going to be a mum.””

“During the course of the 26-day sit-in, the Black Panther Party played a leading support role in providing food for the demonstrators. Over and over again, the disabled protesters credited the BPP with literally sustaining their struggle, “keeping us alive body and soul,” as one person put it.”

This is the criminalisation of transness. That's it. Nothing else.

Thank you to @nsunnews.bsky.social for funding the research. The full research article is available here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Are you for real right now 😭

Rebranding as a livid experience consultant

Ok so despite my previous post re. perishing, I am a deep middle coauthor on this which has in fact been published

100 Women's Rights Organisations, including @rapecrisis.bsky.social, @refugecharity.bsky.social, & @evawuk.bsky.social have signed a letter warning that attempts to link rape & violence against women & girls to immigration is a racist distraction. They urge the govt to address dangerous narrative

such a rare treat to see one of these majestic creatures on their migratory route

Oh it’s publish or PERISH? I’ll take “perish”, please

ORDER YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS BEFORE THE BANK HOLIDAY KLAXON

Even when everything is grim, there are still moments of joy.

Literally never misses

Today’s lesson is “never try to set boundaries with a therapy service”. Boundaries are what they encourage you to set with other people.
