Oh wow I’ve just seen my mentions and this has blown up. thanks everyone. It’s such a huge privilege to get to talk about these topics on @thismorning ❤️🙏
Recently, out of the blue I got a call from @DKMS_uk - the charity that helps people with blood cancer. I'd forgotten that 5yrs ago I did a cheek swab... but the call was to say I was a possible match for someone in urgent need of stem cell or bone marrow transplant.
It's a chance to help someone survive who wouldn't otherwise. Unfortunately, having just been through the next stage, I've been ruled out of donating.
So to turn that into a positive, I wanted to suggest if you fancy registering to be a donor, if age 18 - 55 you can do it here... https://t.co/WOEAyPoQqu - and hopefully one of you may be the match that actually saves a life.
Today on #InternationalLesbianDay we draw attention to lesbian mothers in Italy whose rights are under attack. We call on the Italian government to withdraw new measures that annul the birth certs of the children of same-sex parents.
This Wednesday we will be standing with the community against Suella Braverman’s put of touch comments about LGBTQ+ refugees seeking safety. We stand with all folks in our community and want to reaffirm everyone’s welcome, particularly those escaping persecution.
PLS RT: Saturday 16th September at midday we have the centerpiece of the whole weekend - our lovely Trans Pride Cardiff march! We will be announcing the meeting point and route very soon, including a shorter route for disabled folks!

Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator
