Editorial with @totheeast & Kate Boyer for our special issue on Everyday Memory & Geography has been published in Emotion, Space & Society! Pulling together a wealth of great work was no small feat, so I'm really glad that it's finally out in the world 🌍 tinyurl.com/46cc7cf6
They’re not “killing” your club. Reading have been on the brink for the last 3 years. Coventry had to play home games in other towns/cities for multiple seasons. Derby nearly went out of business 3 years ago. Birmingham spent several years not knowing who actually owned the…
For @wesstreeting and @Hilary_Cass The new French guidelines for treating trans kids are diametrically the opposite of The Cass Review, and were produced using a much more robust methodology and... They were *peer-reviewed* unlike The Cass Report. erininthemorning.com/p/new-french-g…

Who reviewed this paper? A few days ago @gcabanac tweeted about a paper that had published a remark that it had been forced to cite irrelevant papers. You can see the tweet here: buff.ly/3UMIguf. We remarked that if it was not so serious, it would be funny. Since…

I've found out that my grant got cut because I posted a video of me standing up out of my wheelchair on social media. They used my public facing social media, which I use to awareness to the fact that people have varying conditions, to push me out of work. I am actually in pieces
Absolutely no words. @DWPgovuk have cut my support dramatically (both hours and pay). I now cannot do my job. Please help me stay in work. Even if it's just sharing to make a noise. gofund.me/5e5b7b0c *Having to take a lil time off for mh, be back soon*
Let’s not be classist/ableist when condemning far-right riots. Racism isn’t a “working class trait”. It’s woven into the fabric of our society and comes from the top. One of the few things that has trickled down. But it doesn’t have to be this way - we can build a better world.
Trans people and their advocates have been saying for years that transphobia will easily be weaponized against cis and intersex women who don't conform to trad femininity, threatening all women in the process. And that's exactly what is happening
Reminder, again: there is NO definition of "real woman" that doesn't harm cis women, as well as trans women. Transphobia can never be feminist. And as always, forever; trans women are women.
Please remember, it would also be okay if she WAS trans.

The silencing of victims in academia is rampant, vicious, and staring every one of us in the face. Delyth and Erin's experience is one of so many examples of this, and the whole UK university system hasn't even begun to acknowledge how bad the problem is.
In March last year @ErinPritchard15 & i edited a book & it was published. Today, it is now unpublished, it has been silenced &we have received a reversion of rights. Im proud of this collection, of everyone who wrote a chapter, the bravery of every single author. We will be back.
cities skylines 2 had to remove landlords to get rid of the high rent problem lmao
If you want to understand just how manufactured the transgender culture war is, less than 2 years ago Kemi Badenoch was celebrating the fact that it was becoming easier to apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate
This is completely false. It is about listening to people who have been ignored purely because of their identity and location outside of existing power structures. It brings excellence *in* where previously ignored unjustly
Opinion: “Decolonisation’s advocates demand that academics add authors to reading lists not because of the accuracy of their facts or the insightfulness of their analysis but because the authors’ identities are said to be under-represented” - Martin Levy timeshighereducation.com/opinion/librar…

Librarians need the knowledge and willpower to challenge decolonisation
Identity politics’ 1960s progenitors had a level of nuance and erudition that today’s EDI activists would do well to emulate, says Martin Levy
Happy IDAHOBIT! Allies, it's time to show up and do something to defend trans youth from divisive dangerous hateful creeping changes to our schools. Mermaids made a template. It takes literal minutes 🏳️⚧️ nmshr.io/s/twitter/Zx84…
