GJ: Why am I talking to you? As a child couldn’t play with (disabled) friends because they were in a separate unit. Has always been concerned about injustice. Connor Sparrowhawk & #JusticeforLB campaign have been central to GJ’s work. Began by live-tweeting Connor’s inquest as a “legal commentator”
This week's edition of my newsletter, #WordyAndWheely, "Professionally Personal Presentations", was written in grateful solidarity with many people - including the wonderful @stephenunwin.bsky.social & @sarasiobhan.bsky.social 💙 tinyurl.com/WordWheel6 #Theatre #RepresentationMatters #JusticeForLB
A pink floral banner attached to white railings with yellow cable ties. the cross stitch words are an Audre Lorde quote and read: When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed but when we are silent, we are still afraid, so it is better to speak
A craftivism banner attached to grey railings. It's dark but the words are lit by the flash, they read: The local authority is a servant not a master, a truth which on occasion is too easily overlooked, Lord Justice Munby 2010

Excited to have placed my first small order from @gailmyerscough.bsky.social
I have a stunningly beautiful #JusticeforLB Laughing Boy Bus card that @sarasiobhan.bsky.social sent me this summer that I've not been able to take down. Must find it a frame.
Some gorgeous bits if people are looking.

Leaky eyes still thinking about a catch up with Janet Read, textile artist, #JusticeForLB quilter, PhD supervisor, wondrous woman this week to talk about my new book. 1/2
This is beautiful and heartbreaking, and amen to chucking out the useless 'models of grief'.
Glorious photos and memories too.

Don't worry, Jill's credentials are well known, thru her work and her support for #JusticeforLB
@sarasiobhan..As a society we have a duty to change things. The campaign #JusticeforLB showed that. We don't need anymore reports or reviews..."there are no pioneers here, it's all been done before"..how much have we spent on trying to improve things and what has been achieved?
Listening to the incredibly profound words of @sarasiobhan and the journey she and her family undertook, in search of #JusticeforLB. Reflecting on the integrity and support of @normanlamb which ensured accountability stood for something.
So @JanTregelles why would you block @sarasiobhan ? @TheSocialCsuite #JusticeforLB
