Students at my university walked out today, protesting the presence of a man I reported for assault. Several others have reported him also, but today he is allowed on campus. Reports won’t work, so walking out is the only option
Please RT and spread the word #supportsurvivors

Everyone has the right to protest, BUT not here; not now; not this way; and so on
Very distressing seeing this kind of behaviour. This is NOT the way to register a complaint about the @abcnews’ editorial output. Staff have a right to feel safe & to be treated with respect. Citizens in a mature democracy should not resort to base tactics to make a point.
life goals right here folks
I feel like if you do it right, there is no rebuilding possible. Like, there's a fella in Hollywood who will NEVER speak to or work with me again, who will walk out of a room if I walk into it ..... and I feel that I burned that bridge appropriately, correctly, and permanently.

Lovely to see this project from 2021 finally reach the world!
Our @Elgar Research Handbook on Disability Policy is out in the world!
Two years of hard work by 70 authors. The book interweaves personal narratives from disabled people with academic chapters which provide important insights into how policy affects human rights.

ALT Book cover. Title reads 'Research Handbook on Disability Policy' edited by Sally Robinson & Karen R Fisher. Artwork is a colourful artwork with multiple circles and shapes which fit inside and next to one another. It is detail from Unearth, a work by Jackie Saunders, a Ngarrindjeri, Wirangu, Kokatha and Kaurna painter.

This ad is targeted specifically at me. Dan clearly wants my specific vote. Still in a safe labour seat though Dan whoops go socialists
Endometriosis, pelvic pain, polycystic ovary syndrome, perimenopause and menopause are serious health issues.
And yet they go undiagnosed, or are brushed off as "niche issues".
They aren't.
And they need to stop being treated like they are.

Always weird to speak about this stuff publicly, but it somehow feels aggressively important that I do ❤️

Watching a lady at the laundromat fold her fitted sheets with stunning precision and hoping she leaves before she sees the way I literally *stuff* my sheets away like they’re a sleeping bag
(I’m doing chores today because I turn 22 tomorrow and want to have my act together)
