reform voters haven’t even read the manifesto, they’ve blindly voted based on bigoted views thinking reform will remove immigrants to “protect women and girls”

NO mention of protecting us in their manifesto:

but, 1 in 5 reform MPS has been to prison for violence against women

[Älva 🦇 @Alva_Ghoul]

Funny how us who are voting against Reform can state more Reform policies spanning across all areas of the countries interest, as apposed to most who are actually voting for them who can name…….. one. And you know the one I mean.

[Josh @JoshAlexCairo]

The UK public celebrates a genuine national treasure on his centenary, which coincides with a landslide of council votes for a political party that rejects net zero, wants to defund the institutions that Attenborough's life has enriched, and doesn't care about nature. Go figure.

[liam @sasukesugu]

reform wanting to demolish something literally called the EQUALITY act should really tell you all you need to know

[cass @tierneyfilms]

has anyone stopped thinking about frankenstein? bc frankly i cannot.

[CHRISSY @ChristinaSVO]

Everyone should be supportive of strikes. They were never made to be comfortable. Disruption and inconvenience is the game.

The reason why we have ALOT of the current legislation etc is due to strike action! We should support others wanting better pay and terms for themselves.

[anj @___anjola]

it’s not even drivers that are striking funnily enough, and it’s not just about pay too, it’s about working conditions, job security, and tfl’s refusal to make good on what they promised previously, but the media is on a mission to crucify tfl workers by any means necessary LOL

Do yall see how every single person you know irl is totally happy and fine using ai and you sit there feeling like a weird woke chronically online freak for feeling differently because you literally read about how it’s using up the water and killing people and animals

[Thomas Willett @ThomasWillett9]

Let’s be clear: this is a revival of Section 28.
Transgender people exist; no legislation can erase that reality. It didn’t work before, & it only inflicted lasting harm on a generation of LGB people.
This guidance is grotesquely transphobic & driven entirely by baseless ideology

[Michael Moran | APC Injury @internetuserf12]

The most ableist thing we’ve done since the pandemic began wasn’t ignoring disabled people-it was briefly including them, showing access was always possible, and then ripping it all away.

We didn’t just abandon them. We took what little they had and took it and more away.

“People have been able to self identify as trans in Ireland since 2015. Since then there have been no recorded incidents of assault by trans women in single sex spaces in Ireland”

Disabled people are not a burden. They are our neighbours and friends — and they deserve to live fulfilling lives just like anyone else.

Hi, I'm Rosie, one of the digitisers at the NHM.
I have worked with a huge amount of botanical specimens, having also worked on the Kew digitisation team, but I also have a soft spot for moths.

[Egypt Museum @egyptomuseum]

"This book explores disability across time and space―from ‘ancient Egypt’ as a culture to Egyptology as a contemporary field―to go beyond simply identifying disability, encouraging readers to thoughtfully consider the history of disabled people in ancient Egypt and Egyptology.

Through a critical investigation, this volume reshapes often-overlooked narratives of disability within the discipline of Egyptology and Egyptian Archaeology. Chapters explore evidence of disability, the historiographical ways in which disability has been approached, and how disability histories are (mis)represented in various contemporary spaces.

Coverage stretches across Egypt and Nubia from the Predynastic to the Roman periods, as well as receptions of these cultures and disability in museums. Its editors and many of its authors are disability community members who are experts in their respective professions, comprising an international authorship and including voices from typically underrepresented groups.

The first-book length treatment of the subject, Disability in Ancient Egypt and Egyptology provides a much-needed resource for students and scholars of ancient Egypt, Egyptology, and disability in the ancient world. It is also suitable for researchers in Disability Studies, practitioners in broader ancient world studies, and museum and heritage professionals."
