EUSA has asked us to 'vote' on whether the EUSA president should support the new Trans Student Policy. There's (largely positive) changes made to the policy during the consultation process, but also ways in which the new policy is materially worse for us than the existing policy from 2014.

We called for solidarity when Hungary's govt targeted bookshops over queer stock, & again when feminist bookshops were targeted in the UK, & we relied on solidarity when our own booksellers were harassed into closing: Book lovers must stand together against persecution of ALL book workers!

This breaks my heart, and makes me so angry. I've spent a lot of time at The Educational Bookshop, and it's a true gem. Filled with great books, including what might be the largest selection of Arab/Palestinian queer books I have ever seen. Photos from my visit in August:

The scandal of the 'VIP' (Very Important Pals?) lane; the £billions of our taxpayers' money spent on useless PPE, the failures of the hugely expensive test & trace system, revealed a procurement system wide open to abuse. What has been done since to make it robust? Who has been held to account?

Not seeing many (any?) Scottish members. That's a shame, given how closely Scotland has chosen to tie itself to the UK Government on all things Covid.

The apt comparison here isn't fascism but the 1950s, when billions of federal dollars were spent on highways to suburbs, with house purchases supported by federal mortgage guarantees, and from which queer and black people were excluded - all in the context of McCarthy.

Apparently there is no point where Simons, still the editor of the Jewish Chronicle, will break from Trump and Netanyahu after deciding that the idea of Jewish support for ethnic cleansing is too disgusting to contemplate. This is from the Telegraph.
