At this point I think there is a concerted effort to undermine voices who resist the patriarchal norms

Reform accused of ‘pitching for votes of misogynists’ with plan to scrap Equality Act Charities have warned that scrapping the Equality Act would be a ‘significant step backwards’ for discrimination protections in Britain

"Jo Maugham KC, executive director of the Good Law Project, accused her of 'pitching for the votes of misogynists, homophobes, racists and antisemites, who are the only people who benefit from removing discrimination protections'."

Im not a normal person. But same yeah.

I teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement.

Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.

Paving Paradise (+ filmmakers Q&A) A collection of films that open up global conversations, from the environmental implications of AI to the ongoing political discourse around colonialism.

My short experimental film (Untitled)2025 screens in the London Short Film Festival. It is an evocative incantation to trans and non-binary ancestors forgotten because of land theft, colonisation and enforced binary genders which damage us all. www.shortfilms.org.uk/programme/pa...

“God damn them all.”

Your bravery is powerful and inspiring.

Here is a bit of my resignation speech from last night

The hunger strikers are in mortal danger. But the conditions they’re being kept in are already critical. How the government and its prisons ignore strikers' basic rights and demands.

Eight people are on hunger strike, several apparently at imminent risk of dying, because our law punishes more harshly those opposing genocide than those supporting it. (And under a so-called Labour Government.)

How on earth did we get here? www.vashtimedia.com/hunger-strik...

A thought experiment

Home for the Holidays: Sixteen Black Christmas films to add to your rotation this winter • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine From jolly rom-coms to chaotic family romps and religious gems, Robert Daniels celebrates sixteen Black Christmas films to add to your holiday rotation.

It’s here! For @letterboxd.social, I wrote a special starter pack about the rarest of gifts.

Here are 16 Black Christmas movies to cheer up your holiday!!

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

Pay them no mind! Also its a nice round magic number.

"The only way to stop bullies is to stand up to them. Anti-trans campaigners have been making legal threats, trying to force trans people out of public life. They thought after the SC decision the whole world would suddenly agree with them. But they've misunderstood the law, as well as human nature"

Good

Yeah isolation is one word for it.

Another is "apartheid".

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

Lost for words at where we are, the absolute cruelty
