"unforseen Grade Inflation" Is Bullshit. 39% Of State School Students Got A*s And As, Which Is Only Slightly

learning about the humanities and sciences side by side will do crazy things to your brain thats why they want you to pay all your money to get a shitty business degree . t.o limit your power. so instead it is your duty to read as many wikipedia pages as you can

some things that have happened since you stopped hearing about p/alestine after the “ceasefire” was declared

1,000+ palestinians were arrested in a mass-arrest campaign designed to, and i quote, “instill fear” - including children

al-aqsa mosque and worshippers were attacked and beaten

literal children, not even teens, children, were arrested and tried in a military court (this is not new, thousands of children have faced this terrorization over the years. Isr@el is the only country in the world that tries children in military courts. 500-700 children are prosecuted each year.)

a soldier deliberately ran over a child on a bike for having a pales/tinian flag on his bike. an adult man ran over a child with his car. on purpose. the child is 12. read that again.

sheikh jarrah was blockaded, illegally

whatsapp blocked the accounts of over 100 pal/estinian journalists

silwan, another pal/estinian neighborhood like sheikh j/arrah, is being violently ethnically cleansed to make way for more settlers

Isr@el has forced social media sites to censor the hashtags “free pal/estine” and “save sheikh ja/rrah” many posts and accounts have been deleted

25 pales/tinians have been murdered by the ID/F and settlers

in Jaffa, 300 arab families are under force expulsion orders to make way for more settlers. 300 families.

suicide rates in g/aza have risen to an all-time high due to PTSD and hopelessness

Pales/tinians in G/aza still do not have access to safe drinking water, electricity, medical care, and nutrition. families are still being displaced from their homes by settler colonialism. There is still an inability to mobilize freely, pursue a career, seek an education, or gain access to decent healthcare or mental health resources. The occupation, genocide, and ethnic cleansing continues whether you see on your feed or not.

Pride history posts on here seem almost exclusively to revolve around Stonewall which can leave the impression that America is the only place where anything important ever happened and obviously is not true so I have compiled a few links where you can learn about LGBTQ history in other countries!

I know everyone's making jokes about it but also as a british citizen it is just so Fucking weird to see how the country stops when a royal dies. this man was almost a hundred years old. the news story begins and ends at 'very elderly man dies after being ill for a long time'. and yet it's EVERYWHERE. as if it was remotely unexpected. as if it actually affects the people in this country. every kind of broadcasting stops in its tracks and talks about this and only this, on and on, tributes, memorials, the same things again and again. when all that's happened is an old man has died. and people consider it disrespectful if you're not interested in it - disrespectful, to not grieve for a complete stranger! to treat his death with the exact level of engagement you would any other person you didn't know!

it just kind of feels like a wake-up moment to how fucking backwards this country is. you realise that every single media outlet has been feeding you the idea that these people are more important and monumental than anyone else. you realise they've been pushing that on you for your whole life. in the year of 2021 we are still their subjects and we are still expected to care about the royals as though they have a single fucking thing to do with us

Help protect British transport workers during the pandemic! Please share

David O'Sullivan has been a London bus driver and tube worker for 30 years. His company has just sacked him for standing up for his colleagues' health and safety rights during the pandemic.

The fatality rate for London bus drivers is almost three times the national average and Britain has been one of the worst-affected countries during the pandemic.

In January, Dave asserted the rights of himself and his colleagues to a safe workplace. This is covered by Section 44 of the Employment Rights Act (1996). When he warned his colleagues about the spread of COVID-19 at the bus garage and informed them of their rights under the Act, he was sacked.

The union colluded with management in the sacking.

Because of serious safety breaches by management, Dave and his colleagues had already written to the company's Managing Director, the London Deputy Mayor for Transport, and Unite the Union officials. They were ignored.

Section 44 gives all employees the right to refuse to work “in circumstances of danger which the employee reasonably believes to be serious and imminent”. Employees can remove themselves until “appropriate steps” are taken “to protect themselves or other persons in danger.”

All British workers have this right.

Dave's claim against Metroline is a test case for the rights of key workers during the pandemic. Please don't let the legal system force key workers into yet more unsafe conditions!

Dave has evidence. He has secured legal advice. What he and London bus drivers need now is your support.

Extremely frustrating as Palestinians watching the world stand in solidarity with The Ukraine and suddenly knowing how to use the word occupation.

dropping this here

and this one too. they let refugees fleeing a different war freeze to death in the middle of winter while the world turned a blind eye at the frozen corpses of children who were denied asylum and died because of it. this was happening as of two months ago as well, it’s not old news

i stand with ukraine, obviously.

i also stand with those who are calling out the blatant hypocrisy in how others in the same situation were treated, as well as those who are rightfully upset in the world’s support of and reaction to of one group of people but not others who have faced the same and much worse.

and before anyone jumps on this with ‘omg not appropriate right now’ or ‘stop comparing the two’, it’s entirely possible to stand with ukraine and the russians who are protesting the russian govt, while at the same time acknowledging that the world’s eurocentric response to this situation is extremely different to the response it gives other countries in places the western world declares are “backward”, and “uncivilized”
