A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year… And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0 And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

Morning friends, it’s been awhile! On this day off work for reasons we shall not mention, may we share this fun, free, supportive initiative for BAME postgrads and doctoral researchers? “Freedom School Online: Build Your Reputation and Your Community”

I often struggle with the final stages of a creative project - getting the work out into the world. In honour of where I have succeeded before, I am lifting this up, today https://t.co/WWpHP2juai @CollectiveBarc #BARCWorkshopGuide

🧵 Today we publish a report showing that the majority of those men, women and children who cross the Channel on small boats would be granted asylum in the UK because they are fleeing war and persecution. Here’s how the Home Office tried to rubbish our report last night….

This is such an important study. The authors conducted a video experiment of 1,339 teachers in 295 US schools. They found that Black and Latino boys are perceived as more “blameworthy” for identical misbehavior. But that’s not all... 1/2

“Elon Musk has now purged roughly half of Twitter’s 7,500 employee base, leaving whole teams totally or near completely gutted, including those tasked with defending against election misinformation ahead of the US midterms next week”

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company. I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia,

Another fund to help black students at Oxbridge only? Those unis have a combined endowment of £13bn, the black students enrolled already had the capital (social or economic) to get in and their graduate prospects are second to none. Elitism in the name of equality again.

Can I just ask… what happens to, for example, some disabled people who actually need 24/7 power in their homes for various machines/equipment?

the try guys describing their coworker cheating on his wife as their "trauma" is a great example of how the internet has taken important therapy language and bastardized it into silly little nothings
