The question is, do you feel lucky, human? Well do ya?

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳

It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!

Trans health waiting lists are a political choice

I’m just back from an awesome trans healthcare conference in Norway (blog on that to follow). Here I wanted to share information from a presentation by the founder of the transit trans health…

Given that most politicians fudge an answer or change the subject or side with the bigots, Zack’s willingness to push back, repeatedly, is a solid start. I’ll take it.

Yes, I get that.

<memories of arriving at check-in after it had closed, pleading with the ground staff and having to run with my hold baggage to the gate, cram it through a too-small x-ray and leave it by the undercarriage for loading>*

I have form battling unfair freelance contributor contracts (and winning 💅).

I *always* retained copyright. Always.

Too many people don’t understand copyright law. In the U.K. at least, it’s pretty simple (until the corporates start with their licence restrictions 🙄).

“Free to use”

Hmmmmm

I’m surprised the US is still considered a reliable weapons supplier tbh.

Guess it’s way too late to change this kind of order. But next time around? Hmm…

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Although according to that EasyJet link, glasses are no problem (in my case the 28 weeks training in Arizona might be, though 🙄)

Dreamliner Again @entirelyharmless.bsky.social · 1d

My eyes are shit.

I wanted to be a pilot when I was small.

Then I discovered I couldn’t see the blackboard at school.

Gutted.

I think I’d make a good pilot (aside from being like Velma from Scooby Doo without my glasses 🤣)

Dreamliner Again @entirelyharmless.bsky.social · 1d

Mood.

Dreamliner Again @entirelyharmless.bsky.social · 1d

Oh!

Ok. Maybe you’ve got a point, then 🙂

Dreamliner Again @entirelyharmless.bsky.social · 1d

I don’t think you can train to fly commercial jets with just GCSEs. Pretty sure you need a degree…?

Not a surprise: the (beef) burger is, by far, the worst offender. It has more than twice the climate impact of the next worst meal (Swedish meatballs, since you asked).

Surprise: continental breakfast has more than double the impact of a full English 😲

The menu on this ferry doesn’t show calories for each meal.

It shows kg CO2.

It’s quite the eye-opener (I’d quite like to see both displayed tbh).

My parents have fallen for a couple of online scams in the past few years.

I’ve had words. It’s all you can do really.
