My brother Dan and I had input into the design of this special quarter honoring our great-grandmother #IdaBWells. She's only one of 20 women from the entire history of the country to be featured on this specific currency. @RebelliousMag

Israeli forces allowed aid into northern Gaza for the first time in over a month – and then set fire to the shelters where the aid was delivered.

Just now -- acclaimed British surgeon testifies to #UK Parliament, detailing how #IDF "quadcopters" would arrive at the scene of airstrikes in #Gaza & "pick-off" / "shoot" the injured, including children.

“The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds.”

@Arunskisood @KavyaPrize @UofGlasgow @timtimtmi @passingplace @AndresNOrdorica @raine_clouds Amazing!! Well done!

Very honoured by this award (and initially greatly surprised!). Thanks to all involved in the @KavyaPrize @UofGlasgow, in particular judges, organisers, and fellow authors @timtimtmi @passingplace @AndresNOrdorica @raine_clouds. Scotland's plurality of voices thrive.

The term 'war crimes' has become meaningless. There is absolutely no end to this ghastly impunity FULLY FUNDED BY OUR TAXES

The BBC has spent a whole year whitewashing genocide and it's now describing the most extreme acts of ethnic cleansing and extermination as "controversial". The BBC is complicit.

So excited for this!!

@NubianJak So cool! Congrats!!

It's considered a great honour for a property to have a blue heritage plaque. There are less than 2500 properties in London with blue plaques on them. So to have an address associated with 4 global figures is historic. But 5 is just bonkers. For more info info@nubianjak.org

@ashtonsusanna Congrats Susanna!! Can’t wait to read this 😍😍

@hl_murray I’m so sorry Hannah. I completely empathise. Really hope something comes up. I do get it tho, that’s been me the whole of this academic year 🫠 sending solidarity

@SteveMurray_DC @rocknrollofall The highwomen version is better 😜

@rocknrollofall Fantastic

"Highwayman" is a song that tells the stories of four different lives, each one marked by adventure, danger, and resilience. Written by Jimmy Webb, it became famous when The Highwaymen—Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson—recorded it together. This performance from American Outlaws: Live at Nassau Coliseum, 1990 shows the unique style each singer brings to the song. Johnny Cash's deep voice, Willie Nelson's smooth delivery, Waylon Jennings' rugged tone, and Kris Kristofferson's soulful touch all come together to create something powerful. The lyrics talk about a highwayman, a sailor, a dam builder, and a starship pilot. Each verse paints a picture of a life lived on the edge, full of risk and determination. The music is haunting and steady, adding to the feeling of timelessness and fate. This live performance is more than just a song; it’s a blend of country music legends sharing a story about survival and destiny. It’s a moment that captures the spirit of The Highwaymen and the deep connection they had with their audience. #TheHighwayMen

@CalScherm Can’t wait to read it!

@ShabanaMarshall Thank you for posting, I hadn’t realised Sean had passed. He was so helpful and generous with his research and time! I’m sure so many people will feel the same. A kind soul. ❤️

Remembering Sean Creighton, whose funeral is today. He was a fantastic and committed historian of Black history, and so kind and generous in sharing his knowledge. He often sent me books and pamphlets in the post to help me with my own research. Rest in power dear friend✊
