To realise how many of the social initiatives mentioned in this book have faltered or folded since time of writing is distressing. This only drives home more forcefully how important the book’s message is in hostile times. Radical Intimacy, Sophie K Rosa, 2023 @plutopress.bsky.social

Yesterday was an interesting 1st day of UNISON’s Women’s Conference. The anti-trans protesters came. And left pretty soon afterwards. Then in conference, women members voted unopposed to support trans inclusion, reinforcing their commitment to embracing trans women. UNISON Women say no to hate! 🏳️‍⚧️

I've voted for @matildaf.bsky.social for LGBT+ rep, and this is a great post on how she'll bring her knowledge and experience of casualisation to the role.

Corporations celebrating pride, institutions adding pronouns to signatures, diversity statements on job applications: these things didn’t ever feel particularly liberating. But institutions and corporations rushing to remove them feels a lot worse than if they hadn’t been there in the first place 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Just had a swift, efficient hospital appointment, which as normal cost nothing at all outside of public transport to get there. For all the waiting times and strain, thanks to massive underfunding and abusive management practices, I remain deeply grateful for our NHS.

an important report on precarity in UK geography departments: “Whilst we cannot take full responsibility for the endemic structural problems within UK Higher Education, nor can we cede responsibility for caring about our colleagues.” blog.geographydirections.com/2025/01/13/r... @rgsibg.bsky.social

I don't know how many times I have to explain that it's not about pronouns (tho you should just call ppl what they want to be called). It is about the right to public existence, the benefits of the commons, gender affirming healthcare, and freedom from violence

I’ve just withdrawn from my panel at the OLF. Joyce is an absolutely chilling character: on record as saying that ‘every one of those [trans] people is a huge problem to a sane world'

Tucked into the Cass Report, deep in the appendices, you'll find that they reviewed thousands of patient records and found no one who'd been harmed by puberty blockers and fewer than 10 detransitions.

This is awful! One of the plans is to divert water from the protected River Mease to the unprotected River Trent. The Trent has seen significant ecological recovery in the past fifty years, after once being one of the most polluted rivers in the UK. It would be terrible to lose this.
