90% of Deaf children are born to hearing parents. Many of whom won't be able to afford BSL lessons. More BSL provision required at school and for adults too #extraordinaryteens
@itsjacksonbbz I don't really use this account any more so sorry for the delay but CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I hope you're feeling good and make a quick recovery. What brilliant news!!

I'm still stewing about the "I really feel for the boys" comment. If they make the bare minimum effort to scratch the surface they'll see that seeing memes about white men doesn't even nearly compare to what others go through and have been through since forever
Minor *WAS RAPED.
Fucking really with this shit? The linguistic gymnastics that the media will co-opt or create just to avoid printing what men are doing to women and girls - that is, raping and abusing us with virtually zero consequences - never ceases to amaze.
@Miss_Peg Reminds me of the woman on the train in the wrong seat whose defense was 'I've been in this seat since Birmingham'. Well you've been wrong since Birmingham then, you don't get a pass for the length of time you've been wrong
A colleague explained how much she "really feels for the boys". I do not feel for them at ALL. Cis straight white boys need to learn to de-centre themselves. I'm not crying about the #notallmen kids too selfish to consider why movements for equality are needed
I get that any movement for equality has to try to bring everyone along. But I'm not up for pandering to boys who think fairness for others is an attack on them.
You feel picked on? How do you think marginalised people feel? Get over yourself for a sec and see the bigger picture

@BechdelCast Hi icons! Jamie I loved the show and hope your fringe run is going awesome, Caitlin I understand you'll be joining the Brits soon!
I'd love to give you both a warm feminist icon welcome to Edinburgh. Let me know if you're free for a drink? 🍻 ☕
Maybe the commandment to not use the Lord’s name in vain is more about not using God’s name to camouflage our own biases and hatred and small mindedness by saying it's "God's will".

On the morning of August 7, 1995, 24 year-old Tyra Hunter was on her way to work as a passenger in a friend's car when it collided at an intersection. She and her friend were pulled from the wreckage, and paramedics were called. (thread)
I want a fucking ramp. I want elevators. I want wide doorways. I want accessible toilets that aren’t storage cupboards. I want to get on a train, and go to a place all by myself. I don’t want to ask permission. I don’t want to be grateful for every reasonable adjustment.
