Today, I was invited to present my research with my Global Threads colleagues at the Science Museum Group conference! I shared my case study research on Elk Mill, Oldham, & its global significance. So grateful for this opportunity ☺️❤ #TextilesConf22 @AzizFndn @Diversehistory2

Idk who needs to hear this but nourish your mind. Read books, write poetry, dive into art. Happiness will never reach any of us if we’re all caught up trying to satisfy what the world wants from us. Our spirit is craving knowledge, creativity, and inspiration. Our souls need art.

please read ... books, poetry ... please think & reflect ... know your history ... it matters much more than this screen-addled, instant gratification, sound-bite, consumer based irreality tries to tell you

Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️@SketchesbyBoze·29 Eki

A huge factor in the collapse of our collective mental health is the decline in reading for pleasure. Reading lessens loneliness, builds community, sharpens the intellect. It brings joy. You will be shocked at how much better you feel if you begin to read regularly.

Massimo@Rainmaker1973

Only those who read books regularly will understand this feeling.

It's really worth being very very clear that a genocide started and people obviously started protesting that and the British government responded by creating a new category of terrorist to enable the genocide to continue. This should be a radicalising event for everyone

Metropolitan Police@metpoliceuk

Palestine Action has now been proscribed by the UK Government and expressing support for them is a criminal offence. This includes chanting, wearing clothing or displaying articles such as flags, signs or logos. news.met.police.uk/news/update-on…

Palestinians aren’t stateless because they failed to negotiate. They’re stateless because colonialism doesn’t negotiate with the people it plans to erase.
