I feel like a lot of queer people forget that even DIY hrt is not available to everybody. especially to non-white folks since we can get in trouble with the law much frequently or receive harsher punishments

how do you get conservative (most) academics to see the problems with twitter as being related to the problems with our publishing systems? that passivity in the face of the enclosure of the means of organizing information only makes us all weaker, our jobs more tenuous - the very reasons we cling to the old system

so many fucking people were taking pics of the steamship we were on yesterday as it passed lmao

i waved to a buncha em and usually got waved back to 😂

i love that little human moment, like "hey! i don't know you and you don't know me and we have no way of directly communicating, but i'm gonna say hello with my hands because why the fuck not it makes me happy"

The perfect Star Trek Podcast title doesn't exi-

Chronisch kranke Menschen hatten ja gehofft, dass sich die Möglichkeit einer reinen remote Behandlung (soweit möglich) nach den guten Erfahrungen, die damit während der Corona Pandemie gemacht wurden, als dauerhafte Alternative durchsetzt.

Tja, zu früh gefreut, wie so oft.

Uns wurde nur gezeigt, was technisch und organisatorisch möglich wäre, würden unsere Bedürfnisse ernst und wichtig genommen.

Ok

I was one of only 2 women on a hike with ~7 men. We came across a big giant rock (~10 m high). Who climbed up it? Forget your old fashioned gender steryotypes, it was the women of course. 🙂🙂🙂

Met de trein, sporen naar de toekomst!

We’re looking to buy a place in #Ireland (because renting here is nigh on impossible these days) so I approached a mortgage broker and they just got back to me with this gem:

“Bank of Ireland will not consider your mortgage application because you run a not-for-profit.”

How bloody lovely.

Congratulations on creating a system that rewards the worst of the worst and fucks over those striving to work for the common good. I, for one, won’t be shedding a tear should it burn to the ground.

"Nice people made the best Nazis.

"Or so I have been told. My mother was born in Munich in 1934, and spent her childhood in Nazi Germany surrounded by nice people who refused to make waves. When things got ugly, the people my mother lived alongside chose not to focus on 'politics,' instead busying themselves with happier things. They were lovely, kind people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away." — Naomi Shulman

any adult working with children & yp is morally and legally obliged to ignore this guidance as it is so clear-cut that outing children to their parents would pose significant risk of harm to the child (violates Children's Act 1989, KCSiE and Working Together 2018). it so clearly contradicts the existing statutory guidance, and you will be protected *by law* if you ignore it

if you work in education you *must* ignore this forthcoming guidance, if not morally than let me explain why you should ignore it *legally*:

this is NON-STATUTORY GUIDANCE. it is trumped by statutory guidance (e.g. KCSiE, which still specifically mentions discrimination based on gender reassignment in the 2023 update) which is in turn trumped by law (equality act 2010, children's act 1989)
