Universities often name campus spaces “commons,” which are in name only. But Columbia students have created a true commons at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment: collectivized space w food, shelter, clothing, medicine for all, many cultural, recreational, & religious activities (1/2)

Important. Bombing in a time of climate catastrophe add to the genocidal dimensions of this, & affects all of humanity.
Scientist Rebellion@ScientistRebel1

🇵🇸 We do not need the climate crisis to condemn the ongoing Palestinian genocide. We raise our voices regardless of the environmental impact of the terrifying bombing. However, this impact is far from negligible: here are some facts you might want to know. (1/3)

Now over 30 Uni's looking at closures and implementing redundancy schemes, 10 added to this list in the past 24 hours alone. ⬇️Where is @ucu's national stance? Where is @UKLabour? Why is nobody talking about the fact that UK HE is literally crumbling around us? Wake up!

These days, every time we manage a glimmer of excitement in class - delight in what language can do, what literature can change, why life might be worth living purely in itself - it strikes me how these moments are getting rarer and rarer under marketisation

It’s absolutely horrifying that a SOAS student was raided and arrested this morning for speaking up against Israeli genocide. If you can get to Hammersmith station, there will be a demo from 5pm TODAY!
How Women Work!@how_women_work

I’m sorry to announce that our event today will not be moving forward, as our chair, a SOAS student, was raided and arrested at 7 am for giving a speech at the SOAS Palestine protest. I strongly ask everyone to show solidarity & help spread the word.

I taught my first UG seminar of term on Friday and have just put my finger on why I left feeling so bad. Classes have been overcrowded since I arrived at Bristol - 20 students per class is a poor offering - but every term the room I am allocated gets smaller and smaller

Oh sweet summer times when lyrics like 'hey man you're never coming back' could evoke tortuous love relationships. Never coming back are landscapes of our childhoods, friends of our youth, dreams we had, people we loved and people we were, but also our naivety, but also our fear.

This is the devastating j'accuse of the century spoken in the voice of decolonisation. Regardless of what the judges do or bow to, history has been made.

Maksym Kryvtsov was a wonderful poet and Ukrainian defender. He was killed today defending us from erasure. We won’t fade away. We won’t fade away. We won’t fade away. And we will never forget.
