just heard on @6music.bsky.social news about the march for Palestine in London today, the reporter said “there was a small counter protest called stop the hate made up of Jewish people” what?? Do better, there were hundreds of people who made up the Jewish bloc in the main march, as there always are

Very excited to have this in the latest issue of peer-reviewed journal @sonic-scope.bsky.social. It's about Mad Men and a mode of reception that I've called 'speculation'. There's an audiovisual essay and an accompanying exegesis www.sonicscope.org/pub/ft7vttv3...

An important and often forgotten point in relation to the promise to ‘end rough sleeping’. “Women do not rough sleep in the same ways or as often. They're not seen, not counted and therefore, services and funding will continue to exclude women.” www.linkedin.com/posts/grace-...

The news of ending rough sleeping is welcomed, but not for women. With a deluge of funding now expected for outreach services, women will still get missed off. White, single, homeless men are those mo...

I often say the rise in students coming to our dept with diagnoses of various kinds of neurodivergence has been matched with a corresponding fall of students coming with generalised depression. Because, you know. They're getting a diagnosis of the actual problem rather than feeling they don't fit.

this is the outcome of Jewish people remaining silent and not speaking up against the atrocities in Gaza, allowing our trauma to be manipulated and used by others to gain power

Wow, I can't believe Labour's tactic of yelling "DON'T VOTE FOR THESE GREEN CUNTS, THEY'RE DANGEROUS, VOTE FOR US, WE HATE IMMIGRANTS IN A BETTER WAY THAN REFORM!" hasn't led to them keeping all their council seats.

it’s still the same, sadly… there are a few NHS trusts that are investing in dual diagnosis services that work. Also, let’s not throw anything else into the mix like neurodiversity. I’m very sorry to hear about your late wife’s experience

I refuse to accept the labelling of science as ‘left-wing’. Not only because I think this is largely aimed at discrediting facts as opinions, but also -for any insider- it’s so untrue. The echelons of science are too traditional, hierarchical & club-based to qualify for any sort of progressive left.
