Considering the genetic test for Huntington's disease? Remember, it is available, but not a must. Take time to weigh up your options carefully before deciding if it's right for you. This thread looks at things to think about 🧵👇

it is so sad, that the term 'woke', an AAVE term, that means to simply be 'awake to injustice' has become this highly politicised term, spat out with venom by the most hateful people. how so very sad, to make the world more hateful, instead of more loving.

My trans siblings: Just know we’re here for you. Following Sunak’s transphobic speech, it’s going to get increasingly hostile for trans people. But you have allies and a community who love and support you. We’re in this fight together and we won’t back down to bigotry. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍🌈

“The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.” ~James Baldwin

Let's make it clear: living on the streets is not a ‘lifestyle choice’ - it is a sign of failed government policy. No one should be punished for being homeless. Criminalising people for sleeping in tents, and making it an offence for charities to help them, is unacceptable.

Far-right violence hasn’t come out of nowhere. It is the result of anti-migrant rhetoric from mainstream politicians who scapegoat refugees. We are an anti-racist movement that believes in a more inclusive world. We defeated the far right before. We will defeat them again.

Femicide doesn’t start and end with the eventual act. It starts from the jokes, the rhetorics, the repulse, the unreasonable takes that stem from deep patriarchal conditioning and other forms of dangers that are easily negligible and casually neglected.

rin the rurb, re all ram

I know this is meant to be a cuddly story but for those Windrush victims I’ve been speaking to recently who are aging and worrying about dying without their status being sorted, this for them I’m sure will be a slap in the face

A four-month-old baby died trying to cross the Channel last week and the Home Office is giving out little passports to fictional bears for cutesy content. Just a profoundly sick society.
