I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

I'm working on embroidering a quilt square and I realize part of the reason people are pushing AI so hard isn't that they want more books or more art, what they're trying to get is time. Every form of art takes time. It takes time to draw. To paint. To write. To play music. They want that time.

Luke Jerram gave his time and creative flair very generously to a previous project of ours on health in urban informal settlements. His new project looks incredible www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Really happy to be a co-author on this post about creative methods of research communication and how we are operationalising them in ReBUILD in our work on health systems.
Creative methods of communication can allow academics to connect with the evidence and their experiences working on global health in new and unexpected ways.

Trump plans to block funding to groups that promote diversity policies abroad. It’s a major expansion of the Mexico City Policy, which prevents foreign groups receiving U.S. global health funding from providing or promoting abortion www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

#r4today Justin loves to talk about “identity issues” linked to the Democratic Party — but never those in the GOP.

White supremacy is also an identity politic.

Structures of dominance are also identity politics. Identity politics are only criticised when minorities complain about discrimination.

Can global health be decolonised without addressing power imbalances? This paper argues it can't. Even the WHO's equity-focused reports perpetuate Euro-American norms. True equity requires challenging global health's assumptions. tinyurl.com/bddna933 #DecoloniseHealth #scicomms
