If you’re doing the “trans men in women’s toilets” gotcha, 1) you’re making what was always a crap argument 2) you’re revealing that you haven’t read the UK Supreme Court judgment because it says trans men aren’t allowed in women’s spaces (because we look like men) OR men’s spaces

JKR contributed significant money towards a Supreme Court ruling that does nothing for cis women except increase threats for those who are GNC. Meanwhile, a charity for single parents (mostly mothers) and their children that she is PRESIDENT of has just closed their helpline due to a lack of money.

If you played that fucking HP game or still engage with any HP merch, please stop following me. You’re not a safe person and you didn’t listen to the message of that fucking poem. This Supreme Court decision today in the UK has been directly financed by the queen TERF. You’re responsible.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

yeah there's a direct through line between this ruling and anyone who bought that hogwart's game that trans people got screamed at for suggesting we boycott

Pig ignorant bullshit from TERF island today. I’m considering leaving for a more intelligent country if I can. Every single one of these grinning arseholes deserves nothing but discomfort. It may take 50 years but we’ll look back on this period of history with shame.

Holy fucking shit. 😓

So, The Dead Zone, one of my favourite Cronenberg films and favourite King adaptations is on Amazon Prime at the moment and I’m actually surprised they’re allowing it. In the current political climate it’s hard not to see the latter half of it as in some way instructional. 🔫

Merry trans day of visibility. I’m being visible at a wedding today. I hope all the trans folk out there use their temporary visibility wisely. ✊🏳️‍⚧️ #tdov

Was reading up on some household chemical and this sentence stuck out…”the toxicity varies with the cis/trans ratio—the cis isomer being more toxic than the trans isomer” 🙃

Ready for a #TeslaTakedown? There are over 50 planned for TODAY---Saturday, March 8. Tell Elon to stop stealing from cancer patients and the rest of us. actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Treating respect for basic human rights and dignity for all people as a "purity test" or "purity requirement" just means you believe a hierarchical caste system is acceptable and some people are disposable. I don't.

Since the IOC has created a rule for trans athletes to compete in 2003, over 81,000 people have become Olympians. Out of those 81,000, a total of 2 have been trans women & one came dead last the other came 37th out of 42! www.abc.net.au/radio/melbou... www.transresearch.org.au/post/trans-w...

Something to know as we dish out accolades to the top of the callsheet. Nothing moves without the crew. We deserve fair treatment.

somebody dropped this in work slack and I had to share immediately www.youtube.com/shorts/3Fzu8...

Doja Cat at the oscars? Sounds like it went down like a cup of cold sick, but I'm surprised they've forgiven her for the alt-right pick-me behaviour of the past. I thought she was firmly in the same camp as Kanye?

Bleh. I must have updated @warp.dev recently and they've turned on "AI" without my permission. Every. Fucking. Command now goes via AI. Ran a brew install, hit enter and tabbed away to check something while it was running. When I came back the AI was sitting there stupidly asking for confirmation. 🤬

Imagine the MCU started 10 years later, Captain America waking up in the middle of all this. All the Hydra stuff would land very differently I think. Tbh, when it’s out in the open like this I think we’d get more Nomad tales instead.

The one thing I have to admit I still kind of hate about Angular is the way it handles styling. Without using breaking magic like ::ng-deep it’s impossible to neatly restyle sub-components, so the concept of headless UI in angular doesn’t really work very well.

Inexplicably the sun rises again on the just and the unjust alike. At this point I’m hoping for a gamma ray burst. We’ll never see it coming.

Here's a proposal for using resource as an async primitive in Angular. Have a look at: ‣ Resource pattern ‣ Relationship to the suspense pattern ‣ Relationship to observables ‣ Future research github.com/angular/angu...

I do wonder at the inability of many brand accounts to read the room. Seems like there’s two approaches: 1. Completely ignore everything going on in the world and just post updates, so you seem detached, cold and uninteresting 2. Kill the owl and bring the drama 🦉🔫

Occasionally I forget I’m following some companies and seeing them post about how they’ve updated their product with the latest in copyright violation powered CO2 emitting AI crap almost, but not quite, fits in with the apocalyptic dystopian vibes.

Someone needs to do it. Tree of liberty, blood of patriots and all that. Would you shy away from it if you had your chance?

In unrelated awfulness, it sounds like the US wants to make it criminal to travel to the US as a trans person. I am very glad I no longer work for a company based there. 😓

It is so weird rewatching Batman Begins and recognising the reoccurring kid character as Joffrey from GoT. Takes some of the sympathy away from him unfortunately. 😆

I watched Borderlands recently and apart from the fact that Cate Blanchett was way too old for the part, it wasn’t actually as terrible as I expected. Pacing was all wrong and it completely failed to explain what a Siren is or why Lilith was one, but Kevin Hart wasn’t the worst thing about it.

Buffy’s sister is dead? 😢

Now that I’m back in Angular land I’m back to wrangling RxJS and perversely enjoying it. Being able to use “expand” to run through an array of observables and stop on the first that returns data was quite neat. 🤓

I’m reading now that Grimes is sharing Muskrat had bottom surgery that went wrong? That combined with the fact she left him for a trans woman seems to explain a lot.

Bananimals 🍌

I just misspelled boolean as “booplean” and I wish that was a type now. 🥺

Worst dogging meet ever.

Had the weirdest dream last night. For some reason Muskrat was a friend of the family and I was in a position to be near him repeatedly, and unguarded. This scene from the Dead Zone kept coming to mind… youtu.be/eJJYVORSP_w?...
