trans reskeet with a pic of yourself that u love

While this wasn't actually the first time I'd worn a dress in public, this dress and occasion was new for me and felt so freeing & enjoyable.

White, tall and bearded non-binary RedhHillian dances on a pebble beach in the early summer evening in a long & light flowing green dress with white diagonal pinstripe. They look so happy about this.

It was referenced as something we ought to have being played at the roller derby game I officiated today.

And not for "it's 30 years old" reasons, just because.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

@showmeasign.online have you been sent this YT vid attempting to replicate the "slippery road" hazard pictogram yet?

Is the slippery road sign possible in real life?

I don't believe there's a "heaven" nor more relevantly a "hell" that we go to after living.

But I'm prepared to make exceptions for some people.

Watching The Prisoner. More creators should end their series with a finale that makes no sense and offers no answers and actually just makes things more confusing.

“average guitarist knows three chords” factoid actualy just statistical error. Guitar Georg, who lives in London & knows all the chords, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Happy National Poetry Day to all those who celebrate.

This year’s theme is ‘play’ so here’s a poem which plays with some letters. It’s called ‘The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Trees’.

The Problem of Writing Poems
in the Shape of Deciduous Trees

[The poem has been written in the shape of a deciduous tree with letters (or ‘leaves’) missing from the text]:

a comm n
pr ble whe writin
p ems in the shape of decid o s
trees is t at once t ere ar ives the fir t
sti rings of he new aut mn breeze, he
oems will begi to shake hemselves
ge tly ntil their letters loos n
d
like leaves, an
they
start
to
float
down
then

[The missing letters from the tree have landed on the last line to form the phrase]

turntomushuponthegroun

[The final ‘d’ is floating down to complete the phrase.]

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I know a certain nightclub in the heart of the Birmingham Gay Village, which makes the title of this book read very differently to the author intended....

Call me over-cautious, but the UK Gov seems very keen to sell data to third-party groups for profit. Given that the likes of Wes Streeting is chummy with authoritarian data oligarch Peter Thiel, the ID card thing feels like a data grab.

We won't get ID cards, but we will lose personal data anyway.

Post from David Allen Green, which says 'Bless those who think the Home Office can succesfully carry out a huge IT procurement exercise for digital ID cards for implementation before the next general election.'

Green has closed retweets to reduce noise, but welcomes people contacting him on this platform to discuss.

Depends very much on the value of the item, and the availability of it (or a like item) domestically.

If I can't get it here, then the cost of shipping becomes mentally part of the cost of the item.

I had heard of his organisation, but not his name.

I thought at first it was the obnoxious twat who baits arguments & fights in Piccadilly Gardens, to then put up on YouTube who'd be shot.

Apparently it's also not the "Change My Mind" meme guy either.
