TERFs lose in Britain. Posie Parker’s Party of Women receives fewer votes than the Monster Raving Loony Party.

A nice progressive move from Labour: apparently James Timpson is being given a peerage and made prisons minister.

For non UK folk, his high street chain of key cutting and shoe repair shops has a policy of employing ex-convicts giving them decent jobs to avoid reoffending. It works.

While I transform, you're
sorting out food when I can't,
tidying up after my fur shedding,
spending time with me and
listening to my thoughts:
oh these claws are sharp,
why is everything so noisy,
and smelly, and sensitive;
being there to remind me
it's okay, I'm okay,
just a bit longer to go
until I'm all changed,

and also sharing embarrassing facts like how I make critter noises while asleep now, gosh, I certainly needed to know that, thank you

(okay yeah I really did) ❤️

tf, you 

Staying in a castle run by kobolds.
They seem pretty excited,
and they do everything:
looking after the grounds,
warming the pool,
making your dinner,
(it's really good,)
tidying your room--

Oh. That's a bed of gold coins?

Trust us, they say, in chorus;
it's better than it seems,
really good for your posture,
you'll wake up feeling like new~!

And for you, genre-aware,
it's a hard bed at first,
but they're right,
it grows on you,
like those scales,
wings, claws, size... 🐉💚

Ukpol, rant 

Rishi Sunak's resignation speech makes me sick; saying he's thankful of the tolerance of Britain, all whilst pursuing some of the worst policies against marginalised peoples.

turns out on the google clock if you dont let the animation finish before pressing okay itll choose whatever time the minute hand happens to land on, so you can very easily accidentally set your alarm almost an hour after you meant to. whoever implemented this deserves to be shot

iVoted. Thankfully in a safe Labour seat so I was able to vote Green without worry.

I don't agree with all of the Green's policies (nuclear power, HS2) but I'm willing to meet them halfway because of their stance on trans rights.

I'm so sick of cynical hero narratives. your hero can actually just be a good person who wants to help people and there is a wealth of stories you can tell with that. it's more realistic than having to do mental gymnastics every time you need to justify your jaded misanthropic asshole doing something good for someone else

Since I was unable to find the restore media for this super cool little Vaio, I thought I’d see if I could use some kind of solid state media to replace the HDD, but it uses this weird CF type ATA 100 interface. I couldn’t get it to play nice with any of the CF cards I have. The HDD seems to have some minor issues. I was able to backup the files to a USB drive, then CD boot Clonezilla and make a full backup of the HDD. I was able to find a new old stock of the same 40GB HDD for a good price on eBay but only make the purchase after Clonezilla was able to successfully make and verify the image. Now I sit and wait. Put the machine back together. Next time I take it apart I wanna lube the hinge, add some epoxy to some of the hinge plastics and repaste the CPU.

Someone needs to do a cover of Ebeneezer Goode but instead of ecstacy it's about estradiol

UK Pol, SDP manifesto, transphobia and culture war dogwhistles 

Reading the Social Democrat Party's manifesto has be slamming the "Citation Needed" button on them calling themselves "social democrats" when they have an entire page about "Sex Based Rights" and the rest is full of culture war dogwhistles.

So, unfortunately, for the water companies, the UK Supreme Court has ruled that owners of assets & properties can seek redress for the dumping of sewage into their water courses (in a case brought by Manchester Ship Canal & supported by @goodlawproject). Previously the water firms had argued only the regulator could bring such actions!

So, the water sector could be about to find itself mired in a torrent of legal actions resulting from unregulated sewage discharges.

Good!
