Hey @towerhamletsnow.bsky.social - given I have paid for visitors parking and am parked in the visitors spot (and the passes are virtual, not physical) how come you’ve given me a PCN?

Tonight, Trump and RFK Jr will announce that folinic acid (leucovorin) is a 'treatment' or 'cure' for autism.
Dr Oz was made Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Guess whose business bought in a load of folinic acid to sell?
Is it Dr Oz's?! Yes, of course it is.

Tomorrow Trump will announce the ‘cause’ of autism, something he says is ‘out of control’. He also doesn’t care if (read: that) what he says is wrong.
Autism isn’t out of control, but ableism is.
Autism isn’t out of control, but eugenics are.

On Saturday, before the headlines about the trans employee doing her job and offering customer service, I was in a M&S bra department and there was a man there buying bras.

It didn't occur to me that when people are complaining about queuing, they're complaining about the time being wasted and not in fact the agonising physical pain caused by standing still.
Like, what?! Standing still isn't supposed to hurt? No one told me this!

In a world that actively makes disabled people feel like a burden - including through the removal of essential disability benefits - the passing of the Assisted Dying vote today is devastating.

I ended up in A&E on Friday night after becoming very, very unwell and we know I was very, very unwell because I wasn't even enthusiastic about the concept of a Doctor Who finale.
Me. Not enthusiastic about a Doctor Who finale.

In 24 hours I've managed to secure coverage of the first production of Twelfth Night by an all trans and non-binary cast & director in Broadway World, The Telegraph, Attitude, Them, Playbill, Metro, Pink News, The Evening Standard and even GB news (points for even getting them to mention trans joy).

As a disabled writer, nothing brought me more joy than watching this week's Doctor Who episode in which disabled people - and specifically disabled community - are the ones with the clarity and organisation to try to bring down a harmful system.

If you’re a bookshop or library wanting to cover LGBTQ+ equality right now and giving people tools can I recommended 1. Stocking my book Outrage and 2. Inviting me to speak
I panic about not having done enough book events all the time. But then I remember I’m literally disabled.

So the UK has slipped from 1st in Europe for LGBTQ+ rights to 22nd. The only countries who dropped a comparable level this year to us are Hungary and Georgia.
I’ve been saying it for years - in fact I wrote a whole book on it - but LGBTQ+ people are not safe or stable in the UK.

I was waiting for some more elements to be in place before I announced it, but I am setting up a directory of LGBTQ+ freelance creative talent.
Given everything going on I would like to more urgently get this going & prioritise trans talent.

List is more updated. So the total of protests announced in the last 48 hours is about 21.
All over the UK.
I have also linked some fundraisers to Trans Legal Project and the @goodlawproject.bsky.social
And included petitions too.

I think that is where we are heading, and one might even argue that we are close to arriving there, if you are trans in the UK.
You have notional legal rights but face consistent institutional discrimination and oppression, including in the courts. Your life shrinks. That is where we are today.

Today's Supreme Court Ruling - which will decimate trans lives - is a direct result of a case funded substantially by J K Rowling.
This is what we mean when we say support J K Rowling & Harry Potter has tangible harms for trans people.
