The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar
new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

Dr Beth Upton was fully acquitted of all wrongdoing in yesterday’s Employment Tribunal decision. Yet she has been vilified by a toxic & poisonous media for months.
It must stop!
Congratulations, and solidarity, to you, Beth!

Thank you all, the update than we can barely believe we get to make.
To everyone who supported us through this last month, we couldn’t have even come close to this outcome without you all.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

So fundamentally britain’s bigots think the space in the UK is only for THEM. They don’t want to see any minorities be that people of colour trans or disabled or any combination thereof in their line of sight. Deeply sad people who can’t mind their business

There's a special place in hell for the ghouls and jackals who are using the Supreme Court ruling as a stick with which to threaten women's organisations, many of which have welcomed trans women for years or decades. It doesn't achieve anything or make anyone safer, it's just performative cruelty.

What many politicians don't realise - or want to understand - is that many of the "highly-skilled" immigrants whose labour they crave were raised by the same asylum seekers and refugees they openly despise. They take the racist political rhetoric personally, and act accordingly. Why wouldn't they?
"Record numbers of overseas-trained doctors are quitting the UK, leaving the NHS at risk of huge gaps in its workforce, with hostility towards migrants blamed for the exodus...the NHS is so heavily reliant on doctors from elsewhere – 42% of its entire medical workforce qualified overseas."
All those people, including current government, who falsely claim migrants are to blame for failings with the NHS, along with infrastructure in general, are in for one hell of a shock with how much worse things will get with Labour's anti-immigration policies.

In 1999, the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) was founded by US activists Gwendolyn Ann Smith, Nancy Nangeroni, and Jahaira DeAlto to honour the memory of Rita Hester, a Black trans woman who was murdered the previous year.
