When the horror starts for all of us, regular immigrants, second generation citizens, people with strange-sounding names, communities that celebrate different holidays, we will ask ourselves at what point it could have still been stopped. At THIS point.

If you see these vans in your area, make like Glasgow, surround them and stop them.

Don't let them break up families, deport our friends, our neighbours, our colleagues.

Don't let the Tories pretend that this is anything other than an election stunt.

I'm a firm believer in making academic research free for all, not just for those with 'institutional access'.

I wonder how these anti-abortion fanatics takes themselves seriously.

Not only is 'Europe' a country, but when challenged on this, they respond with an article discussing many of the DIFFERENT countries in Europe and how DIFFERENT their policies on abortion are.

I was accused of 'overthinking' in response to this video I made for my university department's socials.

Overthinking?

Overthinking?!

Me? Never...

What shape is time (in )?

In case you'd missed my unhinged discussion about everything ... Here is two day's worth of research on the shape of time.
