Throwback to August - wonderful, in depth conversation with @edincarib @_shaniakilah Andrea Levy's influence on our work. ☺️ @EdinburghUni has an Andrea Levy Scholarship for Black African and Caribbean heritage people facing socioeconomic barriers:
Last week I had the privilege of speaking at @edbookfest on a panel celebrating Andrea Levy ✨ It was such a joy to share the stage with @JedaPearl and Lisa Williams - reflecting on Levy’s legacy, her influence, and the ongoing impact of the Andrea Levy Scholarship 📚

Jokes aside, this is a shocking testament to the strength of post-Windrush narratives. Black people were living in Scotland since the 15th century.

The Supreme Court sided with FWS. But it didn’t hear from a single trans person. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years. We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️⚧️

👀 Keir Starmer's government wants you to look away as the rich get richer and disabled people grow poorer on his watch. Write to your MP + sign against welfare cuts:
secure.avaaz.org
Will you stand with disabled people and demand a reversal of this cruelty?

Changing copyright law in favour of billionaire-owned tech companies is exploitation of writers & artists. It's hard enough to make a living as it is! Thanks everyone ❤️

Generative AI was built by feeding millions of stolen creative works by writers, musicians, visual artists, illustrators, game designers, coders, actors, etc. It's not spellcheck. AI also uses horrendous amounts of energy:

The energy needed to support data storage is expected to double by 2026. You can do something to stop it.
