A bittersweet moment at @galdemzine today. The incredible @livlittle is handing over the reins to Mariel Richards and taking on a new role (as well as going back to uni). It's been a joy to work with one of my closest friends over the past 5 years

Well, are we surprised? Diane Abbott, the UK's first black woman MP, bullied out of her job role. Regardless of her flaws this is sad

Very interested in how the reaction to the Met's behaviour from prominent politicians and media figures differs from BLM protests last summer. The demographic of the vigil was v white and, from what I could tell v MC

I wrote about why @amolrajanBBC and the BBC should withdraw their upcoming programme where Enoch Powell’s #RiversOfBlood speech will be played in full for the first time on radio

The BBC must withdraw its dangerous Rivers of Blood broadcast | Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff

Plans to reproduce Enoch Powell’s racist speech are baffling at a time when far-right nationalism and casual prejudice are on the rise, writes Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff of gal-dem.com

Highly, highly confused as to why @TeenVogue is closing its print pub while keeping BRIDES open. The prolificacy of zines amongst teens / young people surely shows that there's a market for print pubs there?

Not long after Grenfell fire I had the honour of speaking to some of the friends of Khadija Saye. Her art still deserves to be celebrated. "She put her heart and soul into every piece of work she made. She forms the most wonderful connections with people."

We speak to close friends of the photographer, who made wonderful, deep connections with people and whose work is currently being exhibited at the Venice Biennale

Just three months ago, at the height of the pandemic, the govt tried to hide a new, scathing report which goes some way to uncover just how corrupt (and racist) the Home Office is.

What a nasty piece of work and what a way to attempt to shut down a debate that she has unecessarily and cruelly waded into. Talk of categories only further proves that this decision is was will always be steeped in misogynoir and explicit racism - there was no category for t

@paulajradcliffe Paula, I believe you do not understand what constitutes racism and should not be telling other women, ESPECIALLY black women + black women with intersex traits how they should feel about this. Racism and misogynoir permeates almost every corner of our lives

THREAD: Some tips on applying to @galdemzine 's internship! We've been blown away with the level of interest so far and I'm so pleased that we're able to offer what would have been my dream a few years ago. But I can imagine for a fair few people it might be a wee bit daunting.
