"At the same time 35 disabled artists have informed Graeae they will also face cuts in tandem and suffer delays to funding of up to 15 months" - this is not about one person or one organisation - disabled people across the UK are under attack from Starmer's government.

The government is cutting Graea Directoe Jenny Sealey's Access to Work by 50% - not only a direct assault on her equal right to work, but what feels like a targeted attack on the capacity of a leading disabled organisation to speak truth to power and challenge and change culture. This is obscene.

Hmm.. I don’t think so

So the extended version of Grace Jones' 'Private Life' just came on the radio and suddenly all the bad things seem very far away...

When he removed the scissors he became Edward Hands and then nobody liked him anymore

They're talking about the history of LGBT people and lives in Ireland on NTS radio, it's really good - www.nts.live/shows/smut-p...

The reason they are forcing this tech everywhere and pushing it so hard is because they want people gathering surveillance data for them constantly and I hate that you sound paranoid pointing this out.

a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork. her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before she’s put on a plane and might never be able to return. please, help if you can. they’re both terrified.

The problem with electing capitalist toadies to office is they dictate to the working class based purely on spite, resentment and am aimless urge to control our lives.

We want to support Girlguiding and the Women's Institute to remain inclusive. We think the law is on our side, and we're offering to cover all their costs. But we need you to tell them how important trans inclusion is to you 👇

Watching the livestreams of the fascist march in manchester today and it's pretty disgusting. The greater manchester police have pretty routinely facilitated these fuckers in feeling emboldened for months, targeting asylum hotels in the wider area. Today they're here in numbers to press forward.

It's really disturbing how in the mid 2010s there were several regularly active trans journalists in the British mainstream press and presently there's like maybe 2 who occasionally get some token comment somewhere when someone's given us a kicking.

Copilot is on home computers, what do people actually use it for in everyday life? I read the article and I still don't know. Helping with emails? Seems like such a faff.

Some of my pals may wonder why I repost things like this. It's not really 'raising awareness' to maybe get a couple of people annoyed about it, so why do it? It's a good question. It's partly an exasperated "grrrrrr" but also I'm more likely to retain the information if I've reposted it.

Post of the day and it's not even half 9. Is this an actual human, do we think?

We've been repeatedly promised a full ban on conversion practices in the UK by successive governments and yet we've seen more momentum behind banning youth from social media, a thing that conversion therapists have been actively advocating for.

I keep trying to get people to explain this to people. There is no part of the Trump project that Labour isn't enthusiastically pursuing, with the exception that rather than building new camps we are either repurposing military bases or sending people to other nations for holding.
