Trans activists want the Trans emoji to be included in unicode. They have been trying for five years. It's not there yet. Only 60 new ones a year. Isn't the aubergine enough? 🍆 (There is also no menstruation emoji, BTW.) #VPROTegenlicht
Let's erase women, because we just CAN'T erase Trans people. 🙄 #Unicode
The Trans flag is pink and blue because - let's face it - it's about confirming stereotypes. #VPROTegenlicht
According to @teaelleu, adding that Trans emoji would - of course - save lives. It would? 🏳️‍🌈 #VPROTegenlicht

Thread from @ResistersU!
BUT WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT SELF ID?!
A common question, we get asked this fairly frequently. So here are some suggestions:
1) Write to or email your MP/MSP Make it personal, tell them YOUR concerns about Self ID.
If you are not sure who to contact, check here:
https://www.theyworkforyou.comand you won't even have to go to the postbox if you use this website:
writetothem.com
Not sure what to say? Have a look here for ideas on what to include (these are not entirely up to date as the Minister for Women and Equalities is now Liz Truss, but there should still be plenty of information here to help you put some words together.):

"But Labour have no policies."

I've heard this statement recently on more than one occasion.

It's time to set the record straight. Welcome to the Labour Party policy megathread.
Before I get started, I want to quickly mention my reasons for writing up this thread. I can only speak for myself, but I've felt that my activism has been too reactionary recently. Responding to whatever story we're being hit with by the media and being distracted because of it.
I've started to consider the effects of this, and I've come to believe that we've lost sight of what a Labour government, under Corbyn, would truly mean for the United Kingdom.

We know getting rid of the Tories is good. But why is replacing them with Corbyn better?

#History
Jagannath Rath Yatra festival is celebrated every year on 2nd day of shukla pakshya of the month of Ashad at Puri to perform the procession of Lord Jagannath chariots from Puri Jagannath temple to Gundicha Mata Temple.
Rath Yatra is also called Festival of Chariot. It is devoted to Lord Jagannath and celebrated to commemorate him on annual basis. The whole Rath Yatra process involves the holy procession of deities Lord Jagannath, Goddess Subhadra and Lord Balabhadra to Gundicha Mata Temple.
After nine days people bring the deities with Ratha Yatra to the same place, Jagannath temple. The returning process of Rath Yatra to the Puri Jagannath temple is called as Bahuda Jatra. The chariot carrying Lord Jagannath is called “Nandighosa”, and has a height of 45 feet.

THREAD: We have the AFP raiding the offices of journalists, intimidating our free press, threatening our democratic right to know, because @AustralianLabor and @LiberalAus have spent the last half decade passing laws that erode these fundamental freedoms #auspol
Late last year Lib & Lab passed amendments to the Espionage Bill which included extremely concerning provisions that (you guessed it) criminalise journalists for publishing about national security matters - even when they are in the public interest

Just before Christmas, Labor capitulated to the Liberal party and passed unprecedented, world-first encryption laws that would allow police to force providers to create weak points in encryption services (effectively created vulnerabilities that can be exploited by others)

1/ Lots of news today about Panasonic's cold feet at $TSLA's Nevada factory. This thread, though, concerns the Riverbend factory. Specifically, two amazing statements by Gov Cuomo in yesterday's sit-down with Buffalo News editorial staff: buffalonews.com/2019/04/10/aft…
2/ Cuomo claimed $TSLA is "ahead of schedule" in its hiring promises, but said if Tesla fails to meet those obligations by next April, then New York State will enforce the $41.2 million annual penalty obligation because "a contract is a contract."
3/ First, a bit of history. The Riverbend Agreement dates back to 2014. The parties are a research foundation affiliated with State University of New York and a SolarCity subsidiary called Silevo, Inc. (now Silevo, LLC). Here's a link: sec.gov/Archives/edgar…

It's the first ever International #PronounsDay! I'm so excited and I want you to be excited, too.

Here are a few things to know about pronouns:

1. Many #trans people, myself included, HAVE to out ourselves & tell people our pronouns, if we want others to gender us correctly.
YOU CAN HELP normalize this by doing a couple of REALLY simple things:

- Edit your Twitter & FB bio, email sig, etc to include your pronouns, whether you're #trans or not.

- ALWAYS introduce yourself with your name AND pronouns, eg: "I'm Danielle & my pronouns are she/her."
2. Understand that correct pronouns are NOT optional, nor a preference. In some jurisdictions, it's even against sex-based discrimination laws to misgender someone.

- NEVER say "preferred pronouns." It's not a preference. My pronouns are she/her; anything else is inaccurate.
