The organisers of Manchester Pride forgot entirely the point and instead allowed it to become a corporate grift, now they're not even paying the performers. Shame on them! Sign and share to get people paid.

News that further job cuts are coming is just another shocking revelation in a year when staff have been told one thing only to be told something different over the number of jobs to be cut and the need for compulsory redundancies.

Delighted about the news from NY. GO Zohran Mamdani! I hope this is the start of the USA turning away from the vicious cruelty of the current administration and back towards hope and fairness.
I also hope the UK does the same

Here we are again at INTO MANCHESTER. Still no improved offer, still no ACAS dates. Radio silence from the employer. That silence speaks volumes about how little they value the people who keep this organisation running, who teach, guide, and inspire every single student that walks through that door.

July 14, 1978. Eight women. A line around the block. A million dollars in deposits on day one.
And the revolutionary act of saying: a woman's signature is enough. It was proof that when systems exclude you, you have the power to build better ones.

This is absolutely terrifying
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Happy National Black Cat Day from my little voidlings 🐈⬛ Sadly they're the least adopted colour and languish in rescues for much longer than others. If you're looking for a cat consider opening your heart and home to a house panther or two.

Solidarity to the BL staff! Support the strike, don't cross the pickets!
The risible wages are well-known in the wider field of the library, museum, gallery and archive world. I’d like to think public opinion is with the people who make the place click day-in-day-out; they deserve better.
Knowledge may be free but labour isn’t: spread the wealth and pay the workers!
