🌈 Happy Pride Month! I’m a proud LGBTQ+ artist working in raku and traditional pottery — and I’d be so honored if you share my work. This Pride, I’m reflecting on something personal: I never thought I’d make it to this age. But I did. And I’m still here. Creating. Grateful. Alive 💖 #pride #pottery

An excellent new episode of @climatetown.bsky.social , glad to see the discussion around animal agriculture industry's impact on climate change and looking forward to the future episodes exploring those issues further. Solution? SPOILER ALERT: Plant based-diet 🌱 youtu.be/NQiLly6Z1xs?...

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

I can't stop thinking about how the "Gender Critical" response to hundreds of leading UK biologists signing a letter saying sex isn't binary or immutable is "I can't believe that school kids know more about biology than these biologists". Can you imagine saying that out loud without thinking?! Mad

So true, this whole thread. Human rights are not up for debate, be it trans rights, reproductive rights or other, general polls/referenda shouldn't be the way to settle those issues: the rights of the few shouldn't ever be decided by the uninformed/misinformed majority.

used to be on British TV Sinn Féin were inevitably referred to as ‘the political wing of the IRA.’ remembered that while looking at the new migration stuff and I’m now thinking of the current Labour Party as the political wing of Reform

"Good behavior" will not save you. Obedience will not save you. Meekness will not save you. Staying silent will not save you. Playing it safe will not save you. The only thing that can save us IS us.

In another report from A Mending #ttrpg : there's now two houses, and I have set off, immediately joined by a dog (which is funny since I have incidentally embroidered one outside my home!) 🪡 🧵 @shing.bsky.social this is truly such a wonderful experience 🫶🏻 #amending #embroidery #needlecraft #wip

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Abd. He was studying at the College of Technology before this. Abd is the oldest son and he’s only 23 years old, his father left 5 years ago so he’s responsible for his mother and siblings Mohammed, 20, Majdi, 18, Abdullah, 16 and Rahaf, 16.

I have spent the entirety of my recent flight embroidering tiny houses for A Mending #ttrpg : game about a journey to see a friend you haven't seen for a long time. What a serene and deeply meditative task, and I haven't even started the actual gameplay yet! 💕🪡 #amending #embroidery

"Nearly all public discourse about women’s rights has now been funneled into that bathroom stall, where we must all loudly pretend that a sex-segregated changing room is what generations of feminists fought and died for, rather than a holdover of decidedly Victorian gender norms."

Important thread on the ways that (contrary to those who exceptionalise trans people's difficulties with it) the EHRC is systematically failing to address racism, disability, misogyny and so on. Knowledge of this should spur us to form a joint coalition of human rights defence on all these fronts.

GLP has roared back into action for trans rights since last week - not a moment too soon! Their first fundraiser for a dedicated trans rights legal associate raised £100k in 5 days! Now they're passing the hat to DIRECTLY CHALLENGE FWS. Donate now. I just did. goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

The rights of trans people are inextricably linked to rights of any other group: the society that starts chipping away at the rights of some is, as a result, undermining the rights of all.

The BBC keep doing this. This isn't true. This is straightforwardly wrong in law. The ruling only applied to the Equality Act 2010. Trans women are still legally women for the vast majority of purposes! That's the whole point of the Gender Recognition Act. I've put in a complaint. So can you.
