Support resources for our trans friends and allies | Good Law Project At a time when anti-trans discrimination is rife and hate crime has reached record levels, it’s important to know what support is out there for trans, non-binary or gender-questioning individuals and ...

On what is a really difficult day, here are some resources for our trans friends and allies.

Solidarity 💜

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling.

The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right.

Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

What’s the inking pen you’re using btw?

Benefit cuts with a red rosette are in many ways no different than those stained in blue. Joints still throb when the heating has to be switched off in winter. Stomachs still pang with hunger when there is only a biscuit for tea. And yet cuts signed off by a Labour Chancellor are in a sense particularly brutal. They come with a tinge, not just of fear, but despair and betrayal. The feeling that if this is life under the “good guys”, there really is no hope that anything will get better. Politicians, it turns out, really are all the same. That is the sort of loss that can’t be measured by a Treasury spreadsheet. It is also one that - once lost - is deeply hard to get back.

Quakers have a long history of nonviolent direct action. At the time, this is often viewed as criminal.
History, however, normally judges differently.
The UK government needs to have a hard think about which side it wants to be on.

Not in living memory has a Quaker Meeting House been violated like this.

“Let us know why you cancelled, it’ll just take a minute”

Image of text reads: “Other reason: I disagree with the political stance and alignment of the Amazon business which particularly harms the most vulnerable. I will no longer be spending my money there.”

🤗 Such an unexpected relief to delete the Amazon app from my devices 😮‍💨💞 #BuyDirect

What went right this week: the good news that matters The green economy defied sceptics, a river was granted rights, and ‘life-changing’ therapy treated a rare blindness, plus more good news

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

A poem for you 💞

How to spend half a trillion dollars

So glad you’re here @emmaelizabeth88.bsky.social 😍💞💖

Not that far back, we were all black.

😂 How ever did you survive Durham 😆
I would love to see you next time I’m down in London, I can’t believe how long it’s been!

Living a 10 min journey from this beach and from Liverpool city centre is a very happy compromise

I grew up in the midlands, moved here 25 years ago and I don’t think I could bear to be away from the sea again 🥰 I love London and all the amazing food and entertainment it has to offer, but can only do about 3 days before I get overwhelmed and need a horizon and some super fresh air 😆
