Okay I’ve found the best trans pride sign

A reminder the NHS Fife employment tribunal many are losing their minds over is not about whether trans people should use certain bathrooms, it was about allegations of bullying and harassment against a trans doctor. Despite campaigners claiming differently, it's not up to NHS Fife to drop the case.

🚨 Call for evidence on banning unpaid internships 🚨 Today, the Department for Business and Trade has announced a new call for evidence to inform what action the Government should take to put an end to unpaid internships! This a very positive announcement ⤵️

No this is such a dumb argument I can't... 😭

In London working for a while, and I get to use the newlyish minted Windrush Line a lot which I think is A Pretty Cool Thing.

I’ve voted and I stuck to my pledge to #RankWomenFirst 🗳️

🚨BREAKING: After years of campaigning, the Gypsy Traveller community has finally received an apology for the cruel Tinker Experiments. This is not the end of righting wrongs. The @scottishgreens.org are proud to have raised this in with Parliament, most recently last month.

I'm glad to live in a world where we're finally waking up to the fact that cars have killed our cities.

Oh look, it’s David Goodhart, until recently an EHRC commissioner.

I can't believe there's still climate deniers when there's regularly now decent weather in Edinburgh!

Edinburgh Campaign Against Arms Trade will be in Scottish Parliament this week to challenge our MSPs about spending public money on arms manufacturers - including companies who make weapons for Israel 😡 @caatuk.bsky.social Ask your MSP to come chat to us! I'll be there all day Wednesday

After this my imposter syndrome really should be dead and buried (it won't be!) www.mysocialworknews.com/article/wave...

the amount of FOMO I am experiencing from not pre-ordering the Switch 2 is unreal! here i thought i could wait it out - how sorely mistaken was i 😂

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

I’ve always been sad that my neighbouring ward Cllr @gavincorbett.bsky.social stood down at the last election so we didn’t work on cross boundary issues together 🗺️📍 I’m delighted Gavin is endorsing the excellent @qmanivannan.bsky.social who will make a fab colleague instead (!) 🗳️ #VoteGreen

makingrightsreal.org.uk/tinker-exper... Mark Ruskell MSP asked “the Scottish Government whether it will issue a formal public apology to members of the Gypsy Traveller community, in light of reports of the harm caused by what was known as the Tinker Experiment.” @markruskell.bsky.social

After having a vague nose, it SHOULD, also be panic stations for the nice gardening greens of the region. Can that style of politics be a convincing alternative to the eco-populist approach being proposed?

Investigative journalism isn’t fast or easy. It takes time, resources, and persistence. But it makes a difference. The Ferret has spent years exposing corporate misconduct, political influence, and environmental harm. Help us continue: theferret.scot/subscribe

My lSunday Mail column today confronts the wolf in sheep’s clothing called Nigel Farage. He’ll eat working class people alive given half a chance. #RejectReformUK

Trans and being told by your employer you can no longer use the toilets at work (especially if not out to all your colleagues)? A cis woman who has been challenged when using the toilet? Otherwise affected by the SC judgment? Please share & fill out this form: goodlawproject.org/about/trans-...

The treatment of Nicola Packer has been appalling. The CPS should never have brought this case to trial, and the law should never have made what she did illegal in the first place. Abortion must be decriminalised now. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We are very pleased to be able to share news of the appointment or our new Director, Charlie McMillan! Charlie seamlessly stepped in as Interim Director last September and has wonderfully steered the helm of the organisation through a period of transition and change.

Still a few things that the good ol' Catholic Church is actually good for! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Because nothing says “standing up for women” like trying to get 4 women removed from the Equalities Committee 🙄 It seems only women who are transphobic are allowed a voice according to the Scottish Tories 🤔 #TransRights 🏳️‍⚧️ www.thenational.scot/news/2512724...

🧵We just delivered over 100k signatures to Downing Street telling them it’s time to decriminalise abortion. Another woman is on trial THIS WEEK.

the new observer is pretty meh*. I thought that it would either be better or worse than under the Guardian, but instead its actually the same, that is meh!

I want to read an article about all the recent Katy Perry flops. First there was her album TikTok made fun of, now this, all her reboots seem to just flop so badly! www.theverge.com/blue-origin/...

I spoke to STV news about yesterday’s ruling, what it means for our community 🏳️‍⚧️ Hope does not die, but sometimes it can be hard. Show up and show out, don’t let us do this alone 💪🏾

Shocked, i tell you, shocked! www.theguardian.com/education/20...

🧵For Women Scotland crowdfunded £230,000 for this trial. I am going to tell you as an actual feminist what £230000 pounds could have done for women in the UK. -Fund housing for women escaping gender violence for eg it could have paid two months of rent for about 160 women
