During the 1980s, the queen tried to stop Princess Diana's work in HIV advocacy, telling her to do something "more pleasant." But Diana ignored her, instead using her platform to tackle stigma and offer comfort to terrified people sick with what was then a terminal illness.

For the past year we've watched friends + loved ones be taken into the criminal injustice system, locked for years behind walls of steel, stone and barbed wire. For what? For fighting, for resisting, for saying no. For not accepting the police beating friends or strangers 1/7

WE DID IT!!! After a two year slog of campaigning against people with far more institutional power and privilege than a group of sex workers, we beat the nil-cap with a vote of 9-1. We are screaming, crying, throwing up with joy rn.
