"Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets" 😍

Another petition to get the UK government to recognise non-binary gender.

Just to recap, this has already gone to court, and the government successfully pled that it is too hard not to discriminate against non-binary people.

If you think that's bullshit, as I do, and you're a UK citizen, sign this petition to get the issue debated in parliament.

It's that time again. There was no active UK parliament petition about #nonbinary identities being recognised in law, so I made one.

To whoever needs to hear this:

Your blog is better without an image than with an AI-generated one. I came here to read your words — let them stand for themselves!

If you *must* use an image, and some soulless AI mockery would suffice, do this instead:

Step outside, and take a photo of wherever you are.

Include a lot of sky, if you can.

This implicit "here's where I am" is a better reflection of your work than whatever midjourney or stable diffusion would splort out.

Discord just announced a change to their Terms of Service, which restarts the clock on when you can opt out of binding arbitration. All you gotta do is read the "Opt-out" paragraph of Section 16 & send an email to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com from the email address you use to log in which states something as simple as this:

I am confirming that as of the date of this email, I am choosing to opt out of binding arbitration to settle disputes with Discord.

Boosts pls.

I hate using the word Fedi or Fediverse around non-fedi people. Like, anyone will hear you say that name and they'll look at you like you just said something very very different.

So I now I call it: "The Pub"
Because now you can be even more confusing with it, but people will be more understanding.

Example:

"Oh yeah, I saw someone talk about this on The Pub the other day"
