🚨 #CallForAbstracts 🚨
Disability and Fairy Tales: Keeping the magic, confronting the stigma.
We're delighted to be co-organising this symposium with Professor Nicola Grove (founder of @OpenStoryTeller)!
Full details here: disabledtales.co.uk/symposiu…
#Disability #FairyTales #CFP
ALT Call for abstracts: This symposium is interested in discussing the nuances of disability representation in fairy tales, interrogating how writers, storytellers, publishers, teachers and academics use such tales to empower disabled people and preserve the disabled characters that have survived through generations. We’re also interested in the limitations of traditional fairy tales and the ways in which retellings and reinterpretations can challenge the negative or outdated tropes of the genre. We invite the submission of abstracts for presentations or creative performances (e.g. poetry readings or storytelling) that explore traditional fairy tales or contemporary retellings that centre disability, whether that be sensory, physical, learning, or neurological. Please send an abstract of 300-500 words to [email protected] by 30th September 2024 detailing the title of your presentation or performance & outlining what you intend to cover.

I hear the press have got hold of some pictures and so I have been forced to make this statement. Needless to say, I apologise. shorturl.at/nENOY

Today I'm reminded of this quote.
When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.
Edmund Burke

WE’VE WON our case against Government anti-protest laws that completely ignored the will of Parliament.

Today, we dropped a 30ft banner to say fuck the Cass Review. Trans youth know what they want and need. It’s not being pathologized or patronised. It's accessing the support they deserve, whether safe housing, education or puberty blockers.
ALT A group of 18 activists hang a banner reading 'Hands off trans healthcare' over the side of Westminster Bridge. The banner is pink mesh with black text. Pink, blue and purple smoke from flares fills the sky. In the background are the Houses of Parliament, and a double decker bus crossing the bridge.

This nondescript „art gallery” has been in Gdynia for over a year. It has never opened, there’s no doorknob, but the lights are on every day and quite often there’s people inside. Give me your best guess as to what this place is

The statement by the headteacher of Brianna Ghey whose twitter I will not be linking so as to delay the time before it is descended upon by the cult o9f rabid transpohobes that infest this place.
It's beautiful and it changes what we were told by the transphobic press about her-

🚨BREAKING: Govt's utterly inhumane, grotesquely immoral & totally unworkable #Rwanda scheme has now been deemed illegal by the Supreme Court - the highest court in the land. Please, Prime Minister - time for an asylum policy which actually treats people with respect & dignity.

I received an invite from the Biden administration for a Diwali event being held by the VP on nov 8. I decline any invitation from an institution that supports the collective punishment of a trapped civilian population—50% of whom are children.

In the 2021 census 0.2% identified as trans, and 0.1% in Non binary ways. If watching rich powerful people bully minorities isn't enough to irk you, you should be angry that policies that only impact 0.3% of the population, are being touted as this governments priorities.

If you think seriously about the hard problem of consciousness long enough you eventually become either a panpsychist or Catholic

In January the UK government used a Section 35 order to block GRA reforms in Scotland
We've been granted permission to intervene in a judicial review challenging this order alongside colleagues at @stonewalluk, the ICDR, and the Scottish government

A reminder that Daniel Sloss had a bit about sexual assault in one of his stand ups and how he wished he’d done something to stop his friend being raped. It’s powerful to see him come forward and stick to his word. #Dispatches

At the weekend, I contracted food poisoning & it has severely affected my inner ear balance
Lying down is currently my only position to avoid feeling like being on a boat!
My apologies, therefore, for any delay in responding to any of your DMs or comments.

Remarkably, lesbian sporting icon Martina Navratilova is currently leading a pile-on against me in which she argues, among other things, that women are raped because they are small. I encourage people to read the essay that has everyone agitated. One huff and the house blew down.
I’m thrilled to be able to share with you an essay reviewing three recent books by Julie Bindel, Kathleen Stock, and Helen Joyce. These three books exemplify the intellectual and political commitments of the so-called “gender critical” movement.

A woman walked by while I was painting this and gave out to me for making her look so angry. She said it would be “much nicer with her looking happy.” I replied that she had a lot to be angry about.

In this poll of LGBTQ+ Britons, just 3% opted for ‘LGB’ - the acronym used to deliberately exclude trans people.
This shows lesbian, gay and bi people overwhelmingly see trans people as part of their community.
So stop pretending there’s a civil war over this. There isn’t.
LGBT is the acronym the media tends to use to represent the queer community, but queer Britons themselves are more likely to use LGBTQ+
LGBTQ+ 29%
LGBTQ 13%
Combined: 42%
LGBT 21%
LGBT+ 8%
