Male university students have walked out of their exam in protest against Taliban’s decision to BAN female students from university education. Several male professors have also resigned so far. This must happen across the country NOW!

I've had books 'disappeared' from shelves and hidden in the backshop before, or put into wrong sections so they can't be found. No one can ever explain how it happened. This Creative Scotland Lit Officer felt so emboldened, she tried to stop Jenny Lindsay's new book being stocked.

Far from the biggest problem here but I’m very depressed at how normalised it’s become to walk into any cultural venue and be greeted by adults covered in gaudy, infantile badges. Nurseryfication of society.

YouTube has already told us we won’t get any ad revenue out of the film. Apparently our film is ‘not suitable’ for advertisers. Given that the film is doing actual grunt work of peaking the world, could you help the film get to 100,000 by the first week? youtu.be/Frffv2sB8zE

Just watched "Behind The Looking Glass" and will need to lie on the floor for a bit. It's a very chilling but compulsory piece of filmmaking. #IStandWithTransWidows youtube.com/watch?v=Frffv2…
