Just got off the phone with my GP, he suggested that I self refer to the local GIC as it'll be quicker than waiting 2 weeks for us to meet again for an appointment to go through pretty much the same form, lol.
Gonna do that when I get home tonight! 💜🏳️⚧️
Long time coming but ahhhhh finally!!!
Those of you who knew me in the early 2000s, and knew I was trans back then (there are a couple of you), you were right. 💜💜
When we eventually redo the kitchen I want the appliance water points to be easily accessible rather than behind the appliances themselves.
So update: Thankfully there's only one leak in the system, and that's a slight gap between the sink bottom and the waste that I didn't properly cover with silicon; everything else is jank but otherwise okay.
However I do need to go out AGAIN and buy another appliance inlet hose as the one for the washing machine is really too short for when it's out of the alcove and is going to put a lot of pressure on the pipework if I need to get it out to turn the water off.
One job; plumbing in our new dishwasher, has turned into three jobs and taken almost two weeks (still not finished) because the previous owner bodged so much of the kitchen.
Had to replace the waste in the sink (belfast) because the old one broke when we removed the drain.
Had to replace the drain and most of the pipe work under the sink, which was frustrating because the pipe that leads outside is too high to use the trap I bought.
Seriously tempted to rip out the entire kitchen and redo.
Friends, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen and you should see it too. A guitar amp labelled entirely in braille. #accessibility #blind #blindness #braille
Yaaaas!

The thing I miss most about the 1990s is the feeling of optimism. It wasn't universal of course! Plenty of terrible shit was going on in the 1990s, but here in the US we were extremely privileged and genuinely feeling like all the biggest problems in the world were solved, just some loose ends to work out and the 21st century was going to look SO bright!
Were we naive and dumb? Hell yes, of course! But it was an intoxicating feeling, naive or not.
Renamon stream time!! This time we're playing Wizardry 8!

If you want an indieweb to thrive, and for communications to be private:
Corporations are your adversary.
The US Government is your adversary. (Cloud Act, etc.)
The EU Government is your adversary. (Chat Control, etc.)
The coalitions you want to form are among queer / nerd subcultures.
You want kinksters. You want furries. You want bronies. You want Warhammer 40K players. You want otaku. You want therians. You want juggalos. You want Sonic the Hedgehog fans. You want the cringe TikTokers. You want D&D players and LARPers. You want people who attend Renaissance Festivals. You want people that attend Cowboy Fast Draw events.
You can have all those without the Nazis.
You can have all those without any government's permission.
Without corporate gentrification and rent-seeking.
Both corporations and authoritarianism benefit from centralization.
Over the weekend, did you see the much-shared story on Reddit by a supposed whistleblower?
It started like this: "I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. I’m posting this from a library Wi-Fi on a burner laptop because I am technically under a massive NDA. I don’t care anymore."
Well, it was a fake.

The author of a viral Reddit thread alleging fraud at a food delivery company tried to back up his claim by sending me AI-generated documents. Today I'm publishing those documents in the hopes that it helps other reporter see what we're up against in the age of AI https://www.platformer.news/fake-uber-eats-whisleblower-hoax-debunked/
