Exactly!

Government will ban trans employees from toilets that reflect their gender Pat McFadden said preventing trans people from using the changing rooms and bathrooms of their choosing is the ‘logical consequence’ of the Supreme Court ruling on biological sex

Shocked at the cruelty of official toilet war on trans people 🏳️‍⚧️ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

@uniteucu.bsky.social members are striking again today. By failing its staff, @ucu.org.uk is failing its members. Employers, the interests of your ‘clients’ cannot be served by poor staff working conditions. #solidarity

💔💪

Happy Heart Unions week! It would be lovely to hear why you do... for this Leeds UCUer it is largely the wonderful people who unite to make the uni a better place for everyone! Big love to our sister unions too - harking back 2 years now to when we were all on strike www.tuc.org.uk/heartunions

I've also just listened to 'County Lines' (BBC) - some similar techniques there too

Have you listened to ‘A Very British Cult’ - also BBC?

Our branch stands in solidarity with our colleagues in @uniteucu.bsky.social (Unite branch LE 127), who have commenced a three-day strike action today as part of their Safe & Professional Workplace dispute with UCU. ✊ 1/7

Thank you Colin

Klezmer I can recommend for sure but Ashkenazi metal?

I’m not sure how increasing the cost of public transport will facilitate an 81% decrease
In carbon emissions.

Thank you - didn’t know Wordle was on the other side of a picket line but I do now ✊

We stand in silence to remember those who died
And read the words that tell them how we lied,
When promising 'the war to end all wars'
But selling guns and bombs to distant shores.

At each November's cenotaph parade
We sing the hymns and hear the bugle play.
We lay our flowers down upon the floor,
Whilst other places live their latest war.

Remembrance

How do we betray our glorious dead?
With paper wreaths and swathes of knitted red,
With poppy brooches, badges, bags and bling,
Petals prettify everything.

We stand in silence to remember those who died
And read the words that tell them how we lied,
When promising 'the war to end all wars'
But selling guns and bombs to distant shores.
