- Reposted by Campbell XI teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement. Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.
- My short experimental film (Untitled)2025 screens in the London Short Film Festival. It is an evocative incantation to trans and non-binary ancestors forgotten because of land theft, colonisation and enforced binary genders which damage us all. www.shortfilms.org.uk/programme/pa...

- Reposted by Campbell XEight people are on hunger strike, several apparently at imminent risk of dying, because our law punishes more harshly those opposing genocide than those supporting it. (And under a so-called Labour Government.) How on earth did we get here? www.vashtimedia.com/hunger-strik...

- Reposted by Campbell XRichest 1/1000th of world’s population controls 3 times more wealth than the poorest 50%. "The global wealth gap has become so staggering, and its impact on economies & democratic institutions so corrosive, that policymakers should treat it as an emergency..." www.commondreams.org/news/world-i...

- Reposted by Campbell X"The only way to stop bullies is to stand up to them. Anti-trans campaigners have been making legal threats, trying to force trans people out of public life. They thought after the SC decision the whole world would suddenly agree with them. But they've misunderstood the law, as well as human nature"
- Girl Guiding and the Women’s Institute have announced that they will now exclude trans women and girls after legal threats – but organisations can and should remain inclusive: goodlaw.social/cpfx
- Reposted by Campbell XGood
- Reposted by Campbell XYeah isolation is one word for it. Another is "apartheid".
- Reposted by Campbell XI find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

- Reposted by Campbell XAccording to Webb, it's scientists who support trans people who "have been captured" by an "ideology", not himself and his mates in the media who are opposing their very existence... if that's not bias #r4today

- Reposted by Campbell XReminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

- Reposted by Campbell XHardly the only time this government has let rightwing online trolls guide policy if we are being totally honest. This is rooted in the idea that disabled individuals should be "grateful for gruel". It's perception over reality as policy, no matter the way it reinforces the perception. 1/
