The start of my 3rd week not being able to work because of a decision by the DWP under Keir Starmer to cut my #AccessToWork support by 61%. With support I can work, without it I can't. The shock & sadness is still overwhelming: www.touretteshero.com/safe/2025/05... @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social

Congratulations to Stellar Quines for a fantastic opening night! Brilliant to get through to Lochgelly and catch this ambitious, funny, and original Scottish musical in the heart of Fife. An example of de-centralising theatre, bringing big shows to people at affordable prices, just brill to see!

Stellar Quines stands with trans women and with the trans community. Statement in image. Alt text available.

Stellar Quines stands with trans women and with the trans community.

For decades feminists have fought to liberate women from being defined by our bodies and reproductive function. The ruling by the UK Supreme Court on the Equality Act is a regressive step that should be of great concern to anyone who cares about justice.

As intersectional feminists we understand that the fight for trans rights is integral to and not in contradiction with the rights of cis women. We will continue to advocate for this in our own work and across our spheres of influence.

In the meantime, the court ruling cannot take away the joy we have working with our amazing Frankie cast which includes trans and non binary people who are absolutely smashing it. What’s happening in the courts doesn’t stop us finding community, loving each other and creating together. Trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary people have always existed.

The posters and flyers are here! 🤖 If you’re in the mood for a sci-fi dark comedy feminist adaptation then we’ve got the show for you - coming to the Lochgelly centre this April 🎶 If you see one of our posters out and about take a photo and tag us - we’d love to share 💚

After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false. www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/12/new-...

New French guidelines show doctors overwhelmingly support gender-affirming care - LGBTQ Nation

The medical guidelines contradict numerous conclusions from the UK's infamous Cass Review.

I say this to all my male followers with love in the same way I do with my family and friends - have those uncomfortable conversations with the men in your life. Don’t allow the casual misogyny in conversations. Challenge abusive behaviour. Do the work. It’s on you. It always has been.

Bit of Stellar Quines herstory yesterday. We said goodbye to our teeny tiny office in Grindlay St. It's been such an inspiring place to work and to learn from and stand in solidarity with our friends at The Lyceum, Imaginate and Lung Ha has been invaluable!!

Happy 1st of December. Today, a 🧵 of Scottish women worthy of statues. Statues memorialise in a specific way. They honour achievement. First, Jennie Lee, MP and founder of the Open University. The work she did as Arts Minister was transformative. Also = Mrs Aneurin Bevan. /1

Fire and earth and airplanes. 6 wonderful performers and just when you think it's over Cursed Choir rises from the audience to sing us out with a version of One Day at a Time. Magical, emotional satisfying evening. Deserves to be seen all over. Thank you.
