I so should have pinned this but it got lost in Lockdown.
📚Happy #worldbookday2020!
Travel back to the 1890s and read about the concept of ‘literary prosthetics’ in the transatlantic production of Robert Louis Stevenson’s writing. Check out @peedieg's title here! bit.ly/2yIZqSh

I’m sad that Janey Godley died but happy this photo will be absolutely everywhere the week of the election.
ALT Photo from 2016 in Scotland of comedian Janey Godley standing with a sign that says Trump is a cunt while a police officer looks on.

This woman is a complete hero, as courageous as she is persistent and persuasive. In years to come, when a free Palestinian state sits alongside Israel and Netanyahu sits in a cell in the Hague, she will no doubt be awarded the Nobel Prize she so deserves.
If you hear any words today. Let them
Be this. @FranceskAlbs speaking truth to power. As the United Nations Special Rapporteur, here she is passionately condemning the global community's silence and lack of empathy for the Palestinian people. United we stand 🕊️

Very happy to have a new article in the 40th anniversary issue of @WasafiriMag on #futurisms.
Looking at the #paratextual infrastructures of the @commapress +100 series, I explore how these speculative anthologies work as formal experiments in futurity.

Not again! I have NOT given my permission to be used in political adverts. This is NOT an endorsement by me in any way. I maintain strict party neutrality and am unhappy at the weaponizing of my reputation in this way.
While this isn't as bad as the first terrible representation – which said it this about tax - there's still a misdirection. As I’ve already stated, in that private conversation I was referring to Labour hoping to make a positive change I’ve been campaigning for, but it didn’t want to lock it in the manifesto as it can’t promise to deliver.
NO party’s manifesto tells the full story. ALL parties have things they hope to do but that aren’t in manifestos – as they can’t guarantee to deliver. The idea that Labour is an outlier for that is preposterous.

Everyone knows Labour are going to win the election, but if you’re feeling like there’s no point in voting as the outcome is a foregone conclusion, I’d like to draw your attention to something really radical that is on offer tomorrow: 1/8

Since 2010, Liverpool has been battered by an austerity agenda that has had a shocking impact
For months we’ve been working on a special visual investigation to show what this has meant for the city and its people
This is Liverpool: Austerity City
