Just discovered #ShamelessSelfpromoThursday! So here's my collection of stories, Uncertain Terms. It's about uncomfortable, isolated people in the last century. The humour's dry.
It's had good reviews. A bargain at only £3!
You'll find it here: www.amazon.co.uk/Uncertain-Te...

Funny how folks like to say that humanities degrees are “useless” while the world is being actively destroyed by people not knowing about history, ethics, media literacy, or how to think critically. But sure, tell me again how STEM alone will save us.

One of the amazing speeches yesterday was by Diana, a woman who has had her GRC for 20 years. One fact she shared is that there are only 8,000 people with a GRC in the UK. All this vitriol, all the money for the court cases, space in newspapers, time in parliament, to target 8,000 people. Of course>
Was fantastic to be part of the Cardiff demonstration for #TransRights today - the biggest demonstration I've seen in Cardiff on any topic, really positive powerful feel and fabulous speakers
