It feels extremely cowardly. But we won't give up: we'll find a way to make sure everyone is properly protected from these harmful practices01 Sep 2026 17:22 +0000at://did:plc:tkwbfy2ozednnrv6g4d4vcok/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhwova4p32khttps://bsky.app/profile/katenevens.bsky.social/post/3mud22q2ezc2pFinal push!

They have no place in modern Scotland. No one should ever be made to feel that who they are is something that needs to be fixed, changed or erased.27 Aug 2026 11:06 +0000at://did:plc:tkwbfy2ozednnrv6g4d4vcok/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu2pdfzbjz26https://bsky.app/profile/katenevens.bsky.social/post/3mtwmotvdit2yLast week I gave a short speech at a UCU Edinburgh demonstration, where we were calling on Edinburgh University to divest from Israel, and invest in staff and students @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social25 Aug 2026 20:08 +0000at://did:plc:tkwbfy2ozednnrv6g4d4vcok/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtwmotvdit2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/katenevens.bsky.social/post/3mtt5m4rnlv2jI’m very much enjoying getting to be the Nature Champion for the soprano pipistrelle, one of Scotland’s smallest and most fascinating bats 🦇 📷 Photo credits: first image (c) Gemma Russell/www.bats.org.uk.

It's crushing, what happened to Jason and what continues to happen to others, and the institutional racism and rising fascism it represents.
