One day before parliament was dissolved on 30th May, the UK government used an obscure emergency process to make possession of puberty blockers for new treatment of trans kids illegal, and punishable by up to two years in prison. [1] There was no parliamentary debate, no vote, and no public consultation.
The timing was deliberate. As parliament was dissolved a day later, we have no MPs, and therefore no way to challenge this decision as citizens.
The Good Law Project is challenging it in court, and crowdfunding £75,000 to do so. They have about £2,000 so far.

"Claims that the majority of the UK’s housing stock is not suitable for a heat pump appear to be [lies].
Research published in 2022 found that properties including Victorian terrace houses and 1960s flats could have a heat pump successfully installed.
A 2021 study found: “Homes can convert to electric heating at a cost far lower than the accepted wisdom” and “with no threat to comfort”. Additionally, greenhouse gas emissions would “fall very dramatically as a result”."
Happy pride, and remember the first one was a riot! Also, if you'd like one of these pretty things (i'm the one on the right, which, obviously i'm not the one on the left ;) ), Tylo is doing these for USD 20 monies, which is frankly silly little money for this kind of pretty! https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56865653/ for you :)
@mw1cgg these are called, as I am sure I don't need to remind you, but perhaps others are in need of the knowledge, faxilities

@wbwolf @the_gneech and after you're done with your space walk to do that, the wet wipe you use to get clean is then... a vacuum vacuum cleaner cleaner cleaner?

In the most glorious "fuck you" I have seen in a while, you know the book that Cumberland City Council banned because they're homophobic bigots - Holly Duhig's "A focus on Same Sex Parents"? Well, the publisher, BookLife Publishing, have made a PDF version of the book available for free.
Sure be a shame if it was shared far and wide now, wouldn't it?
Every time you ban a book filled with hope and kindness, and care and love, we will resist.

Oh you want to hear it? Alright, keep in mind, it's very much a test track, super raw and unrefined ;) but, here ya go :)
Oh yeah, I was talking about #polyrhytms the other day. Thought I'd show what one of those looks like playing in the song player on our #groovebox #zynthbox :) tracks 1 and 6 both play into the engine on track 1, because that's what I asked it to do. Long reverb tails and the like, it's all very lovely :)
@Plus_Ultra ptu in that dropdown has been a thing for months (it is not active, it just shows the entry), and eptu was opened for general access (wave 5) just under two weeks ago :) the "e" is for experimental, incidentally, not evocati, just to be clear there :)
Hey, what if I... set the pattern length on the zynthbox #groovebox sequencer by step? That'd be a nice thing, right? :)

@alttexthalloffame My much older brother tells the story, from his childhood in the 1950s, of my mother driving the car through the countryside and narrating what she saw so that her blind (from diabetes) husband could enjoy the view. My brother would lie down on the back seat, close his eyes and see the world the way his father saw it.
I think of that every time there’s a request here to include ALT text descriptions on Mastodon. It’s such a small ask with such a huge upside.
