Not In Our Name - Feminist Academics and Educators Speak Out Against the Supreme Court Ruling If you are a feminist academic or work in education please consider adding your name - link to sign in the letter below. t.co/cDSQlqqroH?s...

The Israeli authorities have illegally banned all aid and goods into Gaza for two months. This constitutes a genocidal act, a blatant form of unlawful collective punishment, and the war crime of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.

Lots of very high profile UK biologists sign a letter saying that biological sex isn't binary or immutable and that the Supreme Court's ruling is scientifically wrong! We really need to hammer home how the anti-trans side is anti-science (you can add your name still if you are in a relevant field)

👏👏👏

PCS, one of the biggest unions in the UK, has says the hateful EHRC guidance is "clearly not fit for purpose and is damaging in its advice and will be impossible to implement" www.pcs.org.uk/news-events/...

Are there any medics, bioscientists or healthcare people interested in contributing to a letter to the Equalities Minister? If you are, please get in touch with @ciannwn.bsky.social

@notrightruth.bsky.social Hey look, you got a mention in one of my students zine - assessment for my queer media course! See red prostatic on left ✊🏼 x

@saranahmed.bsky.social As wonderful as ever 👌

Spent this morning marking for my UG class on queer and the media. The assessment format was a zine. Such fantastic work. The kids are more than alright! Here’s the cover of one that is particularly timely.

My paper is now published with Open Access in @Gender_Journal “Hands towards the right: UK gender critical feminism and right-wing coalitions” url6649.tandfonline.com/ls/click?upn...

Repost this and spread the word.👇

Wrap up warm folks

A very cool thing happened this week. A group of people in the Gender Research Network at Sheffield got together to talk about the Feminist Killjoy Handbook and @saranahmed.bsky.social joined us online. What a wonderful discussion. Thanks @sallyhines.bsky.social for facilitating this space.

So much killjoy solidarity! Thanks to you and to @sallyhines.bsky.social and to the whole gender research network 💜💜

Wes Sterling’s decision about puberty blockers is wrong. It is based on the widely discredited Cass Report and is a philosophical not a medical judgement. It is also nonsensical since the same drug will continue to be prescribed for young cis people.

Wonderful to talk with the amazing Sara Ahmed today about how we survive and thrive as feminist killjoys for our Gender Network reading group.

The Israeli spokesperson on Ch 4 News is an absolute snake

40 years ago: Pits and Perverts was a fundraiser for Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. The Bronski Beat gig raised £5000. It helped build relationships between Unions and #LGBTQ communities, united by the common enemy of Thatcher’s Government, leading to Union support for pro-gay policies.

If the footage of the horrors of the Syrian prisons don’t show why people become refugees and need support and care then nothing will.

When talking about potential ‘dangers’ of developments around #Syria can someone remind commentators and politicians that Reform are leading in the UK polls and Trump has been elected in the US. #Imperialism

Astonishing filming from the Syrian prisons. Joyous and heart breaking in equal measure

I’m not a Syrian refugee anymore. I’m Syrian. Just Syrian.

The it’s all going to go wrong conversations about #Syria stink of imperialism

An incredible video of the opening up of women’s prisons in #Syria
