part of the reason for the rise of reform is labour trying to appeal to their supporters by aping their arguments and policies. all labour votes reward this strategy, your labour vote says "yes, i love racism, more racism please"

A few years ago myself and some crip friends read Disability Visibility as the first book in our book club. Alice heard about it, over on the bad place, and sent us signed book plates. May her memory be a blessing and a revolution.

Equalities Minister tears apart logic of EHRC’s “trans-exclusive” guidance in High Court 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/equalities-minister-tears-apart-logic-of-ehrcs-trans-exclusive-guidance-in-high-court/

The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.

This is profound, if you read one thing today, make it this poem. The power of zero | Polina Sparks

One of the highlights of my year in Edinburgh is the @lighthousebks.bsky.social Radical Bookfair, it's such a fab event centering community care, and this year comrades from @edinmaskbloc.bsky.social provided 1500+ masks to attendees! 🥳 As usual I completely blew my budget, here's my book haul 📚

Sophie is a brave and brilliant journalist, and everyone should go and read her article below 🏳️‍⚧️

If you don't know where to get masks or can't afford them, find a mask bloc at maskblog.org - you might have one locally or find one that can post masks. We do it and are always excited to help you protect yourself and others! Email us if you're interested

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Lesbians support our trans sisters. Sigrid: “I’ve been a feminist for 50 years – and in that time I’ve seen lesbians and feminists change the world. Change means reaching out to others who are oppressed – people of colour, working-class people, queer people, trans people." #transrightsarehumanrights

Read my two letters to the #UK: 1. Protests: I call for a review of the legal framework and the reconsideration of provisions in the Crime & Policing Bill that could restrict freedom of assembly. 2. Trans people: I warn against exclusion&zero-sum approaches 👇#HumanRights www.coe.int/en/web/commi...

Instead of integrating pointless AI tools into all their software, maybe Microsoft could make it possible to save changes to a Word document while working on a second Word document instead of freezing my whole laptop for daring to multitask in the advanced year of 2025.

Do you like optoelectronic materials? Do you like discussing them with your colleagues? Do you like hearing distant bagpipes as soon as you arrive in a city? I can promise all three of these things if you join us for this exciting Faraday Discussion in Edinburgh next July!

There's still time to join us in Edinburgh for the Emerging materials for optoelectronics applications Faraday Discussion! #Chemsky 🚨 ORAL ABSTRACT DEADLINE EXTENDED! Submit yours by 27 October 2025 📅 Mark your calendars for 1 - 3 July 2026 More info ➡ www.rsc.org/events/detai... @rsc.org

We are very grateful to be welcomed to IISc Bengaluru for another fantastic meeting of the PCCP Editorial Board. Many thanks to Prabal Maiti and colleagues for hosting, and to the RSC India office for their support. We look forward to welcoming the PCCP community to tomorrow's SPHERE symposium!

🔋A new themed collection on 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 is now online & free to access until January 2026! 🧪 Collection ➡️ rsc.li/Batteries24 📖 Editorial ➡️ doi.org/10.1039/D5GC... 📝 More info ➡️ blogs.rsc.org/gc/2025/10/1... @rsc.org #GreenChemistry #SustainableEnergy #BatteryResearch

🏳️‍⚧️ Every UK GIC's waiting list times, based on painstaking FOIs and research, are now available as part of our new investigation. Most Trans+ people in the UK will wait more than a third of their adult life, and some will never receive care. Understand why: 👉 www.wearequeeraf.com/gender-clini...

Covid has never gone away, and it's not just a cold. My infection in 2022 left me permanently disabled after previously being fit and healthy. Get boosted, and wear a mask in busy public spaces, especially public transport and hospitals. Not sure where to find a mask? Ask @edinmaskbloc.bsky.social!

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.

Excited to share that the Editorial that I co-wrote with @anoukrijs.bsky.social celebrating the 25th anniversary of PCCP is published online and free to access 🥳 Give it a read, and enjoy free access to all 104 fantastic articles in our anniversary collection until January 2026! #chemsky

PCCP is delighted to to celebrate our 25th Anniversary with you with a collection of more than 100 insightful articles from the PCCP community #chemsky All papers are now online and free to access until 10th January 2026! Read the full collection: pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/...

This one will be a great throwback to my PhD research a few years ago - if your research covers optoelctronic materials, don't miss out on what's sure to be a brilliant discussion! Follow @faradaydiscussions.rsc.org for more updates.

Join in the @faradaydiscussions.rsc.org on #Optoelectonic materials. We'll discuss how structural, electronic and optical properties affect device performance, combining expertise across materials design, modelling, characterization, and engineering. Submit an abstract by 13 October 2025 #ChemSky

All the firms I have advised have now understood that this is "guidance" and they don't have to follow it. The law does not require you to provide spaces that are inclusive only of "biological sex". Carry on as before.

If you’re still wearing a mask, thank you Thank you for standing in solidarity with disabled & high risk people Thank you for practicing community care Thank you for following the science & seeing the value in breaking chains of transmission Thank you protecting your health Thank you.

Despite the fact that vaccines have saved millions of lives and RFK Jr made promises that he was not anti-vaccine when he was confirmed as HHS and pledged to maintain vaccines and science integrity he is systematically going back on that promise #ImmunoSky 🧪🧵

These kids are amazing 🥰 chuffed.org/project/supp... If you're so inclined, you can support them here.

Can't have kids er... (checks notes)... reading quietly in public? That sounds dangerous, they might become informed about their human rights and how they're being repeatedly violated!

Happening now! Trans Kids Deserve Better Scotland are holding a read-in outside Glasgow City Chambers. They are protesting cuts to school libraries in Glasgow.

I grew up under Section 28 and this horrific policy is already doing untold damage. Pandering to the most bigoted minorities in order to gain a handful of votes is going to spectacularly backfire for Labour.

I was one of the many thousands of people with ME/CFS who took part in this study, and it's fantastic to see the results published as a preprint today. For the first time we have evidence that ME/CFS is partly caused by genes related to the immune & nervous systems. 1/5

For those working in lignin research, I can't emphasise enough how valuable and exciting Faraday Discussions are - the discussion format is so unique, and as an added bonus, this one is at Burlington House, which is a lovely venue full of cool chemistry history.
