The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

The popularity of “new antiquarianism” challenges how we understand research impact - LSE Impact Research in the humanities is not confined to academic institutions. Particularly in history & archaeology where "new antiquarianism" creates public research.

This sounds fascinating, I look forward to hearing more about Stephanie's work and eventually perhaps
how I might apply it to trying to fill in gaps in my research into my grandmother's history.

@philbrickellmp.bsky.social Can Labour not find somebody who can predict (unintended?) consequences of policy statements and posts? So many mis-steps lately. Or if the consequences are intended, then it's even more worrying.

How long are we going to pretend involvement with BCG doesn’t reflect ill on the profession?

Students and staff involved with the scheme need to find their voices on this.

Enter Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of Palantir and close ally of Musk. Thiel and his company are now central to Trump’s newest plan: building a massive government-run database on every American.

I try to visualise the work that my volunteers & I do at @projectinfant.ie, but sometimes I need it in front of me.

These are the 2,452 names [mothers & children] we've found, continuing to work to the total: 3,658.

It really hammers it home seeing it all there in black & white.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Why I’m Resigning from the NSF and Library of Congress I cannot participate in systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging.

"My resignation represents such a refusal, not a surrender of responsibility but an assertion of it." time.com/7285045/resi...

[Librarians] are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them.

If their councils are in a similar state to some local to me, they might struggle with banning working at home when they find out how many council buildings have been sold off to raise funds.

Social work bursary levels frozen for 11th consecutive year - Community Care Social work bursary rates worth £1,200 to £1,900 less annually than they would have been had they kept pace with inflation since 2014

The last time social work student bursaries increased was 2014. That’s the year of the ice-bucket challenge, Scottish independence vote, Interstellar, King Joffrey’s death, Brazil World Cup, Pharrell's "Happy"... That is history, and this is a scandal.

@socwkhistory.bsky.social I wonder if anyone can suggest sources of information about the role of "social workers" in hospitals prior to implementation of the 1926 Adoption legislation? I am helping someone to identify her adopted father's birth family. He was born in hospital in March 1926.
