I don't know how many people understand that disabled people are looking at losing £450 a month, every month, potentially for life. Money that pays for the help, aids, and adjustments that they need to exist in the world. There are disabled people who wouldn't survive these cuts.

The NHS recently announced it will open specialist mental health centres as an alternative to A&E. But patients don’t always present with cases that fall neatly into “mental” or “physical” boxes, says @jamesldowns.bsky.social, and this risks reinforcing the divide www.bmj.com/content/389/...

Today is the anniversary of Alan Turing’s suicide, in 1954. Turing was the father of modern computing. His codebreaking helped the Allies to win WWII. Arrested for being gay, he chose chemical castration over a prison sentence. He lost his security clearance, as all homosexuals were deemed a risk.

It's hard to celebrate when someone like Elon Musk waltzes into the federal government, wrecks the place, and walks away seemingly with everything he wanted. But did he, though? In the end, Musk left defeated, humiliated, and widely despised. That’s no small thing. We should take the win.

This is absolutely shameful. Harvey Milk was a hero. He died for our community. Brave LGBTQ veterans worked for years to achieve the naming of a ship for Harvey. Now they’re wiping it away due to straight up bigotry. They’re determined to erase LGBTQ people from all aspects of public life.
