Rachel Reeves should consider welfare cuts in budget, says right-wing IFS.

They want the govt to hurt the poor, old, sick, disabled; curtail redistribution which enables millions to survive.

Silence on corporate welfare, ending profiteering, tax abuse by corporations/rich.

It is class war.

University administration:
"We need you to complete 26 hours of lab safety training 🧪 each year so that everyone is safe and responsible."

Also university administration:
Stolen from the Internet, a sign that says "If Elevator does not move do a small jump it should move after", and a dirty-white freight elevator wall and aged elevator controls with only floors 1 and 2." I have no idea where this really is, I just stole it off Wikimedia.

DisCrit examines how racism & ableism intersect to shape systems of power that marginalize disabled people of color. It challenges “normalcy” & calls for collective action toward justice. Check out the video, one-pager, & other resources at crdjustice.org. Created by summer intern Mary Yoon. [1/13]
Title text reads “What is DisCrit?” followed by smaller text: “Based on the article ‘Dis/ability critical race studies (DisCrit): theorizing at the intersections of race and disability’ by Subini A. Annamma, David Connor, & Beth Ferri. Written by Mary Yoon on behalf of the Center for Racial and Disability Justice.” The image includes an illustrated group of people. The Center for Racial & Disability Justice logo appears in the upper right corner.

New stations should be accessible for everyone, but according to the National Rail website, Blyth Bebside has no toilets, and no disabled parking spaces. It's not acceptable, and it will stop many of us from travelling.

Entirely too many of these guys around. No I'm not interested in your 'alternative point of view' that ignores people's lived experiences just to be contrarian and edgy.
