ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

It's notable that the only student speech frequently shut down on university campuses is a) pro-Palestine b) pro-trans-rights. The OfS seems *deeply* unconcerned about that speech being limited. In fact, they want academics who oppose those positions to have the right to 'shock and offend' students.

The last time he pulled this Muslim ban BS, people rushed into the streets in disgust & lawyers raced to the airports to help. Now, no one’s shocked, everyone is numb… This country is in seriously scary shape

🎤 If the government wants national renewal, they should invest in the arts and culture 🎤 Today, we're launching a petition to remind Rachel Reeves: the arts make our lives happier and our communities stronger. Now is the moment to invest in them 🌱 www.campaignforthearts.org/petitions/sp... 🧶👇

Headline - sounds good, actually Article - oh, no. No thank you

Britain's university system is now in freefall. In the last two weeks, redundancies at: *Aberdeen *Arts Uni Bournemouth *Bangor *Durham *Exeter *Falmouth *Greenwich *Keele *Newcastle *Nottingham *Plymouth *Trinity St Davids

I’m profoundly sad to say that as of today, I’ll no longer be able to do my job as co-artistic director of #Touretteshero because of a recent decision by #AccessToWork to cut my support by 61%. Read & share this post, the hardest I've had to write: www.touretteshero.com/2025/05/23/a... 1/4

Talent Development at Sheffield Theatres? I sure hope it does. Below is a thread of our current opportunities! Including the newly announced Theatremakers Group for emerging artists of all disciplines in our region!

Big fan of this as a method, both for bigots and for disengaging with male academics that We All Know About.

I’m still looking for someone to share my Edfringe digs with. 1-15 August in Leith. It's a 1-bedroom, with a private bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room (I don't mind where I sleep). £1400, so it would be £700 per person for the fortnight. Shout if interested and feel free to share!

Since the GE, I’ve been saying to anyone that listens that Labour needs to stop pandering to the far right base, and make changes that will improve people’s quality of life, otherwise they’re gonna go full fash and Reform will sweep the next election. So many folks have said that would never happen

the white working class falls for it every time. they are told immigrants or queer people are getting “special rights” even as billionaires hoard trillions.

For anyone who needs some GOOD news, Nottoway Plantation—burial site of countless victims of the rape, maiming, and slaughter of the formerly enslaved but where white people love to brunch & get married—has burned to the ground. May the ancestors continue to rest peacefully. Amen.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around. They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway. It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

Love to be reminded that I’m not welcome in the UK purely because I’m foreign, it’s my fave

A lot has been said about Labour's hardening of immigration rules & dehumanising rhetoric, but nobody is sharing the opinions of migrant workers. That's why we commissioned Nandi Msezane, a care worker in East Sussex, to write this piece for us. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...

Starmer making the Hostile Environment policy even more hostile by quantifying migrants’ worth is giving ‘incel telling his mate that the female had it coming because of her high body count’

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

Please, stop inviting me to review shows written by/using AI. I’m not going to come or pass the invites to the other writers of TPTTUK

If you're on a visa in the UK (i.e a migrant) you do not have access to public services. You pay for the NHS and pay taxes. So someone like me funds public services 100%

This is 43, starting as I mean to go on, aging disgracefully, etc.

Close to TWO THOUSAND academics and educators say TRANS RIGHTS NOW. (Sorry if you've seen this (and the historians' letter!) too many times. The lack of an algorithm means we have to keep reposting it to catch people, and this really matters.)

There are 3000+ shows in the #edfringe, but no way to find those led by women and people of marginalised genders in the website or print programme. Enter: the #FemiFringe Guide! Register your show by Saturday 31 May to be included in our 4th edition. bit.ly/FemiFringe

As a queer migrant, I am very tired of British people telling me I must understand, sympathise with and forgive people voting far-right. But either these voters refuse to listen to facts and reason, or they just plain don't want people like me to exist. Either way, why give them my time?

UK-based feminist academics, you know what to do!

Look at her! 😍

This is fucking incredible.

Honestly this is one of my biggest fears as a lecturer

Time is of the essence and we need to fight the EHRC interim guidance before it becomes statutory and Parliament make it law. Don’t just shout about it, write to them. Also tell the media, if you can get them to care. I’ve posted this on Instagram. Speak to your unions and staff networks at work

Dear Theatre conspirators. (Those who breathe together?) What is the next necessary risk? Sharing a question that is working on me at the moment. Not looking for answers just knowing you will have your own personal response.

Thanks, I hate it

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Morning Bluesky! Have you cancelled a planned trip or move – holiday, work, short-term or long-term – to the USA? Fancy chatting to me about for a piece? @ me or DM if so, especially if you’re located in the UK. (RTs much appreciated too).

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

Raising up dramaturg love.

The photos of gleeful, hateful bigots are really something. Imagine what kind of absolute loser you'd have to be to invest any part of yourself in destroying the rights of some of your fellow humans, let alone your entire identity. Fuck terfs. Trans women are women.

Will UK universities ever stand up for their international students ( revenue the university desperately needs but happy for the students to be treated like criminals)? Will they ever stand up for their international staff ?

Maybe I should care more about this economic collapse, but I’m still navigating the consequences of the 2008 one on my life. It’s just giving “same shit different day”

Re: the Libgen and Meta AI issue, tbh I’m ok with my publications being on libgen. Knowledge and research should be freely available to all and writers should be compensated for their work. The current neoliberal academic hellscape doesn’t generally allow for that,… 1/x
