Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'. One wonders what *would*.

"The last few years of apparent stasis and rapid, almost convulsive, change resulting in the creation of new spaces, the loss of old spaces, and the off-and-on of the meanwhile spaces in which many of Sheffield’s creative conversations happen." longbarrowpress.substack.com/p/urban-vill...

A concrete thing every UK person who cares about trans rights can do right now: 1. Email a link of this report to your MP, with highlights from the executive summary in your email. Ask them what it means for your constituency and their party - highlight trans people's legally mandated human rights

The Equality and Human Rights Commission's six-week consultation into its guidance on how to implement the supreme court's ruling on gender closed last night - and had *25,825* responses, the EHRC says.

Happy Pride Month everyone!

At the cinema for Doctor Who because I am a giant nerd 💙💙

Great summary of the difference between successful and unsuccessful applications for Immersive Arts' first funding round (which I didn't apply to!). At the £20k and £50k levels, what stands out is a need for specificity, timeliness, and having a really good team in place.

I'm watching the Parliamentary debate about the self-ID e-petition and my JAW IS ON THE FLOOR. The MPs speaking are hitting ALL the key pro-trans talking points: - transphobic bias in EHRC - nightmare of SC ruling - toilet bans are awful - must hear trans voices - IGLA rainbow map 1/
