Last year, a letter was written regarding the previous attempt at closure. It was signed by just about everyone you could think of in continental philosophy and critical theory. CRMEP is so important because, in a world that no longer values ideas, it has refused to play along.

My department, the fantastic CRMEP at Kingston University, is due to be closed mid-way through my PhD, as part of a slew of cuts to the Humanities and Social Sciences. We will be launching a challenge to this. Last year they tried to close us, and we fought it and won - we hope we can win again.

Same dynamic as FBPE, by the way, it's why the crossover between that and TERFism is so high.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

This dialogue has the cadence of one of Charlie and Mac's business pitches from It's Always Sunny

What THE FUCK is this? Even putting the evil of it aside for one second, on what planet, in what conceivable timeline, is this cogent messaging in 2025? Labour Comms is being run by six trainee marketers called APEX or VIVACITY, about to lose a team challenge on the Apprentice 2008.

A mocked up chat shared by the Labour Party below the caption This Labour government is securing our borders. - Did you hear what Labour are doing about illegal immigration? - Hm, no?? Surely gonna be tough to clean up the mess the Tories made (quizzical emoji) - They've already done a lot! They've removed more people with no right to be here than in any year since 2018 (tick emoji) - That's actually really interesting. - They've also set up a Border Security Command and invested heavily in tech and policing to stop the boat gangs exploiting people! - Wow, looks like they've really hit the ground running! (Running emoji)

I don't have much to say about the situation for trans people in the states, except that we need to understand this as a resounding defeat for the queer politics of the last fifty years or so. Whatever we do next, it needs to be radically different from what we have done before.

Hi you may think that this account will produce a combination of posts about critical theory and perhaps also electronic music. You would be mistaken! It is, for the next six weeks, a Wales Rugby fan account. Get ready for like, one million posts about Dan Edwards

God so the NHS had lost my referral to the GIC that got done in 2021 and I had to track it down and ended up having to be referred *again* and so it looked like I would have to go on the waiting list again. But I don't! It's all fine! I might be seen soon! I can't believe it!
