Brought to us via This Is Not A Drill: a toilet with the words "no trans segregation" & "where do we go now?" was left at the Labour Party office. Our MP Daniel Zeichner both-sideses emails about fascist nu-wave transphobia so we empathise with whoever did this!

Friends, we've been busy little bees cooking up lots of delicious events for you all - watch this space for a Christmas market, life drawing, a plant swap, a clothes tailoring session, a grief café, and probably lots of things I've forgotten about because there are SO MANY LOVELY THINGS TO REMEMBER

Hi folks,
A few people have asked us whether TLC is running a TDoR event - the answer is that we're not. We will however be running a grief café event in early December, details coming soon. Here's a statement about why we've decided not to run a TDoR event (Content warning: violence):

TLC AND FRIENDS DISRUPT CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE

Here's our statement:
Today we disrupted the University IVs Regatta races, preventing most of the boats from competing. By putting out an inflatable boat into the water for the duration of the racing afternoon, we left rowers unable to race.

Here is how it works: Outside Lichfield Hall there will be a table. It will be covered in plants that the Notorious Plant Gays of TLC have propagated. You can take one. You can take several. PLEASE GOD TAKE AT LEAST ONE. If you, like we, are a Notorious Plant Gay who can't stop potting cuttings, bring any surplus green children and abandon them on the table for others to adopt! Congratulations. Now you have Plants."
