Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in the UK for over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. The link is a quick way to email the Home Office: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Long Covid patients gaslit by GPs, Surrey study finds The University of Surrey study says patients faced "gatekeeping" of medical treatment from doctors.

The BBC has covered our study on medical power and #LongCovid. It’s a shame they didn’t name me and got my university name wrong, but nonetheless, good to see some MSM attention

71% of disabled people want to use more sustainable modes of transport but face barriers to this. The numbers 71% are written in thick black tape on a bright orange banner, with orange arrows pointing to the figures.

71% of disabled people want to use more sustainable modes of transport, but face needless barriers such as overcrowding, missing announcements and a lack of lifts. Public transport must be accessible, so we can all make choices about how to travel.

New arrival: Final installment of my trilogy on the ripple effects of American pragmatism.

Hi #philsky, I'm searching for philosophies of complicatedness,- so not philosophy of complexity, but specifically complicatedness. There might be an overlap, but it seems rather complicated. ; ) I would love to discover philosophies or philosophers who wrote about this matter.

Chronic illness runs our life, it almost always comes first.

It’s miserable. We can’t plan anything.

Most of us say no to social events, holidays and other commitments because the stress of knowing you MUST do something is awfully hard on a person with unpredictable illness

Every single non-disabled person who is supporting the PIP cuts should be handed a £15k “disability costs” bill each year and asked how they plan on paying it. Because people don’t really need benefits? You’ll be able to find £15k on top of rent, food, utilities and your summer holiday? Right?

Most non-disabled people tend to imagine disability in terms of simple, obvious things - a single part of the body not working the way it does in others. In reality, most disabilities are complex, with multiple problems interacting to make basic tasks impossible. #disability

She's an amazing fox. Despite having lost an eye a few years ago, she continues to be a great mum. This is a bumper year for her - she has 5 cubs. No wonder she needs a snooze!

Proud to have been apart of this team. Research methodology matters. Policy should be based on methodologically sound research. Our results show the many methodological flaws of the Cass Review. Check it out ⬇️

Why it's essential we make more accessible work for disabled people. We're doing our small bit — but it shouldn't just be down to disabled people to create the work for ourselves

“You don’t look that sick to me”

No kidding. I’ve got an invisible illness and have spent most of my life learning to hide it. Why?

Because people don’t want to see it. They expect you to hide the pain, fatigue & loss of function. To put on a happy face for their comfort.
