I’m not being dramatic this is the best day of my life

🏳️‍🌈 "We are finally starting to fill the picture that is LGBTQIA+ representation in journalism, but there is a long way to go until all the shades of the rainbow are visible." www.wearequeeraf.com/queer-journa...

Had the absolute pleasure of talking to Clara Amfo for @bigissue.com about the BAFTAs, accessibility in the arts, and her favourite films of this year ✨ www.bigissue.com/culture/film...

“Britain has a rich tapestry of history across race, gender, class, sexuality, all of that, and there are so many exciting people willing to tell these stories.” Read BAFTA red carpet host Clara Amfo’s exclusive interview with Big Issue. ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3QgH27Q

so proud to amplify this campaign to hold landlords to account for mouldy, damp and unsafe housing - students pay a fortune for accommodation and they deserve for it to be safe

This is huge. My petition got approved. It challenges the UK government to the lift the Puberty Blocker ban on the grounds that it contradicts article 8 of The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child. Please sign and Repost ✊️🏳️‍⚧️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

This is infuriating. If the government want an easy win for growth and to support pubs, they should change the licensing laws to make noise complaints much harder. www.the-londoner.co.uk/noise-compla...

Lord of the rings fans! I watched all the films for the first time ever last month and now I want to read the books - my question is do I start with the hobbit or dive straight into fellowship of the ring? #LOTR

At least five people will become trillionaires within the next decade as billionaire wealth surges to “shocking” levels, says poverty charity Oxfam. 💬 Oxfam found that billionaire wealth grew 3x faster in 2024 than in the year before. @emilychudy.bsky.social‬ reports. ⬇️ https://bit.ly/4hlgZrE

Use your excitement and relief to help a Palestinian in Gaza today - share their fundraisers, donate, use this energy to help them survive. They have a long road ahead.

“For Palestinians who have lost countless loved ones; in many cases had their entire families wiped out or seen their homes reduced to rubble, an end to the fighting does not begin to repair their shattered lives or heal their trauma.” @amnesty.org www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

I don't even use my library as much as I could and I saved around £40 on books last year by borrowing them - libraries are so underrated, use them!

Hi pals. Today I wrote about the unsettling mismatches between what climate models say should be happening and what is actually happening. We're pushing the Earth past the limits of our physical understanding. This is a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

It is generally difficult to communicate the malice and cruelty of transphobes without sounding like you're making it up. They know that what they're doing is inflicting terrible harm on people with no ability to protect themselves or strike back. That is the pleasure and the joy of it, for them.

visiting taiwan to see my wife’s family and took maybe the best photo i’ve ever taken (halfway up elephant mountain)

🎄The holiday season can be hard for LGBTQIA+ people Here are some topline tips to help out! 👇

genuinely think there should be some sort of rule whereby anyone moving to a place near an already existing pub/bar/club is not allowed to complain formally about it, you should have to prove that you were living there before the late night establishment opened if you want to whinge to the council

the common press is one of my favourite places, and it only has 3 days left to fundraise to stay open - if you have any spare cash this christmas please consider donating to a wonderful LGBTQIA+ space! @thecommonpress.bsky.social www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-the-c...

Had the absolute pleasure of talking to drag icon Le Gateau Chocolat for @bigissue.com - I also saw the show on Friday and Gateau was so accurate in calling it a moment of "pure joy" ✨

If you do one thing today, use our template letter to write to your local MP to express your concerns with the puberty blocker ban. Young trans kids deserve to have their healthcare rights upheld.

‼️ there is an emergency occupation of Wes Streeting’s office taking place this evening in response to the puberty blocker ban being made permanent. If you can, go up there to stay overnight. Bring supplies, pass on the message‼️ maps.app.goo.gl/qwnrfHu7BP2Q...

this is so cruel, especially considering cis kids will still have access to puberty blockers - just shameless transphobia from the government here www.gov.uk/government/n...

NEW: Trans people across the country are having their HRT prescriptions refused or withdrawn by GPs - sometimes years after starting the treatment www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024...
