obvs nothing new but has some different qualities now that ppl are less likely to have left a het marriage/had kids before coming out later (& being queer is cool now?) can make it harder maybe to name the differences in experience & how they impact on relationships

seems to be lots of ppl around me coming out in their 30s (a byproduct of millennial extended kidulthood?) - which makes for some interesting dynamics when those who are 20+ years into queer journies encounter ppl the same age but fresh off the boat in terms of living queer lives

There are ppl who talk about queer lives & ideas - whether w. curiosity or hostility - like they're outsiders looking in. & there's ppl who talk about them like they're a jacket they're considering putting on. @yourewrongabout's Sarah Marshall's was always one of the latter...

1 August 2020 - Barry Sheerman MP tweets about "silver shekels" in reference to 2 Jewish businessmen. He deletes the tweets and apologises. Labour's statement: "Barry has deleted the tweets and apologised. He deeply regrets the offence caused." That is the end of the matter.

There is another way forward! At @mediareformUK we've got plans for a devolved, democratised, independent + accountable People's BBC. All that's missing is political will. #a-peoples-bbc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mediareform.org.uk/key-issues/a-p…

governments have always wanted a docile BBC but we've never had so many ppl in senior gov positions who actively want to destroy it. Now it seems like the gov appointees at the top of the BBC are also trying to kill it off

Insane own goal from #BBC to pull Lineker from #MatchOfTheDay & make it into the talk of the pubs on a Saturday. Combined w pulling Attenborough's prog from linear TV + discovering the Chair being involved in arranging loans for Johnson, its lack of independence is plain as day

With all this talk about @GaryLineker, the BBC & impartiality I though I’d share some interesting points from @mediareformUK’s BBC and Beyond campaign where they built a “manifesto for a people’s media” 🖥️ bbcandbeyond.net 🧵 👇🏽

@LindaHurrell @crisortunity And don't they realise that your name, gender, home address etc. etc. are fully identifiable to the state when you're in a car? And not when you're just walking about?

@crisortunity People are right about increasing surveillance of the public. But do people actually think they will be 'locked in' to a small neighbourhood in some way?

It's just really hard to work out how these 15m city / LTN conspiracy theories are gaining so much traction when mainstream media on traffic reduction schemes is so carefully balanced
