Wholesome content on a Friday morning

I would love to be able to promise all my patients that I can provide them with the palliative, social & NHS care they need to die in comfort & dignity. But I can’t, because the care isn’t there - causing terrible avoidable suffering. How about fixing that first, Keir Starmer?

Turkish artist Derya Kilic‘s photography series “To Know, To See . . . ,” highlights male violence against women using imagery from famous artwork #WomensArt #TurkishWomanNeedHelp

You mean mass redundancies, the evisceration of entire disciplines, rampant managerialism, and the fanatic embrace of a profit-driven model of scholarship haven't fostered a climate of open inquiry and big ideas? Who could've known?! 🤷‍♂️ theguardian.com/australia-news…

“Part of the point of academic metrics is to make us as employees feel like we are failing even when we are killing ourselves to succeed.” (Les Back, Academic Diary, p.173-74)

Patients at NHS hospitals forced to pay £2 an hour for ‘Boris bike’ style wheelchairs. Could wait for hours in A&E and elsewhere, cost mounts. Disgusting tax on old, infirm, disabled. Privatisation by stealth. What next? Must oppose. Tell your MP. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/patien…

“As scholars, we confront the uncomfortable reality that Western academic institutions cannot truly be decolonized. What do we do, then? I propose clandestine publishing as a form of intellectual resistance,” writes Aziz Yafi* for our blog 👇🏼 palestine-studies.org/en/node/1656245

Human sacrifice never got banished in the UK. Thousands sent to early grave to appease the gods of austerity, real wage cuts, spending cuts, fiscal rules. None of it delivers prosperity or happiness but govts continue to send more people to early grave. leftfootforward.org/2024/10/the-po…

IFJP is on the lookout for a new editorial board, if you, or someone you know might be interested in taking on the role please consider applying. So please share this with fellow feminist scholars, schemers, and subversives.

Will we ever know the names & stories of 118,000+ people killed by Israel in Gaza? Or the people burned alive after Israeli strikes on Al Aqsa Hospital, where displaced Palestinians sheltered? The UK is complicit in these war crimes. End ALL arms sales & diplomatic support NOW.

In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline. As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone. For example: 1.

HAPPENING NOW: OVER 500 JEWS AND ALLIES SHUT DOWN THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE FOR GAZA. “GAZA BOMBED, WALL STREET BOOMS. FUND HEALTHCARE, HOUSING, FEMA, NOT GENOCIDE.” Jewish Voice for Peace Jewish Voice for Peace NYC

BREAKING: At this very moment, the Israeli military is massacring family after family in North Gaza in a war of extermination. So hundreds of Jews and friends are shutting down the New York Stock Exchange to demand the US stop arming Israel and profiting from genocide.

Grenfell burned because of inadequate regulation.

The Chipko Movement,1970s-Indian, mainly women activists who protected local forests from deforestation, a model for ecofeminist activism and environmental movements globally. Relates to the term 'tree huggers' #WomensArt

Wtf am I hearing on the wireless now, weight loss injections to be given to people to get them back into work. Work that doesn't pay, work that makes people sick, work that can't cover obscene energy bills, work that can't cover rent. This govt is disgusting.

I wasn’t selected to speak in the Urgent Question on Gaza today. What I was going to ask is: when will the government end its complicity in Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people? When will it implement sanctions, withdraw diplomatic support and suspend ALL arms sales?

This is awful. I can’t believe the public is in favour of core NHS services being privately delivered for shareholder profit

Dismantling of the publicly owned NHS. Private equity firm HCRG Care Group takes over NHS services worth £1.3bn. Already owns NHS GP surgeries, hospitals. Aim is profit. Care will cost more. NHS to be a shell doling out contacts to private firms. hsj.co.uk/bath-and-north…
