When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Such a privilege and joy to see my research on the weaponization of the PhD being used by the ABC to understand the treatment of women in our doctoral programmes. It was tough - dark - research. I am so thankful it has been useful... #skyphd - www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
The internet is resembling the first few pages of The Handmaid's Tale
The saddest aspect of all this that a generation of boys may feel compelled to suppress the ordinary the joy of celebrating another's success.

According to multiple sources this afternoon, in Parliament, Liz Kendall will announce ‘concessions’ on the welfare bill.
Do not clap.
These aren’t concessions.
This isn’t compassion.

One of the THREE reasons the reasoned amendment exists is because Labour MPs didn’t consult with disabled people.
Don’t “fix” this by making DIFFERENT decisions about us without consulting us.
That’s literally doing the same thing twice.
