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.

disability, bullshit 

if anyone wants to know the answer to "how much effort and time would it be to buy equipment you need with grant money you already have at heriot-watt university" the answer is "since march and no end in sight"

Is OrcID a hint at the fact that we're all just grunts in Sauron's army?

Wishing some dude in the 50s had written a scifi novel about a personalised-programming TV network and a manufacterer of devices to find attractive college students who bring down democracy so our software engineers would've been better informed about the risks they were taking.

I’m in this tweet and I don’t like it *grumpy face*

PL folks should prolly agree on a standardised set of properties, and require publications to include a table listing yes/no/unknown for each property.
