"another word for austerity is living within our means"

So how come in the "5th richest country in the world" (as we're often told), it's the poorest whose kids are dying from mould & the disabled clobbered to death by the govt? How come the most precarious die and the richest are just fine? #bbcqt

If you ever have to get top up insurance for a young driver, don't bother with Veygo

Tay crashed my car 3 weeks ago. These jokers havent even got it out of storage yet.

£750 excess, no customer service, no sense of urgency.

It is so bad it borders on a scam.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Quite bizarre. Why turn away from the very thing that has made teen vogue relevant.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties.

Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan.

Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.

I climbed a mountain in the andes today.

It was a small one (1638m). But still. It was in the andes and i climbed it! :)

It is an odd response to someone's statement of spirituality. I am an atheist but don't feel the need to try to convert anyone to my world view. Missionary zeal is always irritating and alienating. Respect and listening to what is meaningful to others is far more human.

Demographers & sociologists assemble!

I'm looking for papers that use both Generation & Gender Survey and SHARE in the same paper. Don't care about topic, sub-sample, or design - just that it's empirical. Self-promotion is encouraged.

Today is a good day to remind everyone that the US narrative claiming the President of Venezuela is a drug trafficker is 100% lies. The Trump administration knows this, the Nobel committee knows this... it is a campaign to manufacture consent for invasion. Don't fall for it.

“I’ve spent six months talking to trans people who are afraid to go out because of the climate of fear the EHRC’s interim guidance created,” Maugham said. “Some are suicidal – and I am aware of people who have sought to take their own lives." goodlaw.social/9j3v
EHRC withdraws interim guidance encouraging trans exclusion
After six months of confusion and delay, the EHRC has taken down interim guidance rushed out in April. But the damage has already been done.

Universities have been saying that the cross subsidy model doesn't work. We have been saying it for some time.

So... um... why are politicians and policy makers surprised that the sector is in free fall?

Universities did *not* make this mess. But my god we are bearing the brunt.

Every day there seems to be a new blow to the things we value most about academic life.

It is hard not to feel overwhelmed.
