Magic the Gathering is like cigarettes in that it's bad but it's hot when trans women do it

lilithblackmage.co.uk/post/creeper... spent the day relaunching my blog... by updating a review for a nearly 2 year old album #creepercult

Initial thoughts on the switch 2 It’s a switch, but more powerful. The joycons are nicer, and overall it feels more robust as a console, the accessories feel very flimsy in comparison though Will report more on games as I play them, but Mario kart is really good. Not 100% sold on open world tho

Man, I love Toby Fox

This is my specific worry about the current trajectory. "Why learn any of the cool human talents when a computer can just do that for you?" is a completely rational statement when the importance of the humanities have been overshadowed by the need for credentials and status.

What the fuck, that was fantastic but what on earth #doctorwho

In the cinema for #doctorwho Am unreasonably excited

just went here and everyone knew you. Or nobody knew you? Whichever’s good

Every time I check back in to whats happening in the Windows world I cannot help but wonder why more people haven't ditched it for Linux yet. this isn't meant to read as elitist posturing, more that every design decision MS makes seems to be to see how much more bullshit its users can put up with.

Misinterpretation of misinterpretation of misinterpretation of misinterpretation of misinterpretation of misinterpretation. 1/🧵 People misinterpreted the EHRC interim guidance because it was deliberately written to imply the existence of a “bathroom law” without explicitly stating it.

doesn't look like much, but after like 12 hours of work I've managed to throw together a very basic proof of concept with TiledMap loading in Go

ok, day 2 of using Golang the built in tooling for handling XML is a godsend

Review of Golang after using it for an hour: I’m really enjoying it! I’m not having the constant feeling of hitting my head against a wall like I did with Rust, which is nice Will it become my go to application language instead of C++? Not sure yet

there is a special place in hell for people who hide programming tutorials behind login walls on medium

Short blog on the EHRC consultation. Are we sure we benefit from participating? Let's not just get pulled into this. Let's decide whether it is a good idea. growinguptransgender.com/2025/05/20/e...

Amazingly, the wheels are falling off fast the false EHRC statement. goodlaw.social/2y7y

DIGNITY AND RESPECT!!! DIGNITY AND RESPECT!!!!

Today ILGA Europe have published the Rainbow Map and rankings. The UK has dropped further in the rankings to number 22 - a drop of 6 places. For context, just 10 years ago the UK was ranked number 1 in Europe on LGBTQ+ rights. Is this the reputation the UK Government to have internationally?

Ditch the entire front bench and all their staff. Hold open leadership elections. Roll back all regressive policy moves on immigration, trans rights, disability rights, benefits, everything. Do Leveson again but good this time. After that, I might consider voting Labour again.

as a semi related thing, at another company I worked at, there was a breif discussion of adding screen reader support to a large application they offered in addition to hardware it was abandonded very quickly upon realising that it would require the entire application to be re-engineered.

I am not a fan of the new name. "Pope Leo XIV." No. Pope names, like numbered movie sequels, should stop at X, and ideally V. If you gotta name yourself Pope Leo, make it Pope Leo: Resurgence or something

new pope! *crowd goes wild* American pope! *crowd boos* woke for an American! *crowd goes wild* bad on protecting abusive priests! *crowd boos* hates JD Vance! *crowd goes wild*

“Yep, smoke is white and onside, you can signal Habemus Papam, check compete”

I expected nothing and am still let down my MP is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard at the best of times, but this is especially disappointing

New Ghost record is actually fantastic Can’t wait to see them again on their next tour

the labour party are attacking trans ppl and obliterating our rights bcos they’re transphobic. it’s not bcos they lack courage. they’ve spent their first 10 months in office replacing our healthcare with ‘therapy’.

The Supreme Court ruling has had a clear effect on the trans population of Birmingham

There’s something especially fucked about trying to ban trans women from public loos whilst insisting on prescribing them T blockers that are also diuretics (And that’s without considering that the T blocker in question is far from effective for most trans women)

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

Sex doesn't exist in the same way borders don't exist in the same way property doesn't exist. Each describes a power relation wherein a dominant class uses violence to deny the autonomy of the oppressed class, and yet in each case the dominant class insists it's a real part of the Natural Order.
