Hello. 👋

I’m developing a personal site to house and share some of my work, including both the academic stuff and the more public-facing writing I’ve been doing in recent years.

If any of the below are your bag, perhaps you’ll take a look or subscribe to the blog?

Whilst many here in England fly their flags, proud to be British, I couldn't be any more ashamed. Whilst "White British" for me has only ever been a checkbox on a form, for others it is their entire identity.
How boring, plain and empty does someone have to be for that to be the extent of who they are? To be so fearful of anyone even slightly beyond the basic, that it makes them hate with such passion? Creates such a desperate need within themselves to protect that, by pulling those people below themselves and trampling all over them.
I know these people well. They've bullied me at school. Bullied me in the workplace, and bullied me in the streets.
Yet for me, compared to others, I might first appear to be a "White British", just like them, but with a weirdness that doesn't pigeonhole easily, which always put me on the brunt.
I stand by trans. I stand by immigrants. I stand by homosexuals. I stand by neurodivergents. I stand by the creatives, and everyone who's existence offends them.
There are more of us together than there are of them. The fight has only just begun.

The problem with the idea that criminals should have no rights is that it quickly becomes people accused of becoming criminals should have no rights which become accusing people you do not want to have rights of being criminals.

Of course there are a lot of other problems with the idea #criminals should have no #rights.

Human rights are for everyone.

No, dignity is not conditional.

No, your worth is not decided by your gender, race, income, ability, identity, age, or beliefs.

No, justice should not be reserved for the privileged few.

No one is “less than.”

You are human. That alone is enough to deserve safety, respect, equality, and freedom.

Every person. Every place. Every time.

Hey everyone,

In regards to ICE agents masking:

The upper partials of someone’s speaking voice are like a fingerprint. If you want to save evidence for future prosecution, record their voices.
