The aid cuts 3 years ago were catastrophic for those in dire need of development assistance AND to Britain’s reputation Labour, with these cuts, prove themselves hypocritical, cruel, and puppets of the far-right To make a transfer from the world’s poorest to arms dealers is really depraved.

I throw the map in fury lest I get swallowed by its moving lines- too. #KeepTellingofPalestine

Cutting across the uncrossable #KeepTellingofGaza

To everyone warning against complacency here on rise globally of far right and racism - you are at least two decades late. But good news is that lots of us have been slogging it out holding back the ill winds & it’s fabulous to have extra support, insight and help. Now for collective courage

So one day… one day this moment cracks #KeepTellingofGaza

“As applied #linguists and #intercultural #education scholars, we have been troubled and fascinated by the work of #language, the violence this work constitutes, the mercy it offers, the gift it recreates, and the limits it operates within” www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Keep telling little one. They think they’ve won. #KeepTellingofGaza

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

There are no civilians in a lawless world. #KeepTellingofGaza

I threw the map in fury lest I get swallowed by its moving lines- too. #KeepTellingofGaza

witness it 🕯️

Watch, listen and be surprised This world is being revised… #KeepTellingofGaza

And my life becomes ‘breaking news’, news that truly knows how to break. #KeepTellingofGaza

Tonight #KeepTellingOfGaza I'll be talking about the work I've been doing in Gaza over 16 years, the work with @khawlabadwan.bsky.social through the genocidal conflict and forced displacement, and what is now happening & important during the ceasefire. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/keep-telli...

A new article on #diversity in #environmental #education: “Working with multilingual communities, we were interested in stories from the #children. We honoured what they knew and attuned to their multilingual and multimodal ways”

Look! I have rescued these books. #KeepTellingofGaza

It’s awful enough that the fascists are in power but it’s also very bad for our eyes that they are all so unphotogenic and joyless and their faces are everywhere.

“The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. 1/

We are opening submissions on the theme of GRIEF tomorrow! We are looking for poems and short CNF about grief. By this we mean not only the grief for a person/ for people, but also grief for animals, grief for a place, a home, a time, an idea, our health, the world, 🧵

In silence we stayed, united in grief, and rooted in our land. #KeepTellingofGaza

‘#Gaza is the epicentre of occupation, colonialism, capitalism, White supremacy and necropolitics. Through this lens, we observe, not just the erasure and decline of Gaza, but also the decline of the international order with its humanitarian laws, systems’ www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We stay strong and steady, committed to a merciful world.. #KeepTellingofGaza

It is always special to be invited to speak in schools to talk about working our words harder to see anew. What is more special is centering the wor(l)ds and drawings of children so our theories of liberation are rooted in children’s aspirations. INSET days can be special! #beyond #oracy

When words give life so new words can shine, and a new language comes along to define. Happy are those who educate for justice 🙏🏼 #KeepTellingofGaza

Alive

And in agony we should stay as racism becomes the norm. #KeepTellingofGaza

The Palestinians are not for sale, and that's what bothers many people who are used to selling their souls for anything

At last! I sigh! At last! And I sit with relief wondering which will go of all these holes. #KeepTellingofGaza

This made me cry.

Excuse me, world? Have you seen my land? #KeepTellingofGaza

Honouring #Gaza in words of beauty, of culture, of love, of history and in illustrations of colourful lines against the gray rubble of what remains. Ashraf’s book is a journey to the Gaza that once stood and will forever stay in our hearts. Copies: ko-fi.com/revisitgaza/sh…

Really feeling for everyone on here whose world has just been set on fire. For so many of us it has been an all consuming inferno for decades but the good news is that there are deep wells from which to learn and begin to practice mutual solidarity. But it’s going to need a good deal of humility.

‘what becomes of the crying language in contexts of state propaganda..? What is the role of grief in intercultural education scholarship in times of genocide streamed on our screens from a place of immobility to a world of different mobilities?’ #Gaza www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Please read, don't look away. The article is huge in so many ways.
