- Reposted by Catherine SloanHot Take 2: if this is Mandelson's position, there is no reason for him not to issue a statement to this effect. If he has not issued a statement to this effect, the BBC's "understanding" of his actual position may be inaccurate. Stop letting people play this game.
- Reposted by Catherine SloanA constant false theme of the far right is they are ‘protecting’ kids from minorities. Their core online shock troops are ‘incels’ - yet more than half of ‘incels’ advocate Child Sex Abuse. The Epstein files, & reports like this, show that for fascism as always, every criticism is an admission.

- Reposted by Catherine SloanTAMU ended our women and gender studies program, degrees and certificates today. Apparently they aren’t allowed under the new don’t mention gender or sexuality in the classroom rules our board passed. I am so saddened by this. I worked as a grad asst to wmst (no gender in the 90s) for a few years
- Educational disparities reimagined and reinforced: some get AI led education, others person led. Phillipson herself chose to study at Oxford in a system which offers individual face to face teaching. But a chatbot is good enough for others, I guess
- We want to make sure tutoring isn't the preserve of a lucky few, but accessible to every child who needs it. AI can help us do that. Safe, personalised, one-to-one learning support to help every child achieve and thrive. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01...

- Reposted by Catherine SloanHannah Arendt’s point in Imperialism was that there is no end to imperialism. It goes on and on. The nation-state is rooted in imperialism and imperialism is rooted in expansionism. Trump is doubling down on 19th-century nation-state politics, and doing the once quiet part aloud.
- OK after a day of cramps I’m washing my hair, having a bath with wine and watching traitors, and hopefully feeling human by tomorrow to actually enjoy work, gym, lunch with a friend! The best thing about January is all the multiple bath and shower products 🌸
