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

Political stickers in the news! Where a sticker is placed can have a huge impact on how it is interpreted: Condemnation as pro-Palestinian sticker placed over star of David on Amy Winehouse statue

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.

I have been in this job since July and it is great! The team is wonderful, and I have a decent work-life balance and job security, which is a lot more than I can say for any of the academic jobs I have over the years! Happy to chat to anyone who's interested in the role.

As someone who spent the last 5 years in fixed-term contracts, and had to leave academic Geography in order to get a permanent job, this feels like a very necessary and timely project!

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

I wrote a chapter about Brexit stickers for this book. I'm still irrationally proud of myself for getting the word 'Bollocks' into the title of a piece of academic writing! I'm proud to be in such excellent company too, but it's mainly the sweary thing 😁 #lifegoals
