Phys health (—) sick

Really starting to get upset that I can’t sleep for more than an hour without waking up from a coughing fit and my throat feeling like it’s been gone at with sandpaper. I just want to sleep ;_;

Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”

VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

"your website doesn't look good on mobile" don't worry, im working on making sure it looks bad on desktop too

Thinking an awful lot about Sniperbots from Doctor Who. I think they’re REALLY cool and wow I’d love to be one!

(There’s a good reason why I’m thinking about them again; you’ll see in a few days!)

Also hear me out; Renamon themed Sniperbot.

Like, pretty much the same but robotic rena ears out the back of the hood, robotic winglets, left hand has three digits instead of five, maybe a robot rena tail tool?

Rant about fans 

Honestly I’ve felt pretty depressed about liking them because they only appeared in two episodes of the show and weren’t used in a great way, but the fan reaction to how they were used looks to have condemned them to the scrap heap; I heard that they threw most of the suits away, which really makes me sad as I would LOVE to own and wear an actual screen used one!

I was really hoping that they’d return in future but I guess I should get used to fans ruining things I like, lol

The UK has removed every state, territory and country that allows transgender people to correct their legal gender on a "self-id" basis from the list that they offer streamlined gender recognition to.

25 US states (+DC), 4 Australian territories, and 25 entire countries have been cut.

Nobody has even been accused of abusing the process. The changes were spearheaded by Kemi Badenoch for the sole purpose of hurting transgender people.

I appear to have been specifically targeted. In April of 2022, I was the first person to apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) as nonbinary in the UK. Though my application for was granted, my GRC was never issued. I filed a lawsuit on 15 November 2022.

Kemi Badenoch was made a defendant in her capacity as the Minister for Women and Equalities. She put out a statement on 6 January 2023 that she was going to update the list.

On 4 December 2023, details were leaked to The Daily Mail. They ran an article giving my state of birth, California, as a prominent example of places on the chopping block.

Legislation was introduced two days later, which even included a comment that in no circumstance would anyone be able to apply as nonbinary based on foreign recognition.

Of course, this is all circumstantial. 😠

Folks living in the UK who qualify under the old list have about two weeks to apply for a GRC before the change takes effect.

The UK's standard process is so burdensome that less than 5% of transgender individuals in the UK have been able to obtain a GRC.

These overly strict rules do not make anyone safer.

I have written up some more details here:
