interesting @podsavetheuk.crooked.com epon abortion in the UK- Lisa was great!- but I’d suggest that perhaps imaginations/knowledges of fighting back is actually from non-US contexts like Argentina, or y’know, Ireland! The most radical abortion work is not happening in the US. 😕

In Oct 2023, an FOI revealed an actual wait at my nearest clinic (Exeter) of 17yrs & 3mos, a fact that stunned everyone I told. In one year, that's grown to THIRTY-ONE YEARS.

I tend to write really detailed feedback for student assessments - this is obviously extremely time intensive, & i'm often told students don't *want* that much feedback. my marking load has also increased so... any tips on how to write more conscise but still useful feedback?

Today, the counterprotesters have started giving out leaflets.
This is because yesterday they managed to talk someone out of going to FiLiA, and they felt that leaflets could communicate such messages more effectively.
They have also started giving out stickers promoting trans joy.
