it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

In Scotland we’re known for braving the cold, battling the wind and pretending it’s ‘taps aff’ weather at 12°C. But there’s one thing we won’t just tough out - losing Scotland’s wild places.

It’s in our nature to act. Sign our petition and stand up for nature: www.wwf.org.uk/scotland/202... ✏️

Fairer, greener, more equal: @jamie-livingstone.bsky.social at the end of #TaxJusticeScotland's conference says it’s time to turn ideas into action and deliver real change for people, public services and the planet.

Agree? Repost.

It would be better to name her than to just say a woman was named Archbishop!

"Sarah Mullally will be first woman to lead Church as Archbishop of Canterbury"

YUP this has annoyed me for ages

Also I always think that actually if you follow the pattern it would be, “trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary people are people” but honestly I think the whole thing is just a bit of a platitude at this point 🤷🏽‍♂️

Scottish Government announces £250k in humanitarian aid for Sudan

EXCLUSIVE: The Scottish Government has announced a further £250,000 in humanitarian aid for Sudan

It’s not about facts: they have access to the same facts as you and me.

They know paracetamol is safe. They know global warming is real. They know trans folk aren’t a danger to children. They know.

But these facts don’t allow for the division and fear they need to take power. Hence their hate.

DC canceled the release of Red Hood, but you can still buy all the back issues of Sandman you want?

Display case shows the fuze has been removed.

Paid a visit to the London arms fair today...

Found a component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display.

Confirmed by staff, and removed swiftly by event organisers. But what else remains?

These vile weapons should never be peddled in the UK.

Man that’s brutal. I genuinely didn’t even know this was a thing. Dread to think how many times I’d have been caught out by this if I lived in England rather than Scotland. Staggering to think about the £££s I’ve spent just because I’m muddling my way through adulthood with ADHD.

🚨Join us on Wed 17 Sep on Zoom, from 10am – 12.30pm for our Knowledge is Power workshop. If you are supporting people seeking asylum navigate the system, or want to do so, this is a great intro session. 🚨

If reports of the EHRC guidance are correct, it is not compatible with trans people's human rights.

It would usher in a system of segregation, policed via threats of legal action by those with money to burn.

Trans people, as well as people who are not trans, face harassment.

Since I began chairing New Scots partnership in 2018 these are the 8 Home Secretaries who have come, created asylum system havoc and then left. Av 1/yr

No wonder it’s a mess

I started posting on TikTok about racism, immigration, Palestine and Sudan. If you’re on there, I’d love if you gave me a follow @miriamirl thanks x

This EHRC guidance is designed to push trans people out of public life, making it nearly impossible for them to leave their homes.

And this onslaught doesn't just hurt our trans siblings. Cis women who don't conform to gender stereotypes are already under attack too.

UK Ministers must reject it.

Thing for cis people to PLEASE call their MP about:

The new code of conduct states that if someone suspects you are trans, they should ask for your birth certificate.

Is it the Labour government's advice that you should carry your birth certificate, which isn't a form of ID, with you at all times?

Just to double check before I share with folk, will this just focus on name changes via deed poll or will it also cover alternatives available in Scotland and NI?

BREAKING 🚨

The updated EHRC Code of Practice has now been sent to the Government. The Code is just as bad as we feared.

It would mean a mandatory trans bathroom ban, and trans people's exclusion from public life. The impact would be devastating.

But politicians still have time to stop this.

Allow me a moment to be a bit of a mother…

Please look after yourself today.

Sure, do the things that help like emailing your MP, but balance this with being present and doing things that bring you joy.

Close this app. Speak to friends and plan something fun to do this weekend and focus on that.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life.

And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should
