One of the great heartbreaks of being in the disability community is how often we lose people and how many of our most powerful voices have gone silent. We must live our lives loudly and joyously in their honor and remember that our very existence is resistance.
Oh no I just heard we lost Alice. This is terribly sad. She was an incredible, talented, powerful voice of the disability community. She stood strong for herself and for all of us. She will be missed immensely.
‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

I once tweeted that the weather was grim in London and got replies saying I should “go home” then. This is who Shabana is trying to appease
Every Shabana tweet is engulfed with replies telling her she’s going next etc etc
The far right aren’t bothered about the finer points of asylum rules they simply want NO people of colour to be in their field of vision at any time, and Shabana that means you. Trying to capitulate like this achieves NOTHING other than contributing more to the climate of hate.

The "answer" to the pressure on the SEND system does involve better funding, better training and better systems. It does not, and must not, involve making it harder for children to access support.

No-one should be allowed to make political decisions unless they’ve worked in front line customer service or social care for at least two years as their sole source of income
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I remember chatting to my dad about Corbyn, and he said that I shouldn't believe everything I hear from progressives, that politicians don't deliver what they promise. And I said that if they all don't deliver what they promise why shouldn't I vote for the guy who's at least lying in my direction
The important thing to remember about smug patronising headlines like this is that they aren't aimed at the "kids" they're theoretically addressing. They're aimed at their parents. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

What Streeting did to trans people, he'd do to every other marginalised, disenfranchised & down on their luck group in Britain.
I keep going back to Judith Butler: ‘If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot in the context of Expedition 33, because imo it both has and hasn’t done that. It relies heavily on the emotional impact of the time you spend with those characters, but doesn’t seem to fully understand the results.
I don’t fw any narrative game that hasn’t thought deeply about what the player DOES and why it matters that they do it with their own hands

Banning VPNs not only compromises privacy, but it compromises safety. Being forced to use public wifi when travelling without the option of a VPN to make that safe will just lead to compromised computers. All in pursuit of the so-called "Online Safety Act", which achieves the opposite of safety.
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.
The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

The hotel was The Crown, so don’t pay anything you get in email / call up and confirm with the hotel that it’s real first
A little warning to those attending @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in Harrogate this weekend - I received a scam email about my hotel booking (which included correct dates and costs) asking for an advance payment. It was from the hotel but an online scam.

There are going to be A LOT of misleading, vaguely-worded headlines — particularly from non-music publications — in the near future trying to drum up hysteria about the AI Music Takeover. Please try to not take them at their word. We're still a long way off from this actually being a thing.
I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:
1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people
2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

Apparently attacking Starmer for finally doing something he should have done 17 months ago is counterproductive because we* want him to win our votes back
*we doesn’t include me because I have never (and will never) vote for him

Even so, attacking him for doing what we want is counterproductive.
You realise we do actually want him to try and win our votes back, don’t you?

My nephews and nieces are like “yeah we have a non-binary kid and a trans girl in our class” no big deal. Mainstream transphobia from media and politicians is driving hate
Locking phones up in school - the time when children are already LEAST likely to be on them - will do NOTHING to stop bullying, poor mental health, isolation, or radicalisation!
It will also have ZERO impact on the rabid transphobia that’s perpetuated through the mainstream media & politics! 😖

Yup. The people shoveling money to hit trans people don’t just narrowly hate trans people, it’s part of a much wider strategy to make society regress to a stronger caste and oligarchic system, heavily beneficial to white cis men.
Their wins against trans people set precedent to much worse to come.

This is how transphobia's right wing fuckery blew open basic respect in the UK, there is absolutely no reason to expect now that being "women critical" is not also a protected belief, if you truly do not believe that women should just be reproductive slaves for cis men.
This will be used to abuse.
