It's a warm day today! At the Robot Arms (and the bar in Null Sector) we have The Cold Tap™ for you to fill up bottled and glasses with chilled water.

We also have lots of ice left - ask us if you want a scoop or a whole bag!

Yesterday, 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.

Parents of children on GIC waiting lists are being told by the NHS that if they don't bring their kids to an """assessment""" they risk being reported to Social Services.

The Good Law Project recognises that the NHS are behaving unethically, and is running a crowdfunder to seek urgent legal advice to challenge the NHS.

If you are looking for a good cause, the Good Law Project crowdfunder can be found here: https://goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/nhs-cyp-guidance/

It's Bisexual Disaster Month and I'm making it everyone's problem

Don't mind me, I'm just getting a head start on the festivities

This (use `file`) is probably my #1 make-linux-easier tip. My #2 make-linux-easier tip is did you know vi can just open zip files? And like tgz files and stuff. To vi they are just funny directories. You can use vi to poke around inside zip files and read text files inside of them without having to decompress them.

My #3 tip: run `man -k blarg` (or `apropos blarg`) and it'll search all the man pages on your system for "blarg". If you forget the name of a command you can use this to look it up.

I think my favorite program in the entire linux/unix toolchain is "file". Did you even know about this program? It's on every system including MacOS and it's magic. You run it on any file and it just tells you what it is. Any file. I don't know who keeps this updated but it supports surprising things. Like it knows Windows file formats. If it's a executable it tells you if it's 32- or 64- bit. If it's an image it tells you the size and channels. If the file extension lies it just figures it out.

Imagine if you tell someone that a friend has started cancer treatment. "This is good", they say "but only if they stop smoking and eat more vegetables".

You never told them if your friend smoke, or what their diet is like. In this scenario, as a norm, anyone that get cancer treatment is told how they have stop smoking and eat more vegetables, even from complete, random strangers. No matter. Not? No meds.

This is not not acceptable, right? Anyone can get cancer, and even if they smoke, treatment is given. What else is important is between them and their Dr.

"But this cancer medication is ALSO an MS medication! They smoked! It is NOT right that they take this med away from people with MS, making their treatment more expensive!" would also NEVER be acceptable.

This is what people using #Wegovy face continuously. #Obesity is mostly caused by medical conditions. Wegovy is a treatment.

Don't toss "they also need to exercise and eat better!" at people.

They don't steal it from diabetics.

Stop #abelism.

I'm a girl with straightforward needs.
