Chief executive Dr Lucy Peake said the govts "confused and ill-considered approach" of boosting awareness of the scheme but not supporting this with extra funding "risks pushing more families to breaking point". Sound familiar? Raising awareness japes. bbc.com/news/articles/…

No pretending that that’s not a sad and difficult judgment. I don’t know what it means now to say that trans folks are treated equally in the law. Presumably that was the intention of the victors. Sending solidarity and love to all trans folks and friends.

Solidarity with the trans community after this grim Supreme Court decision. Fixation on biological markers of sex are disproven by Disabled bodies everyday - this decision will impact anyone with a body deemed outside of 'normal'. None of us are free until all of us are free!🏳️‍⚧️

1. It has been one year since Stolen Lives protested outside the Senedd. Detention of people with learning disabilities and autistic people is a human rights issue. It results in harm, abuse and long-term trauma.

Happy blossom and chocolate to those that celebrate.

After the Israeli Forces killed the 15 Red Crescent medical workers in Gaza, the IDF dug shallow graves, buried their victims, then lied - repeatedly - about what happened. Deliberately killing medical workers is a war crime.

I note that PM Keir Starmer has shared his condolences over Pope Francis’s passing praising him for pursuing a ‘fairer world’. If memory serves… The Pope repeatedly condemned Isreal’s strikes on Gaza as “cruel”. Starmer supported 🇮🇱’s seige tactics & continues to arm it.

“I call myself disabled so that others with disabilities across a wide spectrum might one day feel comfortable doing the same.  Because life is, indeed, too short for someone else’s shame” Amanda Leduc disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2020/09/16/lif…

Labour continue to make it incredibly easy to never vote for them again.

Cos I find it such a profoundly harmful organisation, I’ve nothing useful to say about the death of yer man.

We are all unsure about the weather and how to plan out the day.

Contemptuous disrespect for the premature lives and deaths of people as the Learning from Lives and Deaths - LeDeR researchers report remains unpublished. Shameful deflection by Tom Cahill 🌈🌈. 1/2
