Shawn Bodden & @Faxsly advocate that stickers, although subtle and small, are tools of political activism that promote public interchange, sociomaterial claims-making, and recognize their role in ordinary political action. Read more in #GeoHumanities: bit.ly/3LMY3Eo

There are no words that can describe yesterday's massacre in Rafah. What more is needed to persuade these criminals in power of the depravity of their silence? What is there left to see in order to stop this genocide? We must all escalate. These names, members of the executive committee of #BalfourUniversity will be etched in history for their complicity: Peter Mathieson, Colm Harmon, Leigh Chalmers, Kim Graham, Dave Gorman, Lee Hamill, Lucy Evans, Catherine Martin.

Now a fantastic presentation from Dr Hannah Awcock @Faxsly on how political stickers impact on the urban environment and form part of the coproduction of places.

Huge thanks to the beautiful folk who donated their signs to the @MoTransology collections today at #LondonTransPride. They’re now safely back @BishopsgateInst where they will be catalogued and treasured. Thanks to the heroic team that got them here too! xxx

Less than 1% of the UK population is trans, yet their right to even exist is subject to constant debate Trans people are intimidated, attacked, and humiliated - often by people who should know better This week the EHRC has acted as an arm of government and the right. Sickening

Roll on day 2 of our 2-week strike for fair pay at #Shelter. We should not have colleagues who are being forced to use food banks. Parents who can no longer afford their children’s school uniforms. And families who are forced to choose between heating and eating this winter.

One of our members made this Chinese infographic based on a UCU design. The text on the left side reads: - Solidarity with the strike - We stand together with academic and professional staff - Talk to teachers on picket lines!

A quick thread on public order architecture at the university of warwick! Today, I found some of my undergrads queuing to get into one of our huge teaching buildings - big 380 seater lecture theatres & 80 seminar rooms. This queue was because there was only 1 small door working..
