'As criminologists increasingly advocate for an aesthetic and sensory turn in Criminology (McClanahan and South, 2020), significant progress has been made in exploring various criminological issues through these emerging theoretical and methodological lenses (see Herrity et al., 2021; Young, 2023; Holt and Lewis, 2024; etc…). The perspective I have offered on lean culture invites drug scholars to further explore the relevance of aesthetics and sensory experiences in contemporary recreational drug trends among young people worldwide. By doing so, it encourages discussions that could provide fresh insights into evolving patterns of drug consumption and contribute to a broader (sub)cultural analytical perspective that extends beyond the meanings of drugs and their motivations for use.'
VERY COOL BLOG! 🤯

A concerning report from @HMIPrisonsnews confirmed that children at Werrington prison are spending too much time in their cells and receiving less than 15 hours of education per week.

PCHRI shows how Israel imposed on Palestinians in Gaza “conditions of life calculated to bring about their destruction”. This is genocide.
28 Jul 2025
On October 13, 2023, the Israeli military ordered the evacuation of 22 hospitals in #Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip. That day marked the start of an unprecedented assault on Gaza’s health system.
-
Over the following 22 months, Israel systematically targeted Gaza’s medical infrastructure—bombing 33 of 36 hospitals and clinics, cutting off fuel and water, and killing or detaining over 1,800 medical staff.
-
Today, we are releasing a position paper that documents this assault for what it is: a deliberate, cumulative dismantling of Gaza’s health system and, with it, the population’s ability to survive. This is #genocide.
-
The position paper shows how Israel destroyed the very conditions necessary for life, through direct attacks on hospitals, obstruction of medical aid and evacuations, and the targeting of healthcare personnel. This is not collateral damage or a side effect of war. It is the systematic creation of unlivable conditions. It is the denial of survivability.
-
Governments and the international community must act now: press for a ceasefire, restore Gaza’s health system, enable aid access, protect medical workers and stop the genocide.
-
To read the report – see the first comment.
