@Bowsette At least uninterrupted sleep is progress in the right direction :)
Demanding professional references from people with neurodivergent brains that make it difficult to maintain contact with former colleagues is ableist.
We are professionals who do good work and work great with people but please don't ask us to maintain social relationships which aren't meaningful to us beyond a reference. I didn't want to stay "friends" with someone only because I might need them later. What an awful thing to do.

The bad: back in March, some French legislators introduced a bill to limit gender-affirming care for minors.
The good: yesterday, the Defender of Rights, an office of the French government dedicated (among others) to defending children’s rights, has published an official opinion describing gender-affirming care as a fundamental right, and decrying attempts to ban or limit it as an attack on children’s rights.
New blogpost: "What's the best laptop I could get for no more than £50?"
A friend and I had a small competition: what is the best laptop we could get for no more than £50?
tl;dr: I got a ThinkPad for £30 + postage, and I am absolutely amazed.
Obviously, this was a bit of fun. I can afford to take a gamble on it not working. And I was only ever going to install Linux on it. And so on.
But, all the same, wow that's a lot of computer for the money.
(My friend bailed!)

Why the fuck is so many "Tech people" (not only Techbros) okay with LLMs eating up the planet while private citizens, as always, are the only one having to mitigate the damage?
"Make gas cars illegal!" - "Double the electricity bill!" - "Everyone has to compost at home!" - "Hey look at this new toy that eats enough drinking water to feed Ireland, let's do more of that!"
@Nine I’m so happy to have some art of me dressed as Wagon!! 💜💜

re: upsetting UK transphobic honeypot,
@DarkOverord @PsyChuan The way all this has happened in the weeks following the cass report only shows that there were people in positions of power in the NHS who were ready to fucking pounce with anti-trans stuff the second the report came out.
upsetting UK transphobic honeypot,
a leaked NHS internal document indicates that any young people waiting for referrals to gender services are to be asked to come in for a face-to-face appointment, and that if the young person indicates they are taking private HRT and does not stop, will be subject to a safeguarding referral to social services.
please spread as widely as you can. if you know any UK trans kids, let them know.
@PsyChuan She really does!!! I'm so happy with this!! <3
This is who cops are. This is who the State is.
This isn't some anomalous occurrence due to the happenstance of a protest. They are like this 24/7/365, lying, cheating, brutalizing, doing everything they can to stay in power, and that's why they must be dismantled.
There is a better future ahead. If their rule was just, they wouldn't have to expend so much effort to maintain it.
Hold to hope! We *will* take back our planet.
