🚩Anti-Boycott Laws don't just target BDS - they set a precedent that political activism can redefined as a crime. Most of all, the Anti-Boycott Laws are to endorse fear and make you feel weak going against the state policies. This time the act was not accepted, but the politicians will take this again to the court. Like the year before. If boycotting Israel could land you 20 years in prison, why shouldn't protest police brutality be next? The LA Protest and their military suppression are a real- world example for how far the government can go against resistance. Anything against their agenda, and you will be the enemy of the state. We will resist further. They are the criminals. They are funding genocide and bombing innocent in Gaza. Stay true and keep boycotting with NoThanks.❤️

A task of herculean proportions at times yet punctuated by informative and insightful stories into a fundamental facet of life, that of the valuable and meaningful production of textiles. #UCC #textilearchaeology

The turnout reflected the admiration felt for Elizabeth/Libby WH. The book was introduced by Rachael Phelan A-ICRI (Art Historian and Textile Conservator), followed by the editor, Mary Ann Williams, who recounted her role in bringing this major work to print.

A long-awaited academic publication was launched in Dublin last night, 20th February. This work is a collection of reports, articles, chapters and books representing the lifetime work of the textile archaeologist Elizabeth Wincott Heckett (University College Cork).....

@2ndtimeMama The best of us. Inspiring x

Today is #WorldCancerDay and this is Liz, in a video recorded just days after she had been told she had Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour. She knew her cancer had a five year survival rate of just 15% but as she made this video for her peers to support her application for head student she reassured them she would be fine. Liz died less than 10 months after this video was made, exactly 10 months after she was diagnosed. Aged 17. Liz was passionate about changing the world for others, in her life as you will hear in this video and in her death by donating her body to Glasgow University for research. Liz was amazing. She battled so hard but without a treatment that is effective against DSRCT she was fighting a battle she couldn’t win. Please help us change things for others. Share Liz’s story, donate if you can, help us to fundraise in whatever way you can. More research is so desperately needed: justgiving.com/crowdfunding/v…
