1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

I emailed the venue I went to last night about essentially every single member of staff misgendering me, definitely not maliciously but it felt bad at an event that was supposed to be inclusive
I got a very nice email back about it so it seems like they're taking action which is always good!

Thinking globally, but acting locally sparked a movement, that has ultimately spread the Safe Space initiative nationwide

Going to a local city for a gig tonight and needed to get a hotel because UK transport at night to not-cities is merely a concept
I've also got some accessibility adjustments at the gig so I'm looking forward to seeing how they work out!

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Finally being medicated for my ADHD and writing a paper that's due in like 5 days is very surreal
I'm panicking writing it just out of force of habit, I'm literally fine? I have time to research these things? What do you mean I might not be trying to submit it at 23:55PM shaking like a dog?

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.
