1. rest in piss you piece of shit asshole who wanted my friends dead and accepted their deaths as a necessity for guns.

2. now would be a great time to turn off autoplay of videos and gifs to avoid accidentally being exposed to the video and any associated trauma you may have as a result

3. if you post that thing with no comment warning and no context (especially if you're trying to trick people into watching it) I'm going to block and report you with the strength of someone slamming the mallet down like those strength test machines at carnivals.

also i find it incredibly weird how charlie kirk has received infinitely more sympathy and support from liberals than every single trans person, immigrant, and palestinian combined

the amount of ppl i’ve seen already saying “politics aside, he was a son, husband, and dad. he didn’t deserve this” is bananas. if the only good thing you have to say about somebody is that they had basic relationships that literally every person has, i feel as though that should clue you in to the fact that they just…weren’t a good person. notice how there’s no “he cared so deeply for people”, “he did so much good for the world”. the only good thing about charlie kirk is somebody else.

Once again just like when the healthcare ceo got merked we’re getting to see who society deems as valuable and worthy of protection and remembrance and who it sees as disposable. Violence towards an individual in power who made a lot of repellent choices is never acceptable!! but violence towards the helpless who are struggling just to get by in a world that the people in power have made actively hostile is totally a-ok and to be expected and not worthy of comment or censure

All that has happened tonight is the fascists have got themselves a martyr. Expect repercussions and keep one another safe.

Hey assorted peoples and hacky types... I have a friend that is blind, and uses RFID stickers on things in their pantry so they can identify the contents of containers. But the app they use on their phone for writing the tags isn't very good for a blind person. Anyone have any suggestions for RFID writers for an android phone/windows laptop, preferably free/very cheap (especially if it involves hardware for the laptop)?

Went to the drop-in clinic today and they seemed very surprised/shocked that my GP has not referred me to the Ear, Nose, Throat department. The clinic can't make that request so told me to call my GP an 'request' a referral ASAP.
Can't not think that it's cancer at this point :(

Management told me to install monitoring software on all laptops. Except for the laptops they used. Installed it on their laptops anyway. Can confirm that management do fuck all compared to your average employee.

@monorail @katrani coincidence? I think not

I want to share something I'm really proud of.

In late July, I came across a 2016 article from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. It discussed intersex women, including those with XY chromosomes, but the language was outdated, reductionist, and stigmatizing. It called them "genetically men," leaned on biological determinism, and framed their lives through a medical lens that undermined their dignity.

I couldn't let that stand, so I wrote to them. I explained why the language was harmful, pointed to current science and bioethics, and asked them to take responsibility.

To their credit, they listened. They replied quickly, acknowledged my concerns, and began reviewing the article. A couple of weeks later they sent me a revised draft. They had already removed the misgendering, replaced pathologizing phrases, and shifted the framing away from chromosomes as destiny. I suggested a few more adjustments to make the language even more accurate and affirming.

At the end of August, they published the updated article in English and Danish. The harmful wording is largely gone. The framing now centers human diversity, patient-centered care, and informed consent.

It may not sound dramatic, but these changes matter. Words shape how people see themselves, how they are treated by doctors, and how society understands trans and intersex lives. Correcting language in a piece like this helps chip away at stigma that has caused harm for decades.

Here's what this looked like in practice for me: I was assertive. I named where I disagreed. I brought factual evidence. I kept the exchange in good faith. I stayed open to change and supported it when it happened.

It is one article, one institution, one moment. Little by little, contribution by contribution, we are changing things. I'm proud that I stood up and made a difference here, and I'll keep doing what I can to push for a world where our communities are seen, respected, and affirmed. 💜

if you are planing to buy a freewriter of 700$, remember that netbooks are a perfect option:

• can be used specially for writing
• you can replace the battery for a better one
• small size
• good keyboard
• usb ports
• old OS so you shouldnt connect it to the internet, no distractions!
• sweet retro vibes
• it wont cost FAR LESS than $700
