Everyone, at some point, will either need, receive, or provide care. Whether childcare, aging care, or disability care, CARE affects everyone — & the fact that care is seen as an individual issue & not an economic necessity is wild. (+ care workers are underpaid and overworked.)

So was I, it was the first thing I noticed.
Shameful.
'There were lots of empty seats....I was really quite shocked'

BREAKING: "The simple truth is the deaths that occurred were all avoidable"

We started work on this paper during lockdown. It's an analysis of how experts imagined the public in their advice on covid. The paper was led by the excellent @SolangeRokia, with @WarrenPearce and @jameswilsdon @stsucl nature.com/articles/s41599-0…

Woke up to images of the fire in Dagenham all over X. Glad to hear it was brought under control by the emergency services and people evacuated.
7 years on from Grenfell yet residential buildings still remain unsafe and wrapped in ‘non compliant’ cladding … really is shameful and negligent.

I'd recommend everyone to watch Defiance right now. It's a Channel 4 documentary detailing the racism British Asian communities faced in the 70's/80s. The first episode looks at the rise of the far right and the death of an Asian boy in Southall youtube.com/watch?v=4JCO_Vz5…

Just wanted to share quickly how lovely yesterday felt in Southport; a total contrast to the night before. 🧵

the end of this clip should be a huge story. apsana begum says that the whipping operation yesterday used her history as a survivor of domestic abuse and coercive control to attempt to incentivise her to not rebel through the offer of supporting bills related to domestic abuse

For the past 4 years I’ve been working on a project to tell the story of how AI is impacting global inequality.
