bbc reporting this through absolutely gritted teeth. the figures are beyond decisive. 84% of respondents to the consultation had used the pond and a full *90%* opposed separate changing rooms for trans women. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Hampstead ponds trans access challenge dismissed by High Court
The current policy is that trans men and trans women are entitled to use the pond of their choice.

The wee hard drive came back and unfortunately it requires advanced data recovery which at a minimum will cost about £300 so it’s been put in the gubbed machines box until such time that I learn how to fix it

I hoped more people would have the “ I will not wear shoes at karate “ as a resolution this year but instead I’m enjoying the print on my foot from last night. This is not directed at yu @larichierouge.bsky.social but at other nameless characters

Mixed down 11 tracks last night and left the machines all set up to do more today. Really excited listening back to this stuff, it’s demented, mostly song based but really noisy. Definitely music that I’m the audience for lol

made a document to plan out the progress on the next album i am putting out. Still convinced it needs to be 4 hours long with about 30 plus songs/ bits of sound, but written out it looks mental. Also forgot that laula shaved my head yesterday and got a wee wtf moment when i passed the mirror earlier
