Fun fact I couldn't mention until now: At the time Graham Linehan was harassing Sophia Brooks online, I was contacted by her former teachers and School Safeguarding Team to get her latest contact details, as they were worried sick about her being publicly stalked by an abusive alcoholic celebrity.

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity.

Things like this are never about saving money and they often increase costs. They're about making sure that disabled people feel a suitable amount of shame.
Rachel Reeves has removed Audi, BMW, Mercedes from the motability scheme because disabled people aren’t allowed nice things ignoring the better resale values and the fact cars like the Audi A1 and BMW 1-series are hardly limos www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/con...
UK's Motability scheme no longer includes premium brands such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes | Autocar
Announcement comes just weeks after chancellor Rachel Reeves vowed to axe luxury models from the programme

i didn't expect that court ruling to be just but holy fuck it still hurts to know that the legal system in this country hates trans ppl and will never, ever, rule in our favour on anything.
im convinced a terf could kick the shit out of a trans person and the courts would blame the trans person.

there is zero chance the Yankees failed to turn a profit in any year, but especially in 2025 when they were coming off a World Series appearance. If an MLB owner says he lost money, that's like me saying I can fly. You should insist on proof.
(I can't fly, just so no one asks me to demonstrate.)

Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you.
If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position.
The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI
