i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...
This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading. From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community. There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation. Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us. We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.

can someone even explain what 'financial groundhog day' even means? it's not a term that exactly summons visions of a doomsday scenario
screencap from the independent saying without cuts the November budget will be a "financial groundhog day"

obviously this is about new zealand but the technology isn't any different and our populations are very similar
Indoor air pollution from New Zealand’s 523,000 wood burners was estimated to account for 446 hospital admissions for heart and lung problems, and 101 early deaths annually, in a country with a population of just over 5 million people. Breathing fumes from gas cooking indoors created more than 1,000 hospital admissions, 208 early deaths and more than 3,000 new cases of childhood asthma each year.

(it's important not to erase that she's trans because she spoke very clearly about wanting to contribute to trans visibility)
Why have you decided to go on the record now as being trans? Trans visibility is important. People have ideas about who trans people are, and I think that it’s best to broaden that. Maybe I’m also hoping that people who think that trans people are “less” than cisgender people might find themselves questioning that. The other thing is that it’s good for trans people to know that they’re not alone. I think that part of what helps trans people realize that they’re trans is to know that there are more options for who you can be as a trans person. That’s important to me.

you heard it here first: feminism is killing everything good and holy about british culture. ladies, back in the kitchen or you'll be responsible for societal collapse in the form of pudding extinction
Hann waxed lyrical about the sort of puddings his mother would make. “She regularly produced a delicious pudding after the main course – things like steamed sponge pudding with coming out of a pudding basin with the syrup dribbling down the side. There was a whole repertoire of delicious puddings. People are not generally making these sort of hot desserts but turning to things like ice-cream, yoghurts or fruit.”

why isn't everyone like my sainted mummy, staying home to steam a pudding for several hours with every meal

what made sugar more widely available, hmm? wouldn't be empire and slavery would it?
Hann said puddings were once a luxury for the well-off but as sugar became more widely available, more people could enjoy them. The 20th century was probably the heyday of the British pudding.

though i just had a moment of thinking, huh, steve tyler was only like 25 when this beautifully mournful song about aging, loss, and keeping going regardless was released

wikipedia:
In a 2011 interview, Tyler reminisced about his father, a Juilliard-trained musician. He recalled lying beneath his dad's piano as a three-year-old listening to him play classical music. "That's where I got that Dream On chordage", he said. Lyrical composition was completed when Tyler was 14 years old.[13] The song is also famous for its building climax to showcase Tyler's trademark screams.
