How on earth can you be one of the horrible little people who run this country and not be expected to actually own any valid ID?

[Emory Southwick @ba_southwick]

If you're doomscrolling through the trending tag #TruthIsNotAHateCrime then take a moment to stop and remember that trans rights are human rights and we will not be stopped from existing by bigots

[Emory Southwick @ba_southwick]

I'm slowly recovering from this amazing weekend with @CoMA_NewMusic
I've never met so many lovely and enthusiastic musicians. I love this community I've been welcomed into so much

[Transport for All @TransportForAll]

💻 23% disabled people are internet non-users so can’t book online.

🎫 Ticket machines are inaccessible.

🧑‍🦯 Staff provide assistance: if not in ticket office how will we find them?

🚫If ticket offices close, there’s nothing to stop train operators from removing staff entirely!

I had such a good time graduating on Friday. Can't wait to move on to Newcastle and my Master's

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

Transphobia is increasing. Workers expressed concerns that anti-trans views in the media are filtering down into anti-LGBT+ behaviours in workplaces.

Inclusive policies essential, but they are seen as not enough – employers should foster an inclusive culture.

[CoMA @CoMA_NewMusic]

30 years ago in 1993 CoMA came into existence! In this clip founder Chris Shurety shares the reason behind its conception.

@joanna_mward Oh me too! I thought it might be a bit like Hay Festival lol

[Emory Southwick @ba_southwick]

@Opera_North Thank you so much!

[Emory Southwick @ba_southwick]

@Opera_North Thanks! Is there any possibility of changing the wording in the opportunity to make this more clear please? Would be very interested in applying but I don't identify with 'female'

[Emory Southwick @ba_southwick]

I've been having a great time working here so far with these wonderful people!

[CoMA @CoMA_NewMusic]

Finally, some faces to the names you've seen floating around on our socials and newsletters! A quick picture of the team after a full day discussing all things past, present and future CoMA.

Please help me spread the word about my new book. I’m very happy to post copies directly to anyone who would like one, or you can order directly from Compton Publishing. Do share with anyone who might be interested - it’s £10! Thank you! xx

Increase your word power by reading the PNG correspondent!.... Also increase your store of joy, and feed your fury...

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is where the anti-trans hysteria - whipped up by the media and politicians - leads to.

[Emory Southwick @ba_southwick]

Excited to be heading to @NclUniMusic next year for my MLitt to look at the intersections between music, disability, and transness! Can't wait to start this new chapter!

[Emory Southwick @ba_southwick]

Alongside being a musician I'm also an artist and my new badges arrived in the post! Check out the link in my bio

[Joe Glass🏳️‍🌈 @JosephGlass]

As I always showed in The Pride, women come in all shapes and sizes, and to suggest that women only look a certain way is not “feminism”

Anyway, enjoy this artwork of the gorgeous and powerful Queen Sapphire from The Pride by @carlospedroart

[Emory Southwick @ba_southwick]

This could mean that I lose access to the healthcare I need to live. This is not the start of queer people losing their rights, but the beginning. Once trans rights go, marriage equality will not be far behind. Support your trans friends

[Emory Southwick @ba_southwick]

Please, if there's one thing you do today, let it be sign this petition. I will have no protection from the Equality Act if this change goes through.
