As a woman, I’m literally BEGGING you to STOP “protecting” me from trans people. I don’t need this shit. My rights aren’t being stolen because trans people have rights too. Stop using women as a fucking human shield for your bigotry. We are not your moral cover. Fucking spare me!

I asked the programmer if
AI might kill off humanity
and she said: don’t worry
climate change will kill us first.

So I asked the climatologist if
we’ll pass the 1.5° threshold
and he said: don’t worry
AI will kill us first.

So I asked the historian
and she just said: worry.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

With that in mind, I wanted to remind you of this video produced by Norwich City; it remains one of the most profound things I've ever seen produced on the subject.

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea.
Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.
Any person or organisation questioning their actions or loyalty to this country should be corrected and ostracised.
Anyone can drown, but no one should.

Workers across two unions coordinated strike action across several East London V&A sites last weekend.

Demands include action on a number of health and safety issues, including access to water, which is particularly dangerous in times of extreme heat and to those with certain medical conditions.

Among the cross-union's demands is also for the V&A to become a real living wage accredited employer.
