Had a request from someone for PhD student counselling/coaching/mentoring. I don't do this - can you make yourself known if you do so people know what options are out there? Thank you 🙏

A few of mum’s neighbours in Lancashire who are white and old but they are not poor as they prospered through houses that have gone up in value 10x since the 80s and bought a flat in Spain with a remortgage/equity release.

What show do you wish you could watch again with fresh eyes and experience it new for the first time? Mine is the Last Airbender: the legend of Aang. An amazing story with great character development and the music was a triumph #tvshows

Going through the EHRC consultation on guidance following the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. They just want to exclude trans people from public life. They aren’t even hiding it. Not for one service because of sex assigned at birth, not for the other because of presentation.
