Well worth reading about the rise of gullibility & cynicism.
“The One True Reason trains a mind not only to reject complexity but to accept bigotry—which is why it’s so ideal for reactionary politics. No housing? Immigrants. No job? Immigrants. Inflation? Immigrants. Immigrants? It’s the Jews.”

I have bought some prints from Gail and they are gorgeous! Support if you can x
It surprises me that it’s as low as 74% tbh
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
But the natural habitat for humans is not, which feels like a fairly significant point to note.
I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap.
I can’t believe it 😭
Listen. To. The. Whale.
I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
Thank you for writing this. It is powerful and really helped me to process what I have been feeling.
God I despise this stupid bully and frankly everyone who backs him. If we emerge from this even remotely unscathed, don’t ever tell me I need to listen to their “legitimate concerns” ever again.
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
I made a paste with them, rosemary & garlic, olive oil, lemon zest and juice and then rubbed it on to the leg which I had made a few cuts on. Slow cooked on a bed of onions for one hour, added a glass of wine and cooked for another 4. I would add a bit of salt next time too.
Not the point of your post I know but I did a slow roast yesterday with rosemary, garlic, anchovies and wine and it was delicious!
Honestly if you are the kind of person who, with everything going on, still has outrage to spare about whether it’s “marmalade” or “orange marmalade”, I kind of both envy and fear you.
I don’t actually think it’s possible to be “mocked” by a person as pathetic and insecure as Trump.
Pitch not pick 🤦🏽♀️

Although if you believe in deregulation to the extent this lot do then “everyone dies sometime” is pretty much the underpinning of their pick to voters.
Maybe they need to give their voters some plausible deniability 🤷🏽♀️
Someone somewhere is getting very rich on the back of all this.
The fact is that the regulator can’t even clearly state that there is no obligation to platform a flat earther but rather we should debate them tells you how far universities are from being able to develop the culture of responsible debate that I can absolutely say, from my experience, they all want
The fact that we have treated speech in universities exactly the same as speech on GB news or a radio phone in is, frankly, very stupid and also an insult to the whole point of universities. 3/n
Right now a requirement for responsible debate would be treated as a breach of the duty to secure free speech and the fact that we have got to this point explains so much about why we are watching our society fracture and fragment. 2/n
I agree wholeheartedly with this piece BUT the blame for this lies squarely at the door of the legislators and regulators whose whole approach has been to treat anything that addresses the quality of speech as an interference with it.1/n
So much to think about in university governance just now, but having spent the last few weeks talking to lots of boards there seems to be a real appetite to change and grasp some of the issues Paul & I discuss in our report.
Headline of piece by Farage on how the uK’s democracy is rotting from within
Farage as the hot dog meme guy “we’re all trying to find who did this”

In a new report @smitajamdar.bsky.social and I have written about a number of current #highered governance issues.
The report covers a lot of governance ground and offers some helpful (we hope) suggestions about what governing bodies should and should not focus on.
