Rich Titanic tourists sink in submarine: Whole world watches as navies spare no expense to find them. Hundreds of migrants sink in overcrowded boat: Hope you can swim, losers.

It's time for my spicy take that no-one asked for 👀🌶 Academia is mostly made up of people who spent their whole childhood competing, & usually being top of the class. They are conditioned to that validation & most structures are set up to replicate it (e.g. REF, promotion)

This is not what Britain is - and not what British police are. This is our police being used as government enforcers for a government over-obsessed with controlling culture whilst preaching an alarm around the protection of free speech.

Inspired by @celestelabedz's seismo-#MetGala, I present Karl Lagerfeld's line of cryosphere: Janelle Monáe as the breaking of Larsen-C ice shelf.

Horrible to see the wonderful wildflowers of Ormeau Park mown away today for the sake of tidy lawns... We have already lost 97% of our meadowlands. The destruction of an essential haven for pollinators during a biodiversity crisis is not a good look @belfastcc – at Belfast, Northern Ireland

So I've seen a few defenses of tenure recently and as a non-tenure track academic they often seemed to me not as convincing and so I fear they won't convince the public. So let me try my hand: tenure is necessary for the function of the university. 1/

This is truly, simply what the WGA strike is about: do you detect a difference b/t the shows you stream (through Roku, your laptop, etc) and the ones you watch through a cable box? Bc we do the same work for both, but we take a HUGE paycut for streaming shows. 1/3

Mosses potentially support around 6.43 gigatonnes more carbon sequestration in the soil layer than bare soil, according to a paper in @NatureGeosci. The findings highlight the need to protect these tiny plants. go.nature.com/3NtCcE7

For most of us from Africa, visas are a bureaucratic nightmare but what if it becomes life threatening? The passport privilege and freedom of movement of the Global North is an under-discussed tool of the suppression and isolation of the Global South. #Sudan

Western diplomats (and their governments) left hundreds -- maybe 1000s -- of Sudanese visa applicants stranded in a warzone without a passport. Human rights lawyers say that these countries may be liable. My latest for @AJEnglish with @arwaib #Sudan aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/29…

Sudanese stuck as passports locked in abandoned Western embassies

Sudanese visa applicants trapped in a war zone after Western diplomats evacuated Khartoum without returning passports.

#Landsat 9 captured a more detailed view on the same day, April 20, 2023. 🤩
A more detailed view of the bright swirls in the first image. A bright blue swirl on the right of the image almost shimmers against the dark blue Atlantic Ocean. Wisps of dark green and blue fill the left side.
