@tortietabby.bsky.social
Delighted to see that my review of Laura Kelly’s brilliant book
Contraception and Modern Ireland is out with @irishhiststudies.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
Essential reading for anyone working on histories of gender, feminism, contraception and Catholicism
I’m feeling especially relieved I switched to researching left-wing activism now
Tweet from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges."
The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.
I’m very much looking forward to it!
I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
For UK and Irish students - scholarships are available for our MA programme in Gender & Sexuality (and other MAs). See www.birmingham.ac.uk/study/schola... for details.
Text from an article in the Guardian by Kemi Badenoch “By restricting social media use for children, we aren’t just protecting children. We can also give more freedoms to adults online. We will no longer need to contort digital spaces to be universally “child-friendly”, or impose blanket restrictions on speech and content because children might see it. If we stop treating children like adults, we can stop treating adults like children too.”
Significant harms were raised in the Lords yesterday that do not uniquely apply to people under 16
Then you have this from Kemi 🤦♂️
There are incredibly dark and damaging dangers online and this goes much wider than young people
The idea that a hard-start at 16 will fix this is for the birds

The US is threatening to invade a European country 🇪🇺.
One small way to resist: use European alternatives to US big tech:

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war
If he can't get off on a "personal use" excuse then I don't know what Europe's coming to.
Yes. And translators, badly paid, have been trying to make people aware of this, but they have only a small platform. Need writers and readers to be aware and speak out.
All my foreign language contracts going forward will stipulate that a real person translates.
This is such great news, I can’t wait to have erasmus students in my classes again
Wowwwwww
Oh this looks brilliant, will look it up!
In yet more devastating news, the VC has confirmed her plans to cut 80% of academic staff from Essex Pathways, our foundation year department. This would effectively close down all our existing foundation year programmes through the back door.
But it's not a done deal yet. Please share urgently.
