Mrs R: "There was a woman on the ward today who didn't want to take paracetamol. We've had to explain that we're not giving it to her because she's got a fever and we want her to feel better, but because she's got a fever and if we don't get her temperature down then her baby is going to die."

student induction is just over a week away. my first lecture of the year is in 17 days. how do we teach social justice or bioethics or, well, anything at all without grappling with the horrifying fact of genocide or fascism or hatred of trans folks, immigrants, Muslims […]? 1/2

Judith Butler: “We have a right to know the charges against us, to know who has made the charges and to review them and defend ourselves...But none of that has happened, which is why we’re in Kafka-land…It is an enormous breach of trust.” Isn't Butler working on a book on Kafka right now?

Historian of science here: it’s worth pointing out that getting paid for doing research is a fairly recent thing. William Harvey did his research as a hobby, as it were. So did Charles Darwin.

Problematic (to put it kindly) on so many levels. 1) there isn't really 'unfunded' research. The REF is there to allocate resources so that research is possible without a grant.

Thinking of everyone on the clearing hotlines today! May your headset be comfortable, your snacks plentiful, your coffee iced and your spreadsheets intelligible

some maths/econ guy at my uni has decided to set up a heinous "gender critical" network - he's getting absolutely rinsed on the intranet chat, but he's doubled down by completely unironically citing "S*llivan Review" as proof of discrimination. "i'm a stats person". lol have you read that ~review~?

Obviously a lie, since the definition of PhD-level expertise, standard across universities worldwide, is that you can produce original knowledge.

Amazing to think that Labour spent 14 years out of power, biding their time in order to do *this*.

imagine getting anything- blouses for your sari, salwars, lehengas- stitched (well) in India without Masterji.

apart from how appalling this all is, I really feel for satirists- how do you even deal with this level of unbelievable absurdity?

@lidamaxwell.bsky.social on why Rachel Carson’s relationship with Dorothy Freeman and her environmental writing are deeply entwined.

I take the same bus to my gym every Sun. I know my bus drivers by sight & they recognise me too. Today, I boarded the bus & my partner called out ‘bye, see you later’, my bus driver responded, ‘byeeee!’ & waved. everyone at the front of the bus giggled. Not exactly an island of strangers then.

'does the labour party even know what racism is' challenge 2025 (they should given they engage in so much of it all the time and so casually too)

Racism is a system of inequality that stigmatises, polices, and impoverishes various groups of people based on ideas relating to skin colour, culture, geography, religion, etc. So of course it targets folk differently depending on their body or community. No one should apologise for pointing it out.

In the introduction to the Special Issue on Global Reproductive Justice @rishie.bsky.social‬, @lsenderowicz.bsky.social & Wendy Sigle outline how the RJ framework was developed and how it extends how reproductive rights are approached by feminist scholars and activists. 🔗https://tinyurl.com/3mxp4a78

I keep thinking about this one old clip of Andrea Gibson where they were performing (I think) ‘I sing the body electric’ & they were nervous and forgot the line, & the audience chorused the lines & care/carried them through it. I can’t find it now, but I was/remain so deeply moved by it.

Imagine not believing trans people are legitimate but trickle down economics is.

In the early internet days, I was obsessed with Andrea Gibson's poetry. Their writing made me smile & hurt & somehow managed to capture all my big feels & put it in words. 'I said to the sun, "tell me about the big bang", the sun said, "it hurts to become'. 1/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO2Q...

"To this day, there has been no government recognition of the extent to which the pandemic hit India. It remains to be seen whether this will change now that such a clear story has emerged from the government’s own data." - @aashishg.bsky.social and Murad Banaji www.theindiaforum.in/health/will-...

not sure an ‘abortion ward’ is going to reduce abortion stigma (for users, providers, supporters…) nor tackle obstruction (itself a form of structural stigma)

More than 80% of gynecologists in Sicily refuse to perform abortions for moral or religious reasons. Sicily's regional council passed a law requiring all public hospitals to create dedicated abortion wards and hire staff willing to provide the service reut.rs/3IrLOib

This thread is the reality that me and other parents supporting trans kids are living right now. The UK is pushing conversion on all trans kids, and directing state violence against anyone who tries to provide the affirmative healthcare and social support that is a basic right for any trans kid.

absolutely spot on re: why time limits function through stigmatising, anti-abortion logics. these are also the same logics underpinning the so-called decrim amendments: ‘the time limit doesn’t change’.

will anyone talk about radhika yadav’s murder at Wimbledon? the misogyny, patriarchy, and fragile masculinity that underpins her brutal murder is a *global* issue- it’s not separate from Vika’s custody battle, Seles & Petra’s stabbing, Raducanu’s stalker, Dokic’s or Agassi’s father 1/2

Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police. Thank you, Wes Streeting.
