There are no universities left in Gaza. All destroyed by Israel. If that's not a case of "freedom of expression being impossible for academics" I don't know what would be?

@EmmandJDeSouza @IrishRugby @LeoVaradkar With all due respect Emma, I think the many women/mothers staring into homelessness now as a result of his refusal to extend the eviction ban would find this photo galling. As an intersectional feminist I do.

Whatever happens here precarious workers must not bear the brunt of this. Skim from the top. Get rid of a few VP posts. Halt the vanity projects. And more state funding!

I met him once in a cafe in Nova Scotia. Unbeknownst to me, a had friend told him I was a fan. Plummer came over to my table, kissed my hand by way of introduction and asked me what my thesis was on, leading to a brief chat about gender and politics.

I've seen this doing the rounds the past few days and think it's important to point out that a number of feminists take issue with such models as we believe they reinforce a 'hierarchy of harms'. It's much better to think of sexual violence in terms of a continuum.
