Update re: planned counter-demonstration in Lincoln. Lincolnshire Police have now issued a dispersal order for the Carlton Centre area: lincs.police.uk/news/lincoln…
This means that the planned counter-demonstration is no longer happening (hence I deleted my earlier post). 1/2

The MA Black British Literature at Goldsmiths is still under threat of closure, and one of its core co-founders Prof Deirdre Osborne is under threat of redundancy. Working with her as a co-editor and -organiser for #TakingtheMic has been vital too. Please sign this letter & RT

1. There is a petition to sign (see tweet 2) about @GoldsmithsUoL wanting to close the Black British Literature course. Prof Deirdre Osbourne has been pioneering in this field and through this course.

I'm sharing this because, even though it's reduced me to tears, it's good to see Carriacou people and not just images of destroyed buildings.
My heart is completely broken for Carriacou. I can't stop crying.
If you can help, please help! My people need it

Our thoughts are with everyone in the Caribbean affected by hurricane Beryl. Please share the initiatives launched to assist.
Guyana’s 🇬🇾 President Irfan Ali, who is also the Chairman of CARICOM, has issued a statement on behalf of the regional organization in providing support and relief to those affected by #HurricaneBeryl. It it’s important to note that CARICOM’s head office is based in Guyana.
