Today, I was invited to present my research with my Global Threads colleagues at the Science Museum Group conference! I shared my case study research on Elk Mill, Oldham, & its global significance. So grateful for this opportunity ☺️❤ #TextilesConf22 @AzizFndn @Diversehistory2

"Books only have two smells. The smell of a new book, which is good, and the smell of an old book, which is even better." Ray Bradbury Good night

Idk who needs to hear this but nourish your mind. Read books, write poetry, dive into art. Happiness will never reach any of us if we’re all caught up trying to satisfy what the world wants from us. Our spirit is craving knowledge, creativity, and inspiration. Our souls need art.

please read ... books, poetry ... please think & reflect ... know your history ... it matters much more than this screen-addled, instant gratification, sound-bite, consumer based irreality tries to tell you

“Her own thoughts and reflections were habitually her best companions” ~ Jane Austen

"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." —Malcolm X

Something deeply evil about a society that creates a trillionaire before it solves homelessness or hunger

babe, wake up. a new diva just dropped

Big up, the actor who unfolded a Palestinian flag on stage at the Royal Opera House.

It's really worth being very very clear that a genocide started and people obviously started protesting that and the British government responded by creating a new category of terrorist to enable the genocide to continue. This should be a radicalising event for everyone

Palestinians aren’t stateless because they failed to negotiate. They’re stateless because colonialism doesn’t negotiate with the people it plans to erase.

They once called Nelson Mandela a terrorist, and now they have a statue of him in Parliament Square, London. We are all Palestine Action

BBC in the year 2225: Inquiry finds Israel committed genocide on Indigenous Palestinians. Thank you for your incredible journalism.
