Full on ugly cried for like 5 minutes after reading this. If me being out and achieving things makes even one trans person feel more able to come out and be themselves... that is just... everything

One of my first questions to meetings of student journalists is - hands up who bought a newspaper this morning, this week, this month? Why would you want a job in an industry for which you are unprepared to pay any money for the end product? xitter.cf/edconwaysky/status/997…

It's been wonderful! LNUG are such a fantastic group and have been amazing guests. xitter.cf/LNUGorg/status/9859083…
For the last 2 years every month LNUG meetup has been at Makers Academy and they have been brilliant hosts. The move this month is for a fresh change. Watch here for future events in partnership with Makers. Meanwhile thanks @makersacademy for a brilliant 2 years so far!!
