Really enjoyed the BBK AI Summit keynote from @drkatedevlin.bsky.social this morning.

Refreshing to hear a well-present, well reasoned, critical take on the current landscape in higher education.

Graphic with a purple background. In the top right in a green text box with black writing it says "'Email the minister for equalities and your MP" "scottishtrans.org/emailfortransinclusion". On the left there are illustrations of placards which say "Inclusion not Exclusion" and "No segregation! Trans Liberation!" as well as a placard with a trans symbol. In the bottom right are the Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos.

Hospital wards, homeless shelters, refuges. Do we really want to live in a world where trans people could find themselves excluded and segregated in times of crisis?

The EHRC consultation closes tomorrow - read our full guide and respond here: www.scottishtrans.org/supreme-cour...

a bunch more tickets have sold for this.

sorry to go on, but it’ll be fun and you shouldn’t miss out on fun, should you?

This lunchtime I visited @wellcomecollection.bsky.social & watched White by Danielle Dean. An 8min animation showing indigenous flora being removed for farming, with a soundscape featuring the distinctive NZ birds. Relaxing & compelling.

Campaigners criticized Criterion Capital for prioritizing redevelopment over preserving the site's community purpose and urged collaboration to explore sustainable alternatives.

Criterion Capital have a very recent history of trying to close historic London landmarks in the name of redevelopment.

The decision to close the historic facility, which had served as a vital community hub since 1844, sparked significant public outcry and a grassroots "Save YMCA Club" campaign.

From @wikipedia.org (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asif_Aziz)

In late 2024, Aziz's property company, Criterion Capital, became associated with the planned closure of the world's first YMCA, located on London's Great Russell Street.
