Throughout my 20s, I wore an AIDS awareness red ribbon pretty much everyday.
My friends were dying. It’s what we did.
AIDS is not over.
630,000 people died of it last year.
1 December is #WorldAIDSDay.

Mohammad had a farm which he tended to lovingly, but unfortunately the occupation seems to have seized that land indefinitely. He is now doing his best to cultivate the area around his tent. He still needs help to ensure his family is warm and fed. 🍉🙏💚

I'm not doing Black Friday discounts this year.
It’s just me in my Manchester studio. I can't compete with big brands slashing prices.
Every purchase keeps my tiny business going.

The past two weeks have been a lot. At Law Dork, I've been on it, covering SCOTUS action, Charlotte and DC news, Texas redistricting, DOJ's anti-trans moves, and more.

You’ve seen the signs: ‘Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted’. They lie. In the UK ‘trespass’ is a civil offence, not a criminal one. You cannot face prosecution simply for being on someone’s land, off a designated Right of Way, open access land, or land where bylaws permit access, without permission.

That's some really good communication there.

*Goodfellas voice* as far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a fat bottomed girl. To me, being a fat bottomed girl was better than being the president of the United States. I just wanted to make the rocking world go round.

This has lost me thousands of pounds (not to mention book sales) and put me in a state of terror and panic. I urge anyone thinking of moving their list from Substack, or wanting to know more about how Substack works, to read it....
I'm not going back to Substack. I will continue to post my newsletters from Ghost. But I did have to get back in there, just to post this and let people who thought I'd vanished know about this utter nightmare: substack.com/home/post/p-...

As the UK prepares to follow a country whose policies have discrimination baked in - and, as the article tells, vigorously defended by the white establishment, which continues to refuse to return children they have given away.

Important: Read Dan's thread and then fill out the consultation on the link at the end

It's very important for as many of you as possible to take part
I am currently, because I know how to enjoy a Saturday morning, writing some guidance for people on filling this consultation in. As I do several things are highly apparent. Before I go through them though I don't want this to put people off of filling it in. It is important to do so nonetheless. 1/
Government has today published its consultation into "earned settlement", the forward alone contains a hot mess of misrepresentation of the current system by the Home Secretary. I would strongly urge anyone affected by the current system to respond.

Excellent news. It was gutting when Labour ousted from his Kemptown seat, where he was very popular and did great work. Would love to see him back there as a Green MP 💚
