Shocked at the cruelty of official toilet war on trans people 🏳️⚧️ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

@uniteucu.bsky.social members are striking again today. By failing its staff, @ucu.org.uk is failing its members. Employers, the interests of your ‘clients’ cannot be served by poor staff working conditions. #solidarity

Is New Year’s Eve a time for you to review happy memories or is it filled with loss and regret? If you need to talk to someone tonight then @samaritans.bsky.social are there to listen on 116123 (UK & Ireland). You don’t have to get through it alone.

How do we betray our glorious dead?
With paper wreaths and swathes of knitted red,
With poppy brooches, badges, bags and bling,
Petals prettify everything.
