Constantly worth reminding that the reason they're making these statements isn't that they disagree with the messages, it's that they leaked.

What was reported in @politico is offensive and very concerning. But I'm also glad that many leaders, including @EliseStefanik and @RepMikeLawler, spoke out strongly and swiftly against these hateful statements. This is what leadership looks like - and is how decency and morality can be modeled.

Genuinely wild that there are less than two months until one of the most anticipated sequels is released and.. I know next to nothing about it.

There's many reasons transphobes are the way they are, but one of them is that they have a very narrow, specific and exclusionary view of the world and so, naturally, explicit racism is either a next natural step or has always been there (scratch a TERF, find a racist)

This is almost certainly cheating (because it never came out), but the scrapped version of RESIDENT EVIL 4 will never not impress me. I remember seeing this trailer when it released and I swear my mind is still being exploded by it all these years later.

Damn. Genuinely hard to put into words how much of an impact Drew had on cinema. GOAT seems almost quaint.

Charlie Ashby @charlie-ashby.co.uk · 2d

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

The EHRC code must be scrapped.

Our Head of Policy, Jess O'Thomson, says that in light of this significant intervention, the Code of Practice cannot be laid as drafted. The Minister must reject it.

Exclusion of trans people from services for their lived gender must be the exception, not the rule.

"This significant intervention from the Commissioner makes clear that the EHRC's new Code of Practice cannot be laid as drafted. The minister must reject it and insist the EHRC try again - making clear how to include trans people, not just exclude.

Exclusion of trans people from services for their lived gender, the letter makes clear, must be the exception - not the rule."
