Someone explain to me why making him an advisor isn't worse? Sorely that's worse?!

We have powers to work with organisations to make sure they understand the law...says woman who doesn't understand the law, has produced unworkable guidance, and had to bluff her way through select committee hearings with word salads apple.news/AWdugeITDTca...

Dr Stephenson really gives the vibe of the supply teacher everyone mocked. I'll defy the guidance hun, but it won't be performative - I'm just going to ignore it as should every trans person who can safely do so!

lol the Times can’t even get the acronym right

Lot of cis people still dont see trans people being forced out of public spaces as segregation and i urge them to wake the fuck up and read a history book as well as a dictionary Its *literally* segregation If you think even saying it is bad, you should be angry its actually happening

“Are you okay, ma’am?” “I think I swallowed my router.” “Here, take my seat.”

Pubic Service Announcement The Vagina Museum is trans inclusive. Always has been, always will be. Today the new EHRC Code of Practice comes into effect. Let us be clear, the guidance changes nothing about how we operate.

I know I keep saying this but I'm a summer where the country is LITERALLY ON FIRE cutting back environmental criteria on stuff is ABSOLUTE MADNESS.

Lucy Fisher@lucyfisher.ft.com · yesterday

Net zero/environmental criteria, and demands like tackling domestic violence and improving local high streets, will be scrapped from new social value model Haigh & John Healey will also direct Cabinet to “maximise the use of public procurement... to deliver innovation & growth in every postcode”

We'd still be allowed books, right?!

I see small boat crossings are still to blame for all the countries woes 🙄

Andy, Andy ANDY!!! Let me help, i can 100% end small boat crossings. Just set up a UKBA application site in Calais and give em a seat on the ferry. Then pick em up so they they can get to the family they already have here. You Mostrous bastard. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Completely ridiculous that thousands of people are facing prison sentences for holding placards and yet there is debate over which killers or rapists, or paedophiles or sexual abusers or robbers or batterers should be let loose

"For closeted queer teens in rural areas, access to social media and role models can be a lifeline that lets them know they belong." From the archive 👇

Rise of social media bans is a blunt force that will harm LGBTQIA+ children, especially in rural areas

If we are serious about protecting young people, we need to approach social media policy with that nuance in mind.

AMOC collapses, we're going to lose probably half the humans on the planet. Maybe more. Probably more.

I love reading the comments of recipe pages where people are like "I didn't have any sugar so I substituted crushed red pepper flakes and it was SO SPICY. I can't believe you didn't warn people how spicy it is. 0 out of 5 stars."

Slightly overdone it shopping in town today with my daughter but now I have new pJ shorts, new teas and new books - settling in for the perfect evening!

I don't do facebook anymore (and haven't for a long time), but a friend has just reminded me that 7 yrs ago I finished perhaps the hardest physical challenge of my life! Makes me a little sad when I think how unfit I currently am :( And yes, I stopped to put on lipstick for the finish line

still mad at this IT'S BOTH YOU DICHOTOMOUS FREAKS I have a harder time doing repetitive chores than others despite being able to perform at the 99th percentile and above on complex reasoning tasks because my brain is different the moral value assigned to "not doing chores" is a social construct

So much this! We have been through a trauma as a country (as have many countries) and the UK gov wants to pretend it hasn't happened and the increased disability and mental ill health (just for example) has fallen out of the sky

The Fig Economy@figgityfigs.bsky.social · last wk.

One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.

What a difference a couple of letters make... Train workers - should have access to a toilet Trans workers - let's actively ban them from using the toilet

Dawn Butler MP@dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social · last wk.

No one should be expected to work for hours without access to a toilet. Suppose they have a heavy period? It's unacceptable that train drivers are still being let down on this. Solidarity with @aslefunion.bsky.social. Every worker deserves dignity at work. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

We must be clear that Burnham’s government is going to DELIBERATELY force trans people to go for hours without access to a toilet (incl children). Labour are still pretending that Burnham cannot rescind the Supreme Court misjudgement at any time. Burnham is CHOOSING to segregate trans people.
