When I die, I want to be known as a supporter of trans people. That will be my legacy.

The last few days have been devastating. We want to extend solidarity to those 62 branch members who have been forced to take @goldsmithsuol meagre redundancy package. Your loss will be felt for a long time & Goldsmiths is poorer without you.

Any early-career south-west sound designers with availability next week give me a shout. Paid opportunity - very simple setup and great for people looking to get into sound design for theatre! RTs welcome

This is one of those moment when little Englander anti-foreigner rhetoric sinks an economy. £38,000 minimum salary and no dependents will mean huge swathes of our NHS, social care and hospitality businesses have staff shortages… bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

We are heartbroken to learn of Hamas’s brutal murder of lifelong Canadian-Israeli peace activist, Vivian Silver. We wholeheartedly condemn and abhor these indiscriminate attacks against civilians, which have caused untold suffering to so many families.
Oh God. The body of Vivian Silver, who was believed to be kidnapped was identified today; murdered in her home. She was a woman of compassion, humanity, and unwavering dedication to Jewish-Arab partnership and peace. Yet another needless victim of this horror.

A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country. 1/n

This is happening is Jerusalem right now! Hundreds of Jewish and Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel came together to a solidarity rally to say that only Israeli-Palestinian peace will end the death and violence. Only ending the occupation will bring life. Only partnership wins.

We are disgusted by the scenes of violence from far-right thugs on the streets of London today. And yet our Home Secretary emboldened them. Shame on the Government.
