Handful of cis transphobes complain about he word cis being used

BBC: Puts in style guide not to say cis, notes it is offensive to some

Huge chunk of trans people + allies object to sudden introduction of a slur for trans people being seen as default

BBC: sorry you were offended but fuck off

Given the numbers of people that spend their lives alone, particularly the latter part, it might actually be kinder to prepare people for the idea at least a bit rather than just the idea that there's someone for everyone.

White fir, wintergreen (see @kiraskuro.bsky.social ) and vetiver. This smells a bit like a Nordic forest, bit also hash, like a stoned Borknagar.

Mandarin, ginger and ylang ylang pairs quite well with technical death metal, actually.

Was up late comforting a very old and dear friend because her disabilities have increased to the point she needs to use a commode now and she's on two crutches rather than a cane. I am in no mood for fuckery.

I was serious yesterday, anarchists. If you have ever wanted a textbook example of how to absolutely fucking plague a nasty engine of government, you should be paying attention.
somewhere, someone today at the home office is logging in for a nice easy day in the run up to christmas. and then the phone rings. best take a big sip of water! the biggest!
absolutely *incredible* update to the home office destroying jovi's naturalisation certificate, apologising, and telling us they'd send a replacement for free. it turned up in a "do not bend", hard backed envelope today...and it's for a romanian lady living in another city(!)

my work is never done

I don't think I've taken a nude since I was using phones with Symbian OS (this is very different to Sybian OS), but I'll reflash my Pixel on principle in a heartbeat, istg.
Fancy a digital chastity belt?

The government wants Apple and Google to stop you from taking or sending pics of your bits.

Intrusive scanning tech on your phone would block nudes unless you verify your age with biometrics or official ID.

It's creepy mission creep.

Chat, can we *usefully* suggest a CRPG with Frieren vibes for Mr Boyd please? I know for a certainty loads of us have actually seen it. As tribute, he offers an infinite amount of educational visa tweets and a level of bloody-mindedness that is both inspirational and aspirational.
"i'd like an rpg game similar to the frieren show" and people are suggesting elden ring, kingdom come(!), dark souls(!!) and witcher 3 and i refuse to believe any of these people have watched frieren or played any of those games
