Absolutely beyond my comprehension that people are being slaughtered in their thousands, children are going hungry, the world is dying and people keep banging on about trans women in toilets. My God. What is wrong with us? That there is such cruelty and such apathy in us.

If anybody has any tips or advice about applying for the Gladstone's library scholarships I'd be most grateful ✨️

I love my mom but she has this belief that men are ‘intelligent’ while women are ‘hard-working’. Women can achieve the same things as men but they have to work harder because they are just not as ‘smart’.

Palestinians in Gaza are reporting that last night was one of the worst since the beginning of the genocide. Reminder; just because coverage has dropped in the mainstream media does NOT mean things have eased up. The genocide continues unabated and with international

#OnThisDay in 1818, Emily Brontë, an English novelist and poet best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, was born. Emily was the second-youngest of the Brontë siblings. She spent most of her life in the Yorkshire moors, which greatly inspired her writing.

Trans people and their advocates have been saying for years that transphobia will easily be weaponized against cis and intersex women who don't conform to trad femininity, threatening all women in the process. And that's exactly what is happening

Transphobia is a white supremacist, eugenicist enterprise

Sickens me that for 10 months we marched peacefully to demand an end to the genocide in Gaza and we were framed and smeared as violent, divisive and driven by hate. Then actual fascists start rioting, looting and engaging in racist violence and there’s barely a murmur.

this is why the ruling class don’t want the humanities. when you study history, literature, or media (etc) you immediately see how language distorts reality; how the press are racist; how historical context helps see the present clearly.

It is NOT a ‘protest’. It is violence. It is pure hatred. It is ignorance. It is Islamophobia. It is targeting specific groups based on their skin colour, ethnicity, identity.

After all the transphobia, witch-hunting, and the despicable and unsportsmanlike disrespect shown by a handful of athletes - let THIS image be the one that stays with you: After Imane Khelif won her gold medal bout her opponent, Yang Liu of China, embraced her with a smile.

Telling myself that anyone who thinks any piece of art, whether sonata or novel, is apolitical is being intentionally obtuse, because I can't cope with the idea that researchers don't understand that each output has contexts of social, cultural, political, personal significance

The Taliban are an abomination. An abomination created by the West in its crusade against the Soviet Union, of which entity no one needs to be proud of either. Solidarity to the women of Afghanistan, may the patriarchs perish.

This whole demure thing. Do the people using it understand how for centuries “demure behaviour” was expected of women? Women had to be soft spoken, polite, appropriate - and what was appropriate and polite was determined by others. You had to comply. 1/2

Do I know anyone with any expertise in or knowledge of 19th century theatre in Brighton? (Please RT if you see this to help it spread)

thinking about Judith Butler on grievability. Palestinians cannot be mourned in death because they have never counted as lives to begin with. We know this, we see it elsewhere too, but sometimes the hierarchy of human life is so clear it takes your breath away.

I'm sick of writing articles about male violence that most men don't bother to read For British GLAMOUR: glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/male-v…

Isn’t ‘preference for non-consenting partners’ just rape? The horror of it all.

I wrote a fun piece for the Conversation about Victorian slang: theconversation.com/gen-zs-languag…
