If you see me in public without a bra and are offended, then you should have made sure everyone you know was wearing a mask because I stopped wearing bras two weeks into the pandemic and had it ended earlier I might have gone back to them but y’all missed that window.

Dear white businesses. I get it's Black History Month but I don't get what all the pictures of black people's hands are for. What are you doing with our hands? Put them down. Also unless you're a megaphone business stop telling me you're 'amplifying black voices'. Thnx.

I’m not surprised that I am hearing about trans staff who are thinking of leaving UCL Alumni who are now advising LGBTQ prospective students not to apply UCL Alumni Current LGBTQ students deciding to go elsewhere for postgrad UCL LGBT+ Out@UCL

I taught students that complete emptiness is not practically possible. You can't create a perfect vacuum with no interacting particles. But hearing the completely empty statement from the Provost to 'make sure our people are taken care of' I am rescinding this @UCLOut UCL LGBT+

The biggest mystery of SATC was how Carrie afforded that apartment on one newspaper column a week. The biggest mystery of #AndJustLikeThat is why so many people of colour are willing to make one of these annoying ladies their white friend

"Flutterings" by Catherine Lee is an incredible response to Laura Barker's piece "Bugs". It is an interspecies improvisation with the Bombyz mori (domestic silkworm moth). We recommend listening with headphones for full effect! 🎧 soundcloud.com/ongoing_space/…
