Fuck JKR and fuck transphobia and fuck treating sexual assault as a way to slur minorities.
The world doesn't have to be zero sum. We can support survivors *and* minority rights. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️♀️✊

Okay! I’m a bit nervous sharing this but I wrote an article for Clash about the current model of virtually unpaid streaming and how if it continues it will silence truly independent voices in music. Okay bye!
"If music costs money to make but doesn’t pay – we risk turning it into a pastime of the rich. Streaming may be convenient, but if people stop buying altogether then artists without money will be priced out..."

Disappointed but not surprised at new amnesty Intl report findings.
Report says AstraZeneca, BioNTech, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, Novavax and Pfizer are fuelling a human rights crisis through their refusal to waive IP rights & share vaccine technology:

1/Today I was providing abortion care. Something I am proud to do. But today, something happened that angered me to my core. Today, I had to hold the hand of a sobbing patient who had been traumatized by a crisis pregnancy center (CPC).

Social and technological progress is about quality, accessible structures for enabling potential of all its members. The focus on individual genius is such an obvious myth that I honestly can’t understand how it sucks in so many educated people.

Two fantastic immersive theatre experiences in one weekend, today with friends including @rmstephen and @Mighty_Ax, we did the last part of @swampmotel's glorious trilogy of mystery swampmotel.co.uk/live/ You can still do all three parts, well worth it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Last night brought the end to @friends_table's PARTIZAN. I'm super proud of the season, especially given that it was made during 2020. If you've never listened, it's a great place to jump on board and give us a shot. Mechs+politics, what else do you need? friendsatthetable.net/partiz…

Truly unbelievable.
YouTube has actually built a "donate" button to raise $$$ with extremist videos.
WATCH BELOW: the viewer clicks "donate," the money rolls in and YouTube takes a cut.
@YouTube--getting rich off lies and hate!

With Wellerman taking over TikTok I’ve seen a few people tweet “Space Shanties” and dropping the thread, but let’s pull on that a little. Let’s dig into what a space shanty would look like. Some reflections from a sailor, historical sailing buff, and a sci fi fan ahead—

Disabled people don’t ‘overcome their disability’.
When disabled people succeed, what they overcome are societal barriers.
Important to acknowledge and reframe in this way if we are to shift perceptions and raise awareness of what really disables people 🚫 🌎

If you were exposed to #COVID19 on Christmas Day, you would be at your most infectious to people you encounter tomorrow on New Year’s Eve.
This poses a serious risk of significant additional spread. #StayAtHome and stay safe.

The evidence is therefore overwhelming that B.1.1.7 was repeatedly capable to proliferate under lockdown measures sufficient to suppress other SARS-CoV-2 lineages. B.1.1.7 spread was not an isolated event of general failure of viral containment (both R>1). >>
