A promotional graphic for a Disabled Students UK event titled “Cripping Competence: Enhancing Student Outcomes through Inclusive Assessment Design.” The text explains that rising demand, shrinking resources, long waits for diagnostic assessments, and overstretched support systems lead to interrupted learning and inconsistent adjustments for many disabled students. The event details are shown with icons: Wednesday 3rd December 2025, 12:30pm, online via Zoom. At the bottom, it says “Sign up on Eventbrite.” On the right side, the Disabled Students UK logo appears. At the bottom of the graphic, there is an illustration of three people sitting together at a table: one person using a wheelchair, one person with a laptop, and one person standing beside them. The background includes purple and pink design elements.

HIV testing is self-care.

Knowing your status takes away the uncertainty and worry, giving you peace of mind and control over your health. It’s a simple step that helps protect both you and those you care about.

Today we come together to mark Trans Day of Remembrance. We continue to fight against an increasing tide of transphobia sweeping across Wales, the UK and the world. We mourn those lost and recommit ourselves to do all we can to show love, support and solidarity to our trans community.

Still feeling very bruised from the Enterprise to Dublin from Portadown last week @translinkni.bsky.social, my QR code wasn't behaving so I was scanned through the exit and the barrier slammed shut on me midway. You don't realize how much damage those can do until it's your arm in the barrier!

Really proud to have been a Project Officer for this incredible project across Wales. Pride is not just history month or Pride Month it is all year round and small grass root projects do some incredible work for their communities all across Wales. I'm just thankful to play one small part.
