Young women of the 70s.
Who remembers the impact this book had?
Whispers spoken.
Suddenly not alone.

In his new book, 'Policing the Beats', musician and academic Lambros Fatsis examines how Black music cultures are being criminalised.
In this extract for @CrackMagazine, he outlines the themes covered in the book and why the law needs changing: crackmagazine.net/article/lo…
Honestly if you want to witness the blind arrogance of the patriarchy just watch #NakedAndAfraid
Such exciting news!!!
I have spent the week working on a new, updated version of 'Taboo'. It has been so exciting and emotional.
Much more to reveal soon but you will be the first to know! #Taboo #TheBoyBehindTheMakeUp

A Level standard! 😂 Take it from someone who did it, jobs where you actually need to be able to analyse the subtext of Tess of the fucking D’Urbevilles are pretty thin on the ground
Migrants must learn English to A-level standard to work in Britain, Home Secretary announces

Really looking forward to this
'Policing the beats' is a bold new book that exposes the racist policing of Black music.
The first in-depth account, Fatsis highlights the relationship between politics, culture & criminal (in)justice, inviting music lovers & activists to tune in.

There's been lots of talk recently about getting disabled/long-term sick people back into the workforce, but very little about the 60,000 disabled people waiting for support to do just that
Here's what's going on with the Access to Work scheme 🧵👇

My book has a cover! Strange to have more than a decade of thinking and many years of research distilled into a single image, but thanks to the designers @UChicagoPress – at Chicago, IL
Nicola was brilliant in every way. She was intellectually bold, unfailingly kind, and so, so funny. Spending time with her was always a joy and we loved her unconditionally.
2/Nicola was also a remarkable historian whose work on the British countryside was both groundbreaking and humane. Her work on country women, in particular, has transformed the field.
3/4 We offer our deepest condolences to her family; to her students, colleagues, and friends at Sheffield Hallam; to everyone within the rural and agricultural history world; and to all those who knew and loved her.

It’s DWP £10 Christmas bonus day! Remember to spend it in a way that would drive the Daily Mail absolutely batshit. A bottle of Prosecco or 5% of a widescreen TV? Go wild!!!!
