"There's been a reticence to acknowledge that there are ethical difficulties in doing certain kinds of historical research and very few resources for historians who are dealing with accounts of other people's pain." @ruthbeecher.bsky.social and Julie Wheelwright on writing difficult histories.

The fate of Glasgow's last city centre arts production building is crucial to the city and to the role of art in it. Eviction could happen from this Friday. Please sign the petition www.change.org/p/save-trong... Join the protest on Friday. Write to your MSP, MP, councillors. Resist!
A call to join the campaign to save Glasgow's last remaining city centre art production spaces, under threat of eviction despite having a 25 year lease, terms of which are being summarily rewritten by the council.

Holding important meetings, lamenting bad things, urging people to do good things. The same routine for 20 months. And all the while the arms exports continue, the surveillance flights continue, trade and investment continues, normal diplomatic relations continue. Complicity in genocide continues.

Israel is starving Palestinians. BDS calls on all supporters to immediately escalate peaceful disruption and other forms of BDS pressure on states and the UN to force Israel to end the genocide and the siege of Gaza now. If not now, when?

As the university's management escalates by pressing ahead with up to 38 compulsory redundancies, after losing over 260 of our colleagues through voluntary severance, our membership’s clear message remains: STOP this. Members are upset angry and aghast by the behaviour of university management.
