When we heard the news, I wondered are @rebkwok.bsky.social and I the first pair of married PSF Fellows?
Becky reminded me of @audrey.feldroy.com & @daniel.feldroy.com. Foiled!
Still, great company to be in 🙂

The PSF have turned down a large grant because it came with the criteria that they could not do DEI work. Bravo!
It's the right decision, but it leaves the PSF financially weakened. If you or your organisation can step up, now is the time to do so!

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.
Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.
