Have you been an inpatient, because of #PulmonaryHypertension, during the last 6 months?
If so, you could take part in a new study into hope in hospital. Find out more and get involved here: https://t.co/7qWpNELIB1

Happy #InternationalAsexualityDay! 🖤🤍💜

Today we're proud to launch the #AceProject, a new research initiative to better understand the experiences of asexual (ace) people in the UK.

In partnership with ace activist @theyasminbenoit & @PinkNews ⬇️

Normally, if a ball was *this* flat, it'd probably be thrown away. Today, it'll be thrown around a town then up against a millstone.

That's right, it's Shrovetide football time. Turn-up is in 30 mins; follow all the action via @ShrovetideLive.

@RyanHendry94 Recommend Sisu mouthguards personally, as they’re thinner and I’ve found them less intrusive? https://t.co/G5zIn3ge8F

Also would trying to get used to it when not doing the sport help?

If the sport’s quidditch they could speak to their NGB and ask about an exemption?

[ST MUNGO FESTIVAL @stmungofestival]

@BrexitBuster @TCHL Have seen, which makes it doubly disgusting, especially for the students his attendance was hidden from until the formal.

[Rachel Sales @RachelSales55]

Tim Luckhurst, resign. Beyond inappropriate choice of guest for a Christmas formal and one that shows @TCHL values his old mates over the students in the college he heads up. Solidarity with everyone protesting.

[Palatinate @PalatinateUK]

Columnist Rod Liddle’s comments about colonialism, single mothers and trans issues, prompted student outcry.

[caitlin (taylor’s version) @c8lincharlotte]

As a university you need to take action and show intolerance for discriminatory views. Understand how hard it is to hear such abusive and horrific language in a place that is meant to be safe and welcoming. Durham, be accountable, stand with your mottos and students’ rights.

[caitlin (taylor’s version) @c8lincharlotte]

@durham_uni @South_CollegeDU Be accountable. South’s motto is “freedom, equality and global citizenship” - don’t be performative, BE ACTIVE. You cannot give one voice (a voice of inequality) freedom and allow no other to speech freely for their desire and right for equality.

[caitlin (taylor’s version) @c8lincharlotte]

Students are under no obligation to listen to such horrific language, hence their right to protest (A11). Just as this person has freedom of speech, students have freedom of speech to speak out on how hurtful and unacceptable it was to invite that language into the university.

[caitlin (taylor’s version) @c8lincharlotte]

in case you don’t believe me, it says “The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society”

[caitlin (taylor’s version) @c8lincharlotte]

Students walked out because they refuse to be associated with homophobic, transphobic and other discriminatory comments. Yes you have freedom of speech BUT under the HRA A10, s2, you have a DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to use it correctly or will otherwise be limited

[Rachel Sales @RachelSales55]

I very much agree with what @KissackPeter says in this thread. Do better, South. Do better, Durham.

[Rachel Sales @RachelSales55]

As a Durham alumnus, the university and organisations within it need to take a long hard look at who gets invited to events. Marginalised students are far more important than reactionary speakers who deny their humanity.

@ek_weeks Second the Chalet School and the Dark is Rising sequence. The Chalet School fandom still has its own separate forum (The CBB) and fic sites (Sally Denny Library, Lime Green Musings (more interactive)) as well as anything you’ll find on AO3.

@brock_mcgillis Hah no, they’re both me! This is my academic account, the other one is my personal.
