Let LGBTQ+ people (young people, particularly) see themselves in stories and feel less alone

So gutted that @netflix cancelled Archive 81. One of my favourite shows on there and I only recently became obsessed with it :( Please change your minds and renew it!!
Any recommendations for anything with similar vibes?

@NataniaBarron @susanjonusas this made me think of you!

If you’re reading about Afghanistan and feeling sick and helpless about the unimaginable situation people there are facing, now would be a good moment to donate to a refugee-supporting charity. I’m putting together some links. Take your pick. Give what your can.

One thing the government could do immediately - provide amnesty to undocumented Afghans in the UK. How many Afghan asylum-seekers were refused on the grounds they could return to Kabul and be safe there? That has been proven false.

Today two kids who couldn’t have been more than fifteen asked me for queer book recs at work and bought four of my handsells because “you had gay shoes so we thought you’d be safe to ask”

@weimingkam Yesss EPIC 😍 such a fun colour!

I think it’s violent to treat someone’s identity as a debate topic. Trans people aren’t up for debate.

stop forcing kids to have relationships with emotionally abusive family members. you’re not teaching them “family first” you’re teaching them regardless of how someone treats them they’re suppose to love them unconditionally and that’s not a good lesson.

It’s interesting how much of the British establishment seems to have a bigger problem with Meghan Markle than Prince Andrew.

If cancel culture is real, then why do I have to hear about joss whedon being a piece of shit annually

[Hannah Maguire @MsHMaguire]

The fact that J*ss Wh*don has always said he deeply relates to Xander and (I believe) has said that Xander is actually based on himself should pretty much tell you all you need to know about this man's character.

[Helen Farebrother @DrFarebro]

Fixed it for you.

Bit late, lads.

Introducing EMPIRES OF DIRT, my new @VICEWorldNews series about the dark side of empire.

In the first episode, I look at how high street banks like Barclays and Lloyds funded slavery, even after its abolition in the UK

@say_shannon Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera (of Puerto Rican heritage) just off the top of my head

"We cannot now try to edit or censor our past. We cannot pretend to have a different history." - Boris Johnson

Fact check: This is just not true. Britain regularly forges British history.

[lex croucher ✨ @lexcroucher]

you're going to see a lot of people complaining about the Black Lives Matter protests today, so just a quick reminder that these protests are for -fundamental human rights- as opposed to all these people, who just fancied a day at the beach (Durdle Door, Bournemouth, Southend)

JK ROWLING: okay so this magical hat assigns you into a category that determines your whole childhood, but if you don’t think it’s right you can ignore it and pick your own. you gotta be really brave to do that tho
ALSO JK ROWLING: I don’t know about this transgender business
