It strikes me that enough cisgender men have been attacked by cisgender men in male toilets to justify banning cisgender men from male toilets.

It’s time for the people who haven’t said much about trans rights because it’s a bit inconvenient and might cause tension with gender critical colleagues to actually say something btw

Well, I’m glad the EHRC guidelines cleared everything up. I think we can all agree that they are a much needed shot of clarity that the debate was previously lacking.

If you think someone is trans, you can ask, however be sure to ask in a say that wouldn't put them at a disadvantage or seem hostile or that is harassment. If they deny it, you can ask them to prove it, however there aren't any documents that would work to prove it. Hope this clarifies things.

For business owners, the important part of the new ECHR advice is this: 13.179: There is no type of official record or document in the UK which provides reliable evidence of sex. [...] Therefore, it is unlikely to be proportionate or practical to ask for further evidence of a person’s sex.

You NEED to drop everything and watch Walter’s beautiful floppy ears in slow motion.

You can tell he's a billionaire because no one has the balls to tell him that's not anything like what a fucking bat looks like, ffs. That's not 'dressed as a bat'. Everyone's just 'well done, sir, you look just like a bat'.

I, for one, personally thank Google for taking the time to ensure I shift to DuckDuckGo. Thanks, guys 🩷

The day a Boards of Canada track admits it hates me is the day I claim victory.

Man who hates anyone sitting next to him invents new type of train.

Things I will never fathom: Music in pubs that’s too loud to talk over but you’re there to have a chat because it’s a fucking pub My lack of ability to stick to a ‘no takeaways’ rule Probably some other shit

A “demo tape” can either be a “demonstration tape” which provides an example of what an album might sound like, or a “demolition tape”, where the cassette shell is packed with explosives and used to destroy an defunct deck. It’s important to clarify which type a “demo tape” is before playing it.

Lying here thinking how cool it would be to put a record on but not putting a record on hbu

Growing up, I never imagined I’d get to a point where I’d rather live in Australia than the UK.

funnily enough there was a kid at my school whose dad was actually Knight Rider

Actually very willing to help organise a YouTube series like this.

Actually making progress on the book I’ve been meaning to write for a decade or so now, which is nice. Last night I even included the phrase “soggy socks garnished with cornflakes,” of which I am very proud.

More optimism than I’m capable of but this dude is inspiring.

You know that feeling where nobody knows how to pronounce your social media handle

This is still going to happen btw, the genre will be called smear test.

Ok cool I’m all caught up see you in six months.

In other news, this finally got a physical release after 20 years. This is the second FSOL album I’ve managed to talk into reality, I’m currently prodding Brian to get some sort of >>Unrealities CD released. fsol.bandcamp.com/album/a-giga...

Is it a good time to mention the Mr Blobby: The Album listening party I hosted recently?

So @subvert.fm launched, and although there are still a lot more features to be added, it’s already pretty cool. Can’t see many people sacking off Bandcamp just yet but do consider also hosting your music via this co-operatively owned alternative. www.subvert.fm/enofa

Imagine a world where the “chronic illness is just psychological” line actually fucked off once and for all.

I appreciate following those remarks with several reposts *could* be seen as ironic, but that would be an incorrect reading.

Essential listening for fans of When Tie-In Fiction Goes Wrong. Two truly deranged books here.

"governments can't just change things quickly" wes streeting overnight decided to ruin trans kids lives for generations so maybe get fucked with that one

We call this design 'Kicking Random Man Up The Arse.' €5 from every sale goes directly to the World Food Programme's Palestine appeal >>> https://waterfordwhispers.shop/products/arse-kicked

I mean, there are friends I want to follow who have very specific niche interests I don’t share and sometimes my brain just doesn’t cope with 20 reposts in a row about stuff I have no conception of. In case anyone was wondering why I’m never on this site.

I see this place hasn’t added the option to turn off reposts yet then.

I know a lot of people from outside the UK who follow @pinknews.bsky.social to try to stay on top of UK development - friends, can you help spread the word? Boycott now - stop following them, remove them from your press lists, never click through to their website. Disgusting betrayal.

Thinking of retooling Enofa into an emo-trance-shoegaze project at this point. Who’s buying me a Jaguar? Only need be a Squier VM.

Crikey it’s a good week for ‘Internet Music’.

Hey everyone look at THIS. How did THIS happen. Let’s celebrate! If anyone ever deserved this kind of exposure it’s this kind and wonderful and stupendously dedicated gxrl! Also this now means I’ve done a split tape with a Warp artist wtf 🤣

This is the courtyard outside The Cursed Child in the West End covered in protest chalk for Trans Day of Visibility. Well done, London. Well done.

A couple of years ago I worked on some weird trance-inspired tracks It's my favourite thing I've ever done. Nobody wanted to release it, though, so I've put it on my Bandcamp for free. Help a girl out and share this if you get chance. I'd love people to hear it! enofa.bandcamp.com/album/like-w...

Some stuff I’ve collected over the years.

Doctor Who: Blood Heat. ie the one where the '70s UNIT lot are living in a Silurian occupied 1993, and nobody says or does anything fun or pleasant in the process. Contains the highest body count of any Doctor Who story, all on the Doctor's hands. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwsx...

We studied Wuthering Heights in year 9 English. I keep thinking that it's not an entirely appropriate book for 13-14 year olds. Partially because none of us could understand a fucking word of it.

Why can’t sweet potatoes crisp up evenly? Sour potatoes manage it fine, but sweet potato fries, you open the oven, some are nicely done, others are limp and soggy, one in the corner is completely burnt through. Terrible design.
