This is Britain 2023. This is energy companies feasting on people who’ve worked all of their lives to see themselves through retirement. This is the complete and utter failure to act like a society and take care of our elders. Corporate greed is - literally - killing us.

[Dr Sally Witcher @SalWitcher]

Trying to reach anyone who might be interested in a fully funded opportunity to do a Phd at University of Glasgow on Personal Assistance for Disabled People. Do you know anyone? Thanks for any help you can give. Deadline 13/4. More info in link or DM me. https://t.co/lOvgFeT5LP

i don’t know how to effectively convey to cis people that the anti-trans movement is a fascist one that is advancing terrifyingly fast and that its aims and impacts will not be limited to trans people

[London Renters Union @LDNRentersUnion]

The Ombudsman's report confirms what we already knew to be true.

Racism is rife at every level of our housing system.

Migrants, Black, and Brown people are forced to pay the price with their safety.

We must build renter power to end racism in housing.

@RobbieTravers @mattxiv @AnaKasparian This is flatly untrue. All women in the UK are sent cervical screening appointments based on their CHI number. If anything, not using anatomical language is lethal to people who don't identify as women, but still need cervical screening.

[Public Appointments @scotpublicappts]

Scottish Ministers are looking to appoint a new Chair to the Board of the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission.

For more information and to apply, please see https://t.co/L2JhNOj7uY

[Equality Australia 🌈 @EqualityAu]

We condemn in the strongest terms the transphobic displays and hate speech which took place outside the Victorian Parliament today.

These actions should be a clarion call to ensure transphobia does not take hold in our public and political discourse.

[The Lesbian Project BU @lesbian_project]

The BU Lesbian Project produces & platforms empirically rigorous, historically accurate, and trans- inclusive research about lesbian lives. If that’s the kind of Lesbian Project you want people to hear from, welcome, we’d love your follow/like/RT/QTs! 🏳️‍⚧️ 💜 🏳️‍🌈

[First Minister @ScotGovFM]

In a visit to @UofGlasgow, First Minister @NicolaSturgeon announced @ScotGov's commitment to support the new Emma Ritch Law Clinic.

The clinic will research the difference trauma-informed legal advice and representation can make to victims of gender based violence.

[Michael Chessum @michael_chessum]

In 2011, Jeremy Clarkson called for striking workers to be "shot in front of their families". He continued to present Top Gear for another four years.

After criticising plans to criminalise asylum seekers, Gary Linekar has lasted three days.

[Lucy Brisbane McKay @lucybrisbane]

I hate to give these attention seeking women any of mine, but just have to say:
- I’m a ‘younger’ woman
- I’m a lesbian (and also queer)
- I’m not in crisis or invisible
- my rights & identify are not threatened by trans people
- women like this put me off lesbian identity

“And why does it bother you”.

More and more of this I’m-just-asking-the-question from mainstream news outlets, perpetually expanding the boundary of acceptable discourse ever further rightward as we continue to sleepwalk into fascism.

@sociabilityapp 2/2 similar to not keeping disabled toilets locked - I'd much rather every disabled person who needs it can easily access it than people who don't need to use it be kept out. In my experience most people don't want to use facilities for disabled people if they don't need to!

[Nathaniel Gale @NathanielGale]

@sociabilityapp I don't support it. The barrier presented by having to 'prove' you're disabled is a much bigger issue than the potential for a minority of people getting accessible tickets when they don't need them IMO. 1/2

[Francesco Dimitri @fdimitri]

I may be going to lose friends over this, but here we go: the Roald Dhal thing is horrendous. It is a cynical marketing operation aimed at keeping the Dhal brand commercially viable. It has nothing to do with protecting the vulnerable. Quite the opposite in fact (thread).
