Cambridge professor of sociology Jason Arday is accused of plagiarism by another academic

the accuser is a "race realist" who believes that in a true meritocracy all university professors would be white. this is somehow not acknowledged much during the entire ordeal

this leads to several days of media coverage demanding an investigation, or that Arday is expelled from his post immediately

somehow this accusation that has no effect on the lives of 99.99% of the population becomes FRONT PAGE NEWS in all the newspapers for multiple days, above anything else happening in the UK or the world at large

following intense media scrutiny, Arday resigns his post as a Cambridge professor

today, august 14th, days after resigning, Arday is found dead at his home in Battersea

This article by professor Kehinde Andrews clarifies more about the story of racist harassment Arday has been suffering since he fucking got a teaching job at Cambridge in the first place, in 2023, as the FIRST Black professor in that fucking stupid institution, who sure is taking it's sweet time defending their worker, despite already fucking checking his work for plagiarism and saying he didn't do it:

1. He wasn’t the first Black Professor at Cambridge, but he WAS the youngest X

The Zionist gang that murdered Bernadotte, Lehi, was active from 1940 to 1948. In May 1948, most of the gang's active members were inducted into the IDF and Lehi itself was formally dissolved. Some months later, several members of the officially dissolved but still functionally intact gang decided to assassinate Bernadotte to prevent any possibility of peace between Israel and the Palestinian people.

After the assassination, the Israeli government did arrest 200 Lehi members and declare the group a terrorist organisation. However, all those arrested were pardoned, the Israeli government later invented a military honour for them called the Lehi Ribbon, and the former Lehi leader who approved the assassination, Yitzak Shamir, later became prime minister of Israel.

Additional fun fact about Lehi: in the early stages of World War II they considered Nazi Germany a lesser threat to Jews than Great Britain, and they tried at least twice to ally with the Nazis and Fascist Italy.

you look at them and you’re like “wow! what amazing photographs” but they’re oil paintings

The good news is that Ahmed and his father finally found someone to create a new campaign for them. Unfortunately, while they were without a way to fundraise, Ahmed had to take on debts to get his father the operation he needed.

Ahmed needs to pay off €270 in medical debt. Right now, this is what the funds collected will be going towards, unless another more urgent need arises.

Vetting information can be found here. Please note that the campaign linked is the old one.

Current progress: €0/270

We have only raised €10 so far. Please share and donate if you can

One year ago I done this comic tribute to my favorite comic ever.  This was sketched, fast and … full of my heart. It isn’t technically perfect, and I love it just for this. Find it on my DeviantArt. If the images are too tiny: right click > save or right click > copy and past url.  Enjoy. :)
