Have you ever known a regional employment tribunal outside of the City get such massive coverage on the BBC
When will organisations learn that when dealing with ‘gender critical’ transphobes they need to be absolutely fastidious in their attention to detail!?
Otherwise bad-faith bigots will misrepresent any minor oversight to position themselves as the wronged victims! 😣

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life
millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on
but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Even now it’s still jarring to see a once-great party of people like Nye Bevan & Harold Wilson reduced to churning out this level of slop like a Poundland Reform, by the likes of @jeevunsandher.bsky.social.

Farage and Polanski simply don’t understand this. That’s why they’re wrong about Britain.

For the rare jobs that do exist, faculty get to vote on who to hire. Many have an unofficial “no assholes” rule, which makes the working environment so much more pleasant for everyone. If you’re a grievance-obsessed weirdo, and there are 10 equally-qualified normal people, the decision is easier.
I have so much empathy and solidarity for those struggling with the painful and structurally unjust academic labor market, but this racial grievance shit is simply not the way.
