I don't swear (much) but holy jesus f***ing Christ. One little judgement about one specific act and suddenly total erasure for trans people? This isn't just about stopping a clinical trial, this is so much more.

Fair fucks Massive Attack. More artists should come and stand in solidarity with Kneecap and the people of Gaza and the West Bank and call out these chicken shit venues and festivals and certain governments supporting the onslaught in Palestine. #Speirgorm #Irishpol #Kneecap

I can attest to this being the norm with the HSE. I don't know a single trans person who trusts the NGS. And from what I hear, plans are to make it even worse. #Speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/investigates...

They were already doing this for some of their courses last year. The Irish course is completely ruined, the real human voices have been replaced with AI ones which have their pronunciation all over the place, and in many cases make up sounds that don’t exist in any Irish dialect. It’s awful.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

I'm sitting in 'Who Runs the World? Feminism in SFF' at #Eastercon. Long discussion of how women SFF writers disappear. I'm starting a daily thread of reviews of books from a few years ago which still deserve to be read and discussed. First up, Tricia Sullivan's Occupy Me (2016). (1/-)

"To be successful, a European citizens' initiative has to reach one million statements of support as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries." Current total: 235,552 and only 3 countries have reached their thresholds. Ireland, France and Finland are good. Other countries, take a look??
