On this day in 1989, a gunman walked into an engineering school in Montreal and began to systematically shoot the female students. Fourteen women died.
I was a junior at the University of Toronto at the time.
I wrote about it on its 25th anniversary. https://tinyletter.com/metafoundry/letters/metafoundry-17-twenty-five-years-later
Listen, Hyrule Battle isn’t my game, but it taught me one thing: all I want is a main series Zelda game where you play exclusively as Impa
If you make access to hormones difficult, you’re not stopping people from transitioning hormonally, you’re forcing them to do it at great cost and without any medical supervision.

Free access to hormones is the only way forward.
People who want to transition will find access to hormones, either in the pharmacy or in the grey market. Cutting access from the former pushes people to the latter. This is as true for kids as for adults.

Venom brought to you by the fact that @bring_dk@twitter.com didn't attempt to deliver my package, instead brought it to a pickup point, and are now refusing to tell me which pickup point.
I feel that @bring_dk@twitter.com should probably rebrand to @pickup_dk@twitter.com, since they never actually attempt to deliver.
like sure google might be reading all my emails but at least I also get to read them
almost had two accepted papers withdrawn because my university apparently can't run an email server

We waited some weeks for the BBC to be ready to cover our legal action to protect the legal rights of trans children. And the piece is up and is quite extraordinary. I'm not going to link to it because it is inaccurate and gives space to a transphobic hate group.

I have spent a lot of time chatting to cis people about what it's really like to be trans and the fact is that most people are, unfortunately, entirely ignorant of how hard it is to be trans in the UK.
So here is a thread of things you probably ought to know:

Today it’s #TransDayOfRemembrance I will be remembering the 350 people we lost this year, and know about; and the countless others we have lost to murder and their own hand this year.

I have a series of deadlines which are all more or less equally far away and no immediate deadlines... my brain does not know how to prioritise in this scenario
