📢📢 URGENT: Sue is a Black disabled migrant PhD student & mother in complaint against an abusive supervisor. Now Newcastle University is reporting her to the Home Office in retaliation, fully knowing she suffers from terminal, life & death Stage 5 kidney disease 🧵 #WeAreAllSue

Just sitting here thinking of all of the disabled and immunocompromised students who were told that giving them virtual attendance as an accommodation was 'impossible.'

My department (UCL UCLcs) is celebrating the win of an Athena Swan Charter Gold Award for gender equality.

I wonder if they noted in their application that mobility-disabled people are barred from accessing the department.

Gender equality for whom? Not disabled women! Not me. Livid.

Over 190 bodies discovered in mass graves at Nasser Hospital in Khanyounis southern Gaza upon the withdrawal of Israeli forces

The soldiers had executed 100s of people, dug a pit, and buried the bodies in it. Hundreds more bodies are expected to be found

In Gaza, I studied at two universities and worked at a third. Professors who taught me have been killed, colleagues have been murdered, and the campuses where I studied and worked lay mostly in ruins. The entire academic system has been obliterated by Israel's bombs. Yet, here,…

Another mass grave has been found in Khan Younis outside of Nasser Hospital. 180 bodies have been found so far, shrouded in plastic with Hebrew writing, many of their identities unknown. The IOF withdrew from Khan Younis on April 7th and many mass graves have been found since.

The Columbia student activists are NOT targeting Jewish students FFS. THEY ARE ALSO JEWISH STUDENTS. The White House lies and lies and lies, here putting non-violent students futures, health and lives at risk. The biggest megaphone in the USA just called them violent antisemites.

Favorite disabled/chronically ill poets?

They can be published anywhere. i.e. Lit mags and books are both fair game.

(I think of disability and illness pretty expansively. If you're thinking 'Does X count?' the answer is likely yes.)

Self-promo is a-okay!

Statement of the Barnard-Columbia chapters of the AAUP regarding the mass arrest of peacefully protesting students: “We have lost confidence in our president and administration, and we pledge to reclaim our university.”

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 All power to the students at The New School who have now established their own Gaza Solidarity Encampment!! Their demands include: divesting from death, protecting pro-Palestine protestors, and enacting full academic boycott of the Zionist entity—Support them now!

.Toronto Public Library has apparently removed Refaat's poem under pressure from zionists. Refaat was a poet who wrote about his own death - before the IDF murdered him. He'd want this poem to be shared to keep his hopes, and his spirit alive. Please share.
