No arrests in Exeter! ♥️

Yesterday King’s College London reported their student, Usama Ghanem, to the Home Office after they suspended him for protesting the genocide in Gaza. TW: Contains reference to sexual assault and murder.

Unpopular opinion of the day, most of the judgment and weird hatred by Europeans toward people from the US is xenophobia and/or classism, and stems from a superiority complex.

A couple of days ago, I came across someone on LinkedIn who had created a list of UK universities offering scholarships to Palestinian students. If anyone knows who this was or has a link to the list, please let me know. There are a few people I know it could be of use to ❤️

The trains in the South West are literally making me miss London trains. Wtf.

Hola

Small but mighty group ❤️🇵🇸 📍University of Exeter

El Gobierno y RTVE presentan un mapa interactivo con las cerca de 6.000 fosas comunes del franquismo repartidas por todo el país. Todos los españoles viven a menos de 50 kilómetros de una

Eat the rich.

Discovering that the University of Exeter has a campus cat has made my day.

Cats for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 🩷

Bets on whether I can revive my 2012 MacBook from the dead.

NEW from Liberty Investigates: UK universities have offered to monitor students social media accounts for arms companies concerned about campus protests Full story below www.theguardian.com/education/20...

UK promises further restrictions to clamp down on pro-Palestine protests - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-promises-further-restrictions-clamp-down-pro-palestine-protests

The Spanish government abandoned 49 of its citizens and the Italian government abandoned 48 of its citizens.

Sickening. I won’t lie, I have been deeply concerned about the wellbeing of the non-white participates of the flotilla in particular, but I thought she, as both a white and recognisable figure, wouldn’t be subjected to Israeli brutality. I’m holding hope for the safety of all of the activists.

🚨Trump wants to GIVE Gaza to former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair to RUN. Erm how about we lock him in prison for killing a million people in Iraq, and leave Palestine for the Palestinians? Lend a hand to your local bookshop by making sure Blair's books are in the right section x

To British citizens and residents (post by @globalmovementtogaza.uk on IG)

I genuinely wonder if the flotilla would have been intercepted had Spain and Italy not abandoned them.

And in turn, voted to declare certain members of the Labour government war criminals.

Beautifully articulated by @dgkstn on TikTok. The UN is not designed to prevent genocide or humanitarian catastrophes.

Sad about moving out of London but at least I’m now living with cats…

How the hell do you move burro's tail without it disintegrating? I feel like I traumatise my plants every time I move house.

🆘🍉 As the genocide continues, a small number of Palestinian students will evacuate the Gaza Strip for the UK, including four due to join us at Goldsmiths for a.a. 25/26. Israeli authorities are forcing them to leave all they have behind, and they need our practical solidarity. Please donate!

The UK government will be testing the national emergency alert system on Sunday, 7 September, at 3pm.

Liberals pandering to the right are more dangerous than the right itself.

Second good read find of the day (from The Word bookshop ❤️)

Finally came across a DOPE Magazine vendor

Can you hire a body double (or an adult babysitter) on Taskrabbit? Asking for a friend who is moving across country in less than a month…

Facebook Marketplace never ceases to terrify me…

I’ve also just handed in my notice and have mixed emotions. I’ll be leaving Goldsmiths for the third time in my adult life… 🥲

Another beautiful find from the newly established ‘free to take’ bookshelf at Goldsmiths.

What the hell is Grok?

“The 22-year-old is among four students in Gaza who have been awarded scholarships at Goldsmiths, University of London, but are unable to leave the territory as they cannot submit the biometric data needed by the Home Office to process their study visas”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
