wild to me that terfs are still claiming the nhs is 'transing' kids. 1) there's no incentive to do that and never has been. 2) thanks to hilary cass the only care available for trans kids on the nhs is conversion 'therapy'.
Tomorrow is Joey’s 30th birthday. We’re having a party for him today. What a thing. ❤️❤️❤️
Striking how many of these signators have also expressed their support for eugenicist ableism. Peter Singer at the top of the list.
Jonathan W. Gray@elmcitytree.blacksky.app · 6d agoThere’s a petition signed by more than one hundred academics (& counting!) in support of Nathan Cofnas—the racist who instigated the pile on that led to J. Arday’s death—because he lost his postdoc. Apparently there’s nothing a white man can do that deserves consequences.
The Trump regime is already starting to round up and torture trans people and the third of the country who's supposed to have our backs still thinks this is a friendly debate about sports.
Complete bollocks from Kathleen Stock who is obviously too arrogant or too lazy to learn anything about intellectual disability, or the other conditions she lists. And I say this as someone who thinks, no, my Joey shouldn’t go to Cambridge.
So awful about Jason Arday. Cambridge University have questions to answer, but so, dear God, do our awful, awful press.
Oh my word... BBC News - Ex-Cambridge professor at centre of plagiarism row found dead www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Jason Arday: Former Cambridge university professor found dead

Reform UK people moaning on the BBC about the BBC ganging up against them should remember that Farage has been on BBCs Question Time more than any other MP.
Matilda Davis was an inspirational mother. She battled for years for proper support for her six year old son Jude, who had significant disabilities. Last October, Matilda killed herself, three days after raising the plight of parent-carers. This is her story: www.theguardian.com/society/ng-i...
Matilda in pieces: what one mother’s suicide reveals about the carers broken by the system
Parent-carers of disabled children are exposed to chronic levels of extreme stress and often reach crisis point before help is available – then they face a ‘fight for basic support’, experts say. This...

I could go on about Peter Gill all day - I've been asked to write more - so I'll just say this. More than anyone else I've ever met he embodied George Devine's commandment - 'You should choose your theatre like you choose your religion.'
The great Peter Gill - a genius, a one-off, my friend & teacher, the true keeper of the early Court flame - is dead. I wrote this about him a few years back. I'd be honoured if you had a look at it. playfortoday.substack.com/p/peter-gill
Peter Gill
'What used to be called directing, dear.'

Peter Gill has died. He taught me more about theatre directing - and playwriting - than anyone else. The last link to George Devine’s Royal Court. RIP.
Sat here in Stamford Hill in the heart of Diane Abbott’s constituency and surrounded by Orthodox Jews, I really don’t think anyone has anything to fear from our MP.
@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social you reached a new low tonight. Nick Watt, Farage’s conduit to the BBC, his comments read out verbatim without challenge or comment. Disgraceful. Hang your heads in shame.
Dave Merritt@butwhatifitsall.bsky.social · last mo.Nick Watt on Newsnight reading out messages from Reform politicians in real time is a new low. What the actual fuck? They grill Polanski on air about a trivial social media matter. When would Farage ever submit to such an interview? Never. An absolute disgrace.
So Nick Watt is now Reform UKs spokesman on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Ludicrous.
Hey @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social you’re flogging a dead horse tonight. @vicderbyshire.bsky.social
I hope @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social paid Savannah Cumberbatch for appearing on the programme tonight.
Renewables are now the world's largest source of electricity – and the main source of new supplies
I was at school with Ed Stourton. He was endlessly intelligent, handsome. decent, sophisticated and destined to succeed. RIP
President Theodore Roosevelt, as if speaking of Donald Trump 116 years ago.
So FIFA dont mind political banners Can only hope we see this one tonight
so nigel said he was given £5 million for security but has since said he could spend it on anything and he also turned down taxpayer-funded security but is complaining about a lack of security
