#OtD 28 Mar 1915 anarchist Emma Goldman delivered a lecture in NYC on family planning, despite having previously been arrested for doing so. Although she gave explicit information on birth control and police were present, she wasn't arrested this time stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1...

William Morris was born on this day in 1834. ⁠ ⁠ Morris was one of the principal figures of the British arts and crafts movement. These beautiful pen and ink drawings with watercolour were made by him around 1867.⁠

Good morning. This was in the Observer yesterday.

CW: suicide, premature death, ableism I drafted this comic the day after the government here in the UK announced drastic cuts to disability benefits. If you are able to, please take the time to sign the petitions by Sense or Scope, or write to your MP. There are signs that the pressure is working.

The family of comic creator RE Burke, aka Becky Burke, have issued a detailed statement about her recent detention nightmare in the United States, asking for it to be shared

"Tens of thousands of Britons are set to lose almost two-thirds of their income as a result of welfare cuts announced by Sir Keir Starmer’s government." on.ft.com/4iwx5zM

Ok does this sound familiar... in 1998 just after winning an election with a huge majority Labour produced a Green Paper on welfare reform. Tony Blair tasked its author Frank Field with "thinking the unthinkable" and abandoning some of the founding principles of the welfare state... 🧵

Another deeply troubling attack on LGBT rights in Hungary, masquerading as the protection of so-called traditional values. The right to peaceful assembly is a cornerstone of any free society, and its suppression is an attack on fundamental human rights. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

This is the Peer whose report informed the decision by the health secretary, and beneficiary of private healthcare 'donations', Wes Streeting to abolish NHS England. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

£232m 'procured'by Michelle Mone £21Bn handed to covid fraudsters £37Bn 'lost' on Test and Trace £8.7Bn duff PPE £471m paid to destroy PPE not needed/in storage too long But let's go after the poorest in society. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Good morning. There was a moment during the pandemic, amidst fear & grief, that felt as if we were rethinking what was of value. We now have a Labour govt who are punishing those most in need, threatening PIP and other benefits. It’s horrifying to do this at the expense of disabled people’s lives.

We’re concerned about the welfare of R.E. Burke, a British comic artist detained by ICE while travelling through North America. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Staggering to hear Jo White, MP for Bassetlaw, say people are out of work because their "aspirations are so low". Most people not in the "productive economy" are disabled, chronically ill, or they're carers. Good luck picking up those care, needs, Government, if you want all the carers back at work

Why Is Bisexuality Still Being Erased?

Deeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. Please read her father's statement here: www.facebook.com/paulrburke

Good morning Apotropaic charms to protect us, cast in pewter on my AA2A residency at BNU. Small intersectional tree of knowledge and larger genderqueer deity. I only wish that I could guarantee the protection.

Behold! Postcard from my collection, no date.
