I don't wear jackets that often but when I do I love combining badges from my collection! #Opensource space agencies to #emfcamp to repeal #section28 history with a little bit of Albanian retro advertising (cockto polish!) And, of course a #crochet radish!

It’s LGBTQIA+ STEM Day!
Just a quick post to point out that today is LGBTQIA+ STEM Day, which aims to celebrate to celebrate the work of LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), but also to highlight the barriers still facing us.
For more information see here.
This also provides an opportunity for me to send my best wishes to all LGBTQIA+ staff and students at Maynooth and around the world! As far as I know, my Employer is not marking this occasion. This surprises me as it is not unknown for them to engage in pinkwashing from time to time, whenever it suits them for some reason.
P.S. I’m reminded that it was 22 years ago today that Section 28 was finally repealed in England and Wales. With reactionary fforces around the world attacking our hard-won rights, it is important that we cling on to what we’ve got.
Weeknotes - 16 November.
Including, ‘History, Memory, Resistance: Section 28 in Wales’ event, a productive meeting about evaluation, EDI working groups, and a nice, quiet Friday. A good week, aside from having a lingering cold 🤧

I had a lovely morning participating in the Being Human Festival 'History, Memory, Resistance: Section 28 in Wales' event in Cardiff. I lived through this period and was quite nervous going in, honestly, but it was a really warm and healing space.

My documentary on Section 28 showed me how censorship works — and how it returns in new forms. So I’m hosting a one-day conference on the rise of anti-rights movements and what we can do. 🗓️ Save the date: mailchi.mp/94450cee9bbe... Please share in your networks #Section28 #LGBTQIA #HumanRights
The Paedos in the GOP are so fucking afraid of Queer people, it would be funny if they weren't trying to erase us all from existence.
Take it from this child of Section 28, the Queer kids you don't kill off with suicide and murder will never forgive your society again for what you are doing now.
I hate this country for what it did to be as a Queer child and you can take that fucking flag and shove up your Fascist asshole.
"Small Acts"
Sent off a letter to my MP about the upcoming Trans Bathroom Ban and why as a Queer I can never find acceptance and safety in National flags. Bonus mention of Section 28 screwing me over as a kid.

@katelynburns.com I've been saying this for a while now, and I fear a similar result to your Trump at the next election.
This Labour Government are bringing back Section 28, it's war now between me and them 😡

Labour hates Queers

Britain is not safe for my kind.....
I'm Queer and the Government wants to erase us, they're telling kids we're dangerous and predatory, while letting their rich perverts get away with it. They'll turn the public against us, they have the money and the time and we have nothing.
Today I've written a letter to some MPs imploring them not to bring Section 28 back, I expect it not to work, I don't expect to be heard, I am nothing.
You bring back Section 28 Keir, and I'll say you fucked over the Rochdale prosecutions for the State, and people will be hungry to hear it Keir....because they hate you and they hate the British state.
You'd abandon your children if they came out as Trans, you hate Queers, I hate you.
You peado enabler...that's why you love trump, innit?
Section 28 is back Straights, all thanks to Labour.
This is why I will never feel 'British', your state hates me and my Queer breathern, always will.
Are you going to change it or just look the other way?
I know the answer sadly, not enough of a fuss will be made, not enough voices will be heard, we just don't matter as much, that girl was been lied to when she was told this was a land of 'tolerance'
My take on yesterday's UK education ministry guidance: https://medium.com/seroxcats-salon/section-28-is-back-in-the-uk-1bcadd46b0ab
The #UK government have issued new guidance to schools. In wording rather reminiscent of 1988's Section 28, it says schools should avoid materials that "encourage pupils to question their gender."
