You need to understand how vindictive you need to be to strip search a child over weed. This whole city stinks of weed. I live in a middle class suburb and the middle class kids smoke it at the bus stop. In the park. On the pavement. Wherever they like. Freely

A Prime Minister who has consistently and stubbornly gotten nearly everything wrong - even if they eventually listen to dissenters & compromise - is still someone with terrible judgement. It should be obvious how wrong the Labour cabinet are about trans people because they are awful on most issues.

Its worth noting that in Britain, Mamdani would have thrown out of the Labour Party by a small room full LinkIn weirdos and then replaced by a former private healthcare lobbyist who would go on to lose by 5,000 votes to a Reform candidate who was a convinced sex offender.

Teaching LGBT rights in law school is an emotional exercise. In a recent paper I published with @flsjournal.bsky.social, I explore how emotions function as a type of grammar that thread the personal, political, scholarly, and pedagogic dimensions of LGBT rights. 🌈🎓 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I cannot emphasize enough how needlessly cruel the UK immigration system is to ordinary people who want a family life together and aren't well-off already, and anyone wanting to make it worse should be shunned.

So is Rowling going to threaten to sue Fry like she did Rivka Brown and that tiny educational non-profit when the last two said stuff about her she didn’t like? Or is he too SLAPP-proof for the transphobic plutocrat to bother?

We’ve had something up our sleeve for a wee while and we’re sorry it has taken a while to get this info out; there has been quite a bit of planning and paperwork involved. But now, the cat is out of the bag. We’re doing Pride in Edinburgh differently this year and we can't wait for you to join us.

It's notable that the only student speech frequently shut down on university campuses is a) pro-Palestine b) pro-trans-rights. The OfS seems *deeply* unconcerned about that speech being limited. In fact, they want academics who oppose those positions to have the right to 'shock and offend' students.
