Performance in drag has delighted children for centuries- from pantomime dames to classroom story time.
Bizarre that acts like this can create a moral panic in a Conservative Party that doesn’t blink at the idea of loading planes full of refugees and banishing them to Rwanda.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people have been around since the dawn of time. I should know, I was one.
They weren't recruited, or converted, they just were. And they continue to be. Their words aren't strange, or perverse, or creepy, they're bloody powerful. /7

Here in Barcelona a kilo of tomatoes is €1.59, ie £1.38. In Tescos the same thing is £4.44. Of course, food inflation is the same all over Europe and it’s nothing to do with Brexshit.

People in the UK are over-educated for the jobs they are limited to due to a lack of social mobility, housing, infrastructure, healthcare & social care. Your Ph.D. is worthless if a good job is in a city 3 trains away, where rent is extortionate & you can't see a GP.

Excellent piece destroying the idea that Britain’s growth problem is to do with a lack of “skills”, as opposed to stuff like better transport links into cities.

Whatever your take on Poland under PiS, it's indisputable there's currently a major opposition rally on the streets of Warsaw.
And the government-controlled public broadcaster is NOT SHOWING ANY OF IT.
If that doesn't make you uneasy, I don't know what will.

Propaganda on Poland's ruling-party-controlled public TV is on level of a non-democracy - the most extreme manipulation straight from the party room. Especially intense today against opposition march. Nothing new to observe this, but can't be emphasised enough in election year.

34 years ago Poland shocked the world, it was a world chamging election.

Niezależnie od opinii o rządach PiS, nie da się zaprzeczyć faktowi, że na ulicach Warszawy są tysiące ludzi.
To jest, obiektywnie, temat.
A kontrolowana przez rząd telewizja informacyjna nie pokazuje NIC z tego wydarzenia.
Jak to nie jest cenzurą to nie wiem, co nią jest.

Halfway through the year, and I've been called a paedophile, a groomer, a liar, a scumbag, filthy, and an abomination.
Please bare in mind I talk about #StarTrek for a living. Can you imagine what people who have the courage to be activists face?

When gay men were fighting for their rights, one of the main talking points from bigots was that they were pedophiles looking for young boys.
The same arguments are being dragged up now against trans people.
It wasn’t true then and it isn’t true now.

Hi my name is Brayan Vilanova Cuevas (he/him), I am a Microbiology PhD student working on current mass mortality events of sea urchins. Outside of science I enjoy photography, swimming and woodwork. Fun fact, if I had to give up science tomorrow I would go to culinary school.

However, FBS is not a solution for achieving mass market adoption due to:

🔹 its limited global production

Happy Pride Month! It feels scarier out there, constant attacks on our community and little defence from people in charge.
But we are still here, still queer, and we have found each other! The fight is hard, but they will lose because all they have is hate. Simple as that.
