“They aim to create suspicion and fear and to convince the people that liberal democracy, with its respect for individual human rights, is a less attractive political option than majoritarianism and authoritarian rule” https://theferret.scot/orban-conservative-think-tank-scotlands-culture-war/

When Kemi Badenoch defends racism, or Wes Streeting defends transphobia, we are reminded that while it is *necessary* for oppressed minorities to see themselves represented in politics, it is not *sufficient*. We have let representation become camouflage for oppression, rather than challenge to it.

This is the best legacy I could hope for to honour my mum’s name. Exciting new areas of dementia research like this give so much hope for the future.

Oh no it’s “disparaging comments about a screenshot of the Grindr grid in your hometown” season for the gays. Comes round quicker every year!

(For the most part) People who fought for gay rights in the 1980s/90s fight for trans rights now. Gay men who distanced themselves from gay rights activists in the 80s/90s (they told us we were too camp/too political etc.) oppose trans rights. If you fought for gay rights you see the connections. 💜

A great letter from colleagues at Nottingham in support of the programmes in #Lampeter. Wonderful to see the reference to the value of the Alister Hardy Religious Experience Research Centre.

So proud of this beautiful film. The director really got to know our family and cared about how our story was presented, and it shows. Such a deserving win for her and the whole team 🍾 #griersonawards

Please consider signing this petition to save undergraduate education at Lampeter, Wales’s oldest university. Lampeter plays a vital role in the town’s economy and cultural life—closing it would be an act of cultural vandalism #uwtsd #lampeter www.change.org/p/save-under...
