'A precious state in which human lives can best flourish, protected by democracy, freedom of expression, the rule of law. Also a fragile state, open to abuse; wherever it exists it needs to be both cherished and safeguarded' @majian53 on #civilised society bit.ly/3R19Ilp
'It is time to rethink civilised society; not for the 1%, but for the 99% whose lives are increasingly pushed over the edge'. @JoanneRCoates hasn't given up hope that 'it can be so much more than it is'. bit.ly/40TBftB
What are the threats facing #CivilSociety in the EU? The #EURightsAgency’s latest #CivicSpace update highlights challenges and gives examples of: - Restrictive laws - Threats & attacks - Lack of funding & meaningful participation See for yourself: europa.eu/!tnYQWm
Happy to announce that Fall of Civilizations will soon have an official book, coming April 2024 from @Duckbooks. Expanded, updated, with maps & images - I've really poured my heart into this, and I can't wait to share it with everyone. Pre-order links: linktr.ee/fallofciviliza…
'If we want a happy, civilised society, we need to quantify what we as a species really need... to remind ourselves how community, family, nature, physicality and simplicity can salve a surprising amount of modern malaise' @SteveBackshall bit.ly/3rJmX1i
The latest @betterwaynetwrk podcast episode is out! This time Roger and I meet David Robinson, Better Way founding member and community work legend. Check out David’s words wisdom and all other episodes here 👇 podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bette…
'A fair wage for a fair day's work, with work of all kinds valued at a fair rate, and decent opportunities open to all'. Basic requirements for a #civilised society. Are they being met today? No, says @IanBeesleyphoto bit.ly/45bhPSh
'The key to uphold civilised societies is to maintain dialogue even when the urge to silence becomes stronger as perceptions of crisis intensify'. Timely words from @hoyer_kat: a civilised society must be confident enough to tolerate plurality of thought bit.ly/3YE3F9I
"If we lose the ability to tolerate diversity of thought, we lose the ability to live side by side with one another." I contributed a few thoughts to Professor Tim Stanton's @CivilRethinking project on Civil Society @UniOfYork 👇 rethinkingcivilsociety.org/quotes/katja-h…
'A civilised society requires collective commitment to empathy, tolerance & inclusivity. By acknowledging the historical implications of race, class & housing policies & working towards equitable solutions, we can pave the way for justice' @officialJ4G bit.ly/3OrA7Hx
What values must be in place for a society to be #civilised? Caring, conscientiousness, adaptability and expressiveness, says Caroline O'Connor, CEO of @migranthelp. 'The lack of these behaviours imperils our society'. bit.ly/3rz8HIe
Congratulations to @RybakJa for winning the BIAJS annual book prize! #BIAJS2023

📜 Magna Carta was signed #OnThisDay in 1215. 👑 King John approved the Magna Carta during a political crisis. The document prevented him from exploiting his power, establishing that everybody – even the monarch – was subject to equality under the law ow.ly/LCaS50OIbMf
'Difference affects our experiences, but it doesn't dictate our humanity and shouldn't dictate the level of respect we give to others'. @MarvinJRees, Mayor of #Bristol, with a timely reminder that 'we are all responsible for creating civilised politics'. bit.ly/43VvviY
The pursuit of happiness Finland has ranked #1 in the World's Happiest Country listing for the sixth year in a row. ON: The San Francisco Experience with Jim Herlihy Danny Dorling breaks down the statistics, and the reasons may surprise you.... thesanfranciscoexperiencepodcast.com/finntopia-what…
'A society is civilized not so much by what it has, but by what it doesn't have... Discrimination, bigotry, abuse and violence'. Novelist Richard Tong on the one thing that can make a society #civilized - respect bit.ly/45RzEGu
This month I get to fulfil a long-held ambition - to curate an exhibition. ‘Experiencing Political Texts’ opens at Newcastle University's Robinson Library on 12 June. June’s blogpost offers a taster. rachelhammersley.com/new-blog/2023/… @katherineaeast @libraryncl @historyNCL
We could simply talk about poverty; conversely, we could cover the millions of social housing tenants doing OK and getting on with life. But somehow for the media it's always about 'notorious estates'. We need to do better than the negative stereotypes. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…
Fabulous to see my map of Civil Society at large at the University of York. #maps #art #politics
