Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years.

This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

This amazing article from @vic-parsons.bsky.social via @wearequeeraf.com shows the absolute criminal state of trans healthcare in the UK.

Scotland has a 224 year wait for a first appointment. Yes, you read that right.

cow tools daily @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social · 17d

The only way to win is by lumping and the only way to lump is by prongling.

edited screenshots from the show Game Changer. Host Sam Reich, with cow ears and cow horns, addresses the contestants saying, "Now, you all understand how the tools work?"

The contestants, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Izzy Roland, and Lou Wilson look back at him expectantly from their player podiums behind a table with 4 cow tools on it.

This was a fun commission. The person requesting wanted an imaginary “80 Page Giant” of Wonder Woman doing only mundane things. Haha! Honestly, it makes me laugh.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · Nov 10

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

This is a test; no action is needed ⤵️

1) Does UBI work? (yes)
2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

57W at one point, though I feel like calling a DB25 gender changer a "cable" is a bit of a stretch 😛

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
