This lemur seems to have figured out a way to express its desire to be touched.

Spent the day on Substack still getting pushed stories of Jason. Left Twitter after foolishly visiting it in passing. My studied conclusion: THESE GHOULS ARE FUCKING BAT SHIT CRAZY PROPONENTS OF PHRENOLOGY. I NEED A DARK ROOM AND SILENCE. Mighr just read Okello instead.
Lillyson Harrilly What ... you've not even submitted papers for divorce yet. Bit soon. Bit tasteless. #TheArchers I do not approve.

When I see commentators using terms like “DEI” I immediately suspect that they’re trying to ignite a US inspired (and maybe funded?) culture war here. Because the acronym used in the UK is EDI - equality, diversity, inclusion - linked to the equality act 2010. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/1...

I'd say "Something for nothing" culture is getting paid £100,000 a year of public money, plus expenses, for a job that you then fail to turn up to for months on end
On BBC Radio 4's Moral Maze tonight: “Slavery - Right or Wrong?” Some people say it’s morally wrong. On the other hand, it makes a tonne of money. On the panel: Edward Colston, King Leopold II, Tommy Robinson and Matt Goodwin. Join us as we discuss one of the great moral dilemmas of the day.
It's a pity Jason Arday wasn't a rightwing journalist arrested for beating his pregnant girlfriend. The obituaries would have been somewhat more sympathetic then.
The British media hounded a man to his death claiming it was in the public interest. Is investigating that story in the public interest?
The problem tends to be not that institutional equality work has become too radical, but that organisations have become extremely adept at domesticating its radical implications. Lee Jasper. leejaspersnr.substack.com/p/white-fail...
White Failure Is Personal. Black Failure Becomes Political.
Proffesor Jason Arday has questions to answer, but his mistakes must not become an indictment of Black academics, EDI or the legitimacy of Black advancement.

The very media who have hounded Jason Arday to death have spent decades legitimising Andrew Wakefield’s lies and David Starkey’s racism.
Desperately sad news about Jason Arday, hounded to his death by a media witch hunt initiated by an actual Nazi.
Jason Arday has been found dead after being subjected to an endless media campaign fueled by racism and far right bigotry that drove him from his job. Might as well state what happened out loud.
The press were acting with such glee in their onslaught against Jason Arday, while they give a pass to much worse behaviour, for reasons that ultimately boil down to racism.
The same UK media that hounded Jason Arday to his death were last week sharing amusing anecdotes about how Rod Liddle's copy was full of lies.
"Shabana Mahmood staying as Home Secretary to presumably continue her appalling record of performative cruelty towards migrants and refugees is a warning sign that Burnham has not learnt the lessons from Starmer's failure," says Zack Polanski
Ok. So .. I've never seen Monty and didn't realise he was a doberman. We all know however sweet, those dogs are, they are dogs. He's guilty unless he has an alibi. #TheArchers

Well, that was unexpectedly dull. Huge build up to less than nothing. Yaaaaawn 🥱 #TheArchers
This is so strange. I can't help treating non-human thing as if it's human. Laughs nervously.
Not every day you wake up to good news. Even Luna is pleased. Or at least she will be when she wakes up.
Morning. Purr Purr. What's for breakfast? Where is it? I'm hungry. Purr Purr.
Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit
If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?
New Editorial Alert from one of our Editors @azumahcarol.bsky.social is now available to read. 'The in/visible curriculum: Noticed, named, enacted' introduces the latest issue of the Curriculum Journal which pirouettes around a generative tension of in/visibility. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/curj...
Every crime in which an ethnic or cultural minority is the perpetrator used to justify repression or worse of minorities. Every crime in which a minority is the victim used to argue for the idea that ethnic diversity is inherently unstable and should be reduced or eradicated.

That was such a vibe. Thank you, London. Together - we're making hope normal again. 💚
Adam is going to murder Brian. The plot thickens. The next 30 days are going to be explosive. #TheArchers meets Midsomer Murders. Harison plays Jack Sweeny. Ok. My genres are confused. #TheArchers meets Agatha Christie with Harrison playing inspector Clousoe.
