Unhinged from the Times. Not a shred of evidence in the article that Jewish groups have been "frozen out". Plenty of Jews will be marching against racism on Saturday. Unfortunately no evidence the Board of Deputies/JLC care. archive.ph/wip/zZbn9

26 March 1583: John Dee (seen here in a later, less accurate but more fun image) is having a very busy time. As we've seen, he's been consulted by the government about whether England should follow Catholic Europe by changing the calendar, and has advised that it should; his ... 1/ #earlymodern

The effects that has on women and girls- especially global majority women and girls (who are more likely to have intersex conditions) is HUGE. It is also more likely in athletes than the general population. This policy is not only transphobic but deeply racist and sexist.

This is just… so, so extremely upsetting. A devastating exclusionary step, and an awful message to trans girls that their dreams have limits. We have to keep standing up against the spread of hate, fear and division that led us here. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

In Space, No-One Can Steer Your Cream

Was great to make @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social 's dispute visible right in the heart of Newcastle yesterday. Good turnout too!

Marking for one module done, thank you past me for blitzing a load of it when I had energy :)

About bloody time!

'Can't believe the union wants to contact me'/'can't believe the union haven't contacted me' Venn diagram is a CIRCLE

Won’t be a problem soon when we don’t need postal balloting but yeah. Come on people.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that no matter how many times you ask, your work email will end up being bombarded with union stuff. I’m too autistic and ADHD for this mixing of worlds. And nobody should ever use work email for TU organising. It’s literally asking management to snoop.

Fig rolls, essentially. The king of biscuits.

Closest I’ve come to putting money into Rowling merch was a forced stop in a Harry Potter themed bar in Wroclaw with a dodgy stomach. Didn’t buy anything but did use the toilet. Felt good.

@drjogrady.bsky.social rocking it at the @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social rally today - great support for and from @ucu.org.uk members.

Every time I post about endometriosis and dare to make it, gender inclusive, I always get a lot of comments from people angry that I didn’t just say “women” And every time, I think about how Rowling has enough money to cure endometriosis forever. But she doesn’t actually give a fuck about women.

Also, so what, honestly.

omg

No ethical consumption under capitalism means "I will have to get the medications I need from a terrible Big Pharma company," it does not mean "I have to watch my crummy wizard show or my tummy horts."

From Instagram - today the Dyke Project shut down NHS England HQ to protest the politically motivated ban on trans youth healthcare.

Oof! Well said @drjogrady.bsky.social! www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

Why are you, a mid to late 30 year still obsessed with Harry Potter? You’re never going to freaking Hogwarts, you’ll never get your silly house assignment, and JK Rowling wouldn’t even piss on you if you were on fire. Grow up and stop financially supporting a moldy bigot.

Me and my niece 16 years ago. She was a little doll omggg

This is very, very funny

I read every Harry Potter book when they came out when I was a kid. Now I am a grownup so I read books that are by, about, and for grownups. Few things more depressing than watching sniveling so-called adults lick transphobic billionaire boot to defend their precious IP. Grow a backbone and grow up.

fantastic day! we fight on.

Hardly the point, but GOD it's a beautiful script

Hi #ucu folks! You may not know but UCUCommons puts out a newsletter which highlights various UCU, FE, and HE stuff. It comes out every other week and we’ve been running it for a few months. I think it’s helpful and readable. HE centric because that’s where we are at the moment.

Our #ucu Commons fortnightly newsletter is out! Please have a read for updates on what we've been up to and news from the sector more generally.

Sending off my life savings into the void for (a part of) the house deposit and sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for confirmation of receipt

Back on strike today, big @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk rally at Monument at 1pm. University management want to take £100k out of my pension or cut my pay by £7500! Fuck off quite frankly, especially as theyve walked out of talks.

Nigella’s chorizo and chickpea stew is true comfort food. You can Google the recipe.

With less than a month to go until 'Borders, Boundaries, and Barriers' we are delighted to be in a position to support 7 (SEVEN!!) students to attend the conference. This is made possible by a generous grant by @pastpresentsoc.bsky.social (covering 5). @medievaljews.bsky.social will cover 2 more. 1/

Like, if the leaders of these organisations had any backbone they'd simply ignore the law. What are they gonna do, mass arrest every Girlguide leader in the country?

If Hovis don’t make a rye version of this called Seven Seeds of Rye I will riot

There is a big pressure to frame new historical research as "what they don't want you to know" or "your professors lied" which reaffirms public perception of academics as either 1) lazy/bad or 2) part of a conspiracy to suppress the "real" truth. Result of devaluing historical method/expertise
