I don’t think I ever showed this? Can’t remember where I got it from but I love it! I am furry trash and I’m not ashamed 💛💜

Hello good morning wolf side is taking a break so I’m Renamon! 💛💜💋

@juniper heck!!!!!!!

I am a wolf and also a renamon 💛​💜​

@vulpine I do wonder though if they’ve just been kinda gaslit by the fact that there are loads of deed poll companies that charge for something that’s free and they assume that you need something from them for it to be legal?

@vulpine Thankfully it’s only happened to me with the council and this website; my employer and the passport office accepted it without question.

I guess as I’ve only started doing this recently I’ve got no experience of what it has been like before. Might start getting printouts of the actual website to give to people who don’t know the process.

The reason I bring this up is I’ve just had to do this again. Changed my name on an online portal, support team emails me asking for the official deed poll and I email them back with the same document and clarify the govs own directions and I’ve now received an email saying that it’s been accepted and my name has been updated.

Know your rights!

I’m not joking, you can write a deed poll on a napkin and as long as it has the correct wording and is signed and witnessed by two people who know you it is a legal document.

An enrolled deed poll is the exact same except you’ve asked for it to be published in the London Gazette, and only a few specific places require that (and they’ll ask for it).

I’ve changed the name on my passport with my free unenrolled deed poll, no issues.

The main issue I’ve experienced with changing my name has been people who have rejected my deed poll based on an assumption that it needs to be notarised or come from an official government body like “the deed poll office” (no such government department, it’s a private company). We end up in a back and forth dance with me having to show them the actual government guidance for deed polls and how they all work.

They’re free unless you need an enrolled one.

I’ve been a bit introspective over the last few days as to why I want to do this project. Part of it is that it’s fun and interesting, but the other part is that I’m now getting sick of current broadcast TV as well as algorithmic streaming. Places like YouTube are starting to feel more like TV in how they are pushing stuff that I have zero interest in.

This whole project will let me choose what shows I want to watch and then give them to me like broadcast TV of old.
