At the @thisisyourparty.bsky.social founding conference this weekend. The atmosphere is one of cautious but committed optimism - neither delusional nor defeatist. Whatever reservations I have, I feel privileged to witness this experiment in mass, deliberative democracy unprecedented in this country

Good morning, while everyone is waiting for the budget to be announced it’s a good time to say that immigration is a source of prosperity for the UK and painting Britain as a hostile state is sabotaging the country. Thanks!

Really enjoyable workshop today at the Newbridge Project, and great to have a print copy of this! A few people have asked if they can buy a copy. Let me know if you would like one (and what you’d pay). If there’s enough interest I’ll look into it! We also read from Reclaim the Hides’ brillant zine

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...
Nearly Half of All LGBTQ+ Characters Will Disappear From TV Next Season, GLAAD Study Finds
The 2024-25 TV season recorded 489 queer characters across broadcast, cable and screenings, but cancellations and plot find a deep decline to come

Trans-exclusionary feminism falls on its foundational claim - that it speaks for women. Consistently, a majority of women disagree. Yet sadly the campaign is well-funded and persistent. Please respond to the consultation on the Hampstead Heath ponds and help show there is no mandate for exclusion
🏊♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.
In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.
Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

I grew up riding the 18 bus to School in central Jerusalem and came very close to a horrible death in more than one bomb attack. It hasn’t made me believe that Jewish safety comes from the right to oppress and kill Palestinians. It hasn’t made me scared of Muslims or a supporter of genocide 🧵
