Metric-driven news has seen brands like PinkNews move towards a ‘reporter-free newsroom’, undoing progress the queer community has fought so hard for

Metric anxiety is fueling a dangerous decline in quality queer journalism
Why so many articles about queer people focus on celebs, rely on pics of hypermasculine guys and use rage-bait misinformation

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

NHS England has just published the updated Accessible Information Standard, which makes clear how NHS and social care services in England must provide information to blind and partially sighted people in a way they can read. It's a step forward - here's what's improved: #MyInfoMyWay 1/7
“Blind and partially sighted people have the legal right to receive their health and care information in formats like large print, email, audio and braille. Too often, these rights are still not being upheld. #MyInfoMyWay”. Black on white graphic with pink hashtag.

LGBT+ Sector Statement on Supreme Court Ruling
Statement on Supreme Court Ruling 
Today is a challenging day, and we are deeply concerned at the widespread, harmful implications of today’s Supreme Court ruling. As LGBT+ organisations across the country, we stand in solidarity with trans, intersex and non-binary folk as we navigate from here.
We need to take the time to digest the full implications of the Ruling and to understand what this will mean on both legal and practical levels, and will say more over the coming weeks. It is a complex Ruling but it is important to be reminded that the Supreme Court reaffirmed that the Equality Act protects trans people against discrimination, based on Gender Reassignment, and will continue to do so.

We will work across the LGBT+ sector, and with other organisations, to provide as much clarity as soon as is practicable.

We will never stop working towards equal rights for all LGBT+ people

Sometimes we worry about the mental health of friends and loved ones, but we don’t want to tell them we’re worried. Thanks to Murphys Sketches for the beautiful illustration showing there are lots of ways to begin that conversation. And what better time to start than today, #TimeToTalkDay
An illustration. At the top it says "Time to talk. Ways to ask 'Are you okay?' (without asking 'are you okay?')" Beneath are the words and illustrations. "Do you fancy a brew?" – two coffee cups. "Shall we go for a walk?" – a drawing of the sun. "Let's have a good natter." – a phone. "I'm in no rush." – an alarm clock. "Can I help you with anything?" – a washing line with baby clothes. "I was just thinking about you!" – bluey-white clouds. At the bottom it is tagged Murphys Sketches

This is why it’s important to add alt text. Because otherwise, your message could get lost for blind and partially sighted people. For Glaucoma Awareness Month, we’ve used a filter that demonstrates sight loss from glaucoma - however everyone's experience will be different.
This is why it’s important to add alt text” with a filter demonstrating glaucoma added. The text is black on a yellow background, but around the edges is a white shadow, which covers up some of the words and makes the post very hard to read and understand. On these images it looks a bit like a blur, but in reality people with glaucoma will just experience these areas as ‘missing'
