Professors are condemning what they call a 'McCarthy-era purge' after UT Austin laid off around 60 staff to comply with Texas' DEI ban. l8r.it/N668

Even a number of Conservatives have decided #infectedblood victims are owed Compensation but Rishi Sunak + ‘special’ friend Jeremy Hunt are clearly a law unto themselves. Conservatives get a grip! An unelected PM is dragging you to oblivion!

This shows just one deliberate act that different UK governments have gone to.

A cover up that has lasted for decades #Contaminatedblood
Deliberately holding back the truth about what really happened #haemophilia #HIV #HEPC #factor8

In Kenneth Clarke’s book “Kind of Blue” he incorrectly writes that under John Major’s government that compensation had been paid to #haemophiliac victims of the #Contaminatedblood disaster .
This was a deliberate act to try and distance himself from the disaster

A drawing a day.
Day 467. My beloved brother James, who died OTD nine years ago because of the #infectedblood given to him as a kidney patient.

Today I presented a petition to parliament on behalf of people in #BatleyAndSpen to urge the government to implement the recommendations of the second interim report of the #InfectedBloodInquiry Victims are dying every week. Compensation must be paid. #ContaminatedBloodScandal

We are delighted to announce the winner of this year's prize. Congratulations to Elizabeth McCracken @elizmccrack.bsky.social and her brilliant book, *The Hero of this Book*

On something like our third date, my bf said he was planning to write a heist novel about the theft of the bones of Saint Nicholas. Which actually happened! (Both the novel and the 11th century saintly smash and grab - but w/o as much bi romance as in his novel). Cover reveal:

Margaret Atwood said 'don't miss this eccentric charmer', Olga Tokarczuk said it was 'unmissable' and Max Porter called it 'wonderful'. And today it's just 99p from your favourite ebook store.

I review this macabre novel by Edward Carey set in the world of the theater:
