Good news: my PC is in its new case which is big enough to support my new GPU Bad news: my PSU doesn’t support my new GPU

My very personal reaction to the concept of gen AI is, "Why would I need it when I'm better than it?"

This is 'trans widow' shit.

I missed this and now I want to punch my laptop screen. archive.ph/W8NCV

“why do you hate technology” as though “technology” were some discrete entity divorced entirely from the context of what it does and what it creates, rather than a category so broad as to constitute reality itself

“the other guys hate technology!!” says the side that wants to make it illegal to use the technology that keeps you from dying of polio

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions. They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

They bully trans people into oblivion, then create a paradigm whereby they can "crackdown aggressively" on a bunch of innocent people when somr maniac snaps, and if those innocent people resist the abuse in any way, that is proof of their innate aggression and reason for further elimination.

you didnt beg me or force me to engage with my laptop or my cell phone or my ps5, i willingly engaged with those things bc they were useful and/or fun

“the left wont engage with ai,” dude all i did was take a look at the numbers and they dont work and you cant make me pretend they do

It's incredible how it was revealed that the anti-trans push over the past decade was concocted in no small part by a literal PEDOPHILE CONSPIRACY and the reaction of transphobic lawmakers, journalists, academics has been a shrug and a "well, we gotta carry out the orders from pedophile island"

Oh, look at that, a man threatening to enter the ladies to do violence to a woman, but he's not the danger for some weird reason

I always thought being aro meant no romantic feelings ever No wonder it took me ages to accept being aro spec That’s why it’s vital to show all aro experiences in stories So, Grab this amazing Aro Awareness Week bundle Includes my 1920s fantasy featuring two aro/ace MCs itch.io/b/3517/aroma...

i had a coworker who didnt eat peanuts because it was 'feminizing' and i told him if that were true trans women wouldnt bother with buying estrogen and he didnt seem to like that. cis people need their irrational beliefs about hormones i guess

In case anyone was additionally wondering, yes trans women have tried plant estrogens, soy products, wild yam root and all the other "feminising" things available to bypass medical gatekeeping and none of it was very effective. The feminising power of scare mongering bullshit is not worth bothering.

This is a typical threat of assault that a trans person regularly receives (just for being trans). Police, media and government ignore these direct threats. He's all talk though. The coward would run and hide if he saw me.

Doctors at Barts Health are developing new education course to improve sensitive communication with trans patients using role play scenarios. This will be rolled out to medical students at Queen Mary University of London and doctors at Barts Health NHS Trust.

as mister yoda once said: gossip leads to outting. outting leads to a billionaire-backed court case. a billionaire-backed court case leads to daily harassment from all angles of the UK press. daily harassment from all angles of the UK press leads to…

Beth Upton was literally just hounded out of the NHS.

#SupremeCourt #EHRC #Clarity I would tend to think that being outed would be explained as "accuracy," and "clarity." Falkner explicitly stated that she did not think that trans people are covered by Article 8 rights.

NY enshrined protections for trans people into its constitution via the ballot in 2024. This is why the Skrmetti decision was gaslighting bullshit because they were never going to let trans youth access healthcare even when their "democratic process" explicitly chose to protect access.

How I feel when I tell a persecuted minority to vote for Labour because 'Reform will be worse'

I can't believe I have to get this meme out again (I lied, I can get this meme out multiple times a day)

I studied over 400 hate-ridden headlines from The Telegraph about the Trans+ community and what emerged was a new artwork currently exhibiting in Brixton. This is ‘The Telegraph’s Phantasm, 2026’ CW: lots of nastiness

Two of my closest friends in the world are moving somewhere safer and less transphobic and have a place lined up, but the moving costs are higher than expected, anything you could share would be so helpful! ko-fi.com/theleftistco...

FOI reveals the EHRC holds zero minutes of meetings with trans-led organisations in the past 5 years. This is the UK’s 'equality' regulator. Trans voices are not important enough for the EHRC to keep a record of what was said. This should be a headline in all the papers.

This blanket banning of trans women and girls approach, is disproportionate, it often based on prejudice, & it lacks a solid scientific basis, and fails to respect the fundamental rights of individuals.

The Belgian court ruled in favour of a trans woman cyclist who filed a lawsuit against the @UCI_cycling after she was banned from racing in the female category. Now, she can get her licence back.

🗣️ Jolyon Maugham @goodlawproject.org said it is “deeply troubling” to “wave away as ‘workplace gossip’ evidence of what it means to be outed in an increasingly transphobic and violent society.” "I urge the judiciary to listen harder to what trans people say about what their lives have become."

Worth noting that this risk of outing was one of the features that won Goodwin v UK in the European court of human rights. It's treatment institutionally that can cause outing that resulted in the UK losing against Christine Goodwin and being forced to implement the gender recognition act.

EU courts ruling that trans women are women and should be included in sports while in the UK the High Court is ruling that forcing trans people to come out in the workplace just to use the toilet is nothing more than 'gossip' that everybody has to deal with at some point so suck it up.

Women with nose rings are hot af Post

this is the ideological cause of these shootings btw. not transness. in case that wasn't clear enough.

95% of school shooters are cis men. So the question needs to be reversed, is a lack of cross-sex hormones driving cis male shooters to kill…?

One of my fav gags is in movies set in the past and they have a character be like, “Apple? I invested all my money in BlackBerry. BlackBerry phones will be the future”

I don't know how you can honestly look at the last 7 years of thousands of anti-trans bills, a billion in anti-trans spending, laser focus by right wing think tanks, and billionaires personally engaged in the effort and think that all of this is a backlash to some trans people being mean online.

The anti-trans side made bomb threats to children's hospitals. They spent a billion dollars messaging this over the last 7 years while the Dems mostly stayed silent or ducked away. But somehow, they always seem to blame trans people for their own persecution. archive.ph/E2pfS

Gotta love how much of the Earth’s emergency end of day spending went into slick motion graphics in the new Fantastic Four film

I wonder who could possibly be buying up petabytes of storage. Data centres worth of components. I wonder what that's about.

Fuck gaming and frankly gamers, you'll have to sit on last year's machine folks, we're going to be facing a serious crisis in ability to service basic hospital infrastructure.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

a) public opinion has shifted on this stuff before and it can shift back b) even if polling is shifting against trans folks evidence is pretty convincing that going all in on anti-trans rhetoric is not winning elections for the GOP c) who cares what polling says trans rights are human rights

So, in spite of the fact that I changed my name, NHS number and everything and had those new details on my referral to the NHS gender services, they are instead opting to use all my old, out of date details on everything (including deadnaming me) Thanks, I guess

Looked at my body in the mirror last night and felt huge joy. Like this is my life now. This is my body. And I get to live in it Wild feeling

This is the kind of thing that the likes of Cass wish to resurrect, and if anyone is naive enough to think it'll just be used against trans people, and not broadly against all LGBTQ people, they're absolute mugs of the highest order because that's exactly how it started first time around.

*ALL* gay conversion therapy started as trans conversion therapy. All of it. There is no distinction between one or the other because it is the same thing. To directly quote Rekers, it was "...a basis for the primary prevention of adult transsexualism or similar adult sex-role deviation."

I’ve been in trans activism since the early 1990s. Things are always 5-10 years down the line Is it any wonder I’m so tired?
