None of this was ever about Online Safety, not about protecting kids. It was all about control and surveilance.

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards
We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

Any other UK folks working in tech fields in a union? If so which one? I'm finally pulling my finger out and joining one after telling others to join one for years. It'll probably be unite as they've seemed pretty good and they cover a lot of fields but I'm curious if anyone is in any other ones.

@wotcmatt.bsky.social or other rules folks, got a niche question that shouldn't come up but I can't find a concrete answer for. A creature with a card Ciphered to them deals damage to an opp and the cipher trigger goes on the stack, opp responds to remove the creature. Do they still get the spell?

@wotcmatt.bsky.social @gavinverhey.bsky.social or someone else at #wotcstaff, was the change to CR903.1 meant to come with adding additional rules to stop commander players using Wish cards? Previously these were just on the old RC site and not in the CR.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.
There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

The MtG Community has raised a lot for TransLifeline, but as much good as that charity does, its a US-based charity.

New @dingusegg.bsky.social lore just dropped.
I was always wondering about the inspiration about this card. And today is the day to speculate on that. Easter Monday is called Śmigus-Dyngus in Poland and is laden with some pagan traditions tacked on to Catholic holiday with some duct tape. And egg is central to it.
