Thin Line Emotions
Unjust.
This morning reality hit hard. In sainsburys they sell a disgusting FHM magazine for £6, and in mens health they have an article about men 'having' women when they want, and 'in order to make your woman want you, you need to make her jealous by flirting with other women'. Whilst outside, a man with no legs sits in a wheelchair selling coloured pens holding a sign which read 'please help me' and an 80 year old big issue seller stands selling his goods. Why does capitalism allow people to spend six quid on vile images of women wearing nothing and let old people go cold and hungry on the streets....
Its upsetting. What can we do to change things?

Judith supports student occupations
Letter of support from Judith Butler
I am sorry not to be able to come there directly to address the students and to provide my support in person. But please know that I support your efforts and hope that you have success. This is an important moment to oppose the decimation of the social welfare estate, especially its impact on educational institutions, as well as the rise of neo-liberal calculations in relation to university life. Students are threatened with becoming an acutely ‘precarious’ population, exposed to poverty, debt, and lack of educational opportunities. Please accept my strong support for your brave and just actions.
