What better way to beat the post-holiday doldrums than a gorgeous cosy night in (well, at the NCI Centre) drawing gorgeous trans folk with your friends? 9th Jan, 7-9pm, NCI Centre, Cambridge!

Paper and some materials provided, obvs being your own kit if you have it. All skill levels adored x
A halftoned image of a classical statue (the god Hermaphroditus/e) from waist up, in rich raspberry pink on a deep purple background. They play with their long wavy hair. Around them, the text for the event sits in a funky 70s-ish font in bright lemon yellow. It says the time and date as above, and "trans and queer life drawing - loads of models - tunes - pencils and things" and a star burst saying "wow its free!" at the bottom of the image.

Our comrades, our hunger strikers, have been starving for 5 weeks in protest of the state's oppression of Palestinian activists and continued participation in Israeli apartheid and genocide.
If you have not done anything to support them, start now.

SHOCKING: 7 Palestine Action activists have been on HUNGER STRIKE for as long as 30 DAYS.

The activists have been denied bail, and could be held for over two years before their trial.

WHY is no one talking about this?!

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!

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.

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."
