Should we be calling them in? I don't know. It feels like a distraction (shout out Toni Morrison). The people who wanted to march but didn't and who might now feel emboldened...can they be called in? What is all this for if not the belief that we all deserve freedom? And can we win without them?
Edmund Coleman-Fountain, Silvia Falcetta, @patriciahamilton.bsky.social, @drfuturity.bsky.social , Rodrigo Campos, Jade Gilbourne, @rossolb.bsky.social & Phoebe Murphy have published an article reflecting on trialing problem-based learning in sociology in ‘Sociology’ ( @britsoci.bsky.social )
If I was still on Twitter (or rather, if Twitter still existed) I probably would've posted something about Saturday's march. Others have already said it but it's dangerous to dismiss the marchers (not the organisers) as stupid and jobless. I don't think it's true and it doesn't call them in

It's alarming how many people need to hear this: racism is not the natural and inevitable response to the presence of (the wrong number of) racialised Others. It is a learned response, and as such it is contestable and replaceable.
This is anti-racism 101. Entry level stuff.

Surveys are important for miscarriage research, yet questionnaire design and sample characteristics can influence reported miscarriage prevalence
We compared miscarriage reporting across British surveys with @mccompans.bsky.social & @heinivaisanen.bsky.social - take a look at our pre-print here ⬇️

That FICTIONAL text about an all-powerful corporation partnering with police to surveil us all. Good times.
I'm sure I read about this in Dave Eggers' The Every
