I guess this is really happening then

A late entry as I did have a proper bed at Xmas, but I've been relegated to this for the next few nights. #DuvetKnowItsChristmas gofund.me/f921bd7c7

Happy last day working in tech to me 🥳

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too: "There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done." All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

Keeping warm 🍊

Released today, "Compassion through algorithms volume III" - a huge 55 track album full of really great music and noise from the live coding/algorithmic music community, fundraising to support Palestinian health, dignity and culture. Buy it today (name your price!) and bandcamp will waive their fee.

We told you about the next #SotB26 speaker, but is it who you think it is? The speaker who has published and academic paper on video games and player experience is Chad Gowler! Chad will talk about the current state of web accessibility. 2026.stateofthebrowser.com/speaker/chad...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but please repost www.drownedinsound.org/how-to-suppo...

Girl Guiding and the Women’s Institute have announced that they will now exclude trans women and girls after legal threats – but organisations can and should remain inclusive: https://goodlaw.social/cpfx

Dirty Three at Leeds Irish Centre last night. Lots of high kicks, rambling stories and sublime music.

Today the news will be about the government's proposals for juries. Please read this thread so as to be informed about the actual practical problems in the criminal justice system - problems which will not be solved by this misconceived and illiberal tinkering.

Imagine if someone got sacked every time something went wrong on a wordpress site! Past me would've been responsible for a succession of resignations 😂😂😂

Palestine Action: Police in Sheffield arrest 18 peaceful protesters against genocide as outrage at free speech gag grows 36 police officers were required to arrest the anti-apartheid activists, in an episode described by a local councillor as “shameful”. nowthenmagazine.com/articles/pal...

Still rolling my eyes at kneecap fans apparently being so dangerous that they have to search our bags three times in quick succession 🙄

Kneecap!!!!!!!! 🇮🇪🇵🇸 Support from Miss Kaninna ♥️

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

Labour: racism is bad, except when we do it.

Perfume Genius at Project House in Leeds. Amazing. I forget how heavy some of his later stuff is.

Halloween at the Brudenell with Les Savy Fav last night 🎃

Everyone else gets eggs when they go to the pub right? (At least the egg delivery wasn't in a vegan pub this time 😂)

Kathryn Joseph and Lomond Campbell at Sidney & Matilda. Really amazing. (And they obviously have good taste in pubs, though I was too shy to say hello in the Rutland)

Tickets still available for #FrontEndSheff this Thursday (30th Oct). We gots: - Alex Efthymiou talking all about routing in #nextjs - Luke Howsam on routing using @expo.dev Looking forward to seeing you all this week for a thoroughly spoopy time 🎃 www.meetup.com/front-end-sh...

Took advantage of the sunny day yesterday to walk the Dore to Grindleford section of the Steel Cotton Rail Trail peakdistrictbytrain.org/the-steel-co...

Didn't really know what to expect beforehand but I enjoyed The Utopia Strong at Sidney & Matilda tonight (photo even worse than usual as it was in a crowded and slightly pungent basement)

A surprisingly dry walk in the peaks with the Hive lot this afternoon.

Sheffield says #FreePalestine

Metal of various genres last night @stridentnights.bsky.social from Ogives Big Band, Pohl, Sleemo and TRVE YORKSHIRE KVLT ENSEMBLE. Quite surprised I actually enjoyed the live coded black metal 😂

Panic Shack at the Foundry. So much fun I may even have indulged in a bit of middle aged moshing.

What?!

They've already arrested thousands of people for holding signs, what more power could they possibly need? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

San Sebastian this time last week ☀️

It’s time for women and allies to speak up. To say ‘not in our name’ to the discrimination and exclusion of trans people. Are you with us? ✍️ If you are a woman and agree please sign @nionwomen.bsky.social 's open letter https://goodlaw.social/wu1u

Silent march for Palestine in Sheffield today 🇵🇸

The EHRC is trying to change the law, banning trans people from public, without even a government debate on it Please write to your MP to make sure this doesn't happen Here's a great template by Trans Actual docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Glad to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social won so decisively! We really need an effective opposition to the increasingly racist and cruel Labour government.

Got out on my bike for the first time in months. Made some cow friends on my biscuit break.

I miss the days when racists were no platformed instead of given constant coverage.

Sheffield trans pride yesterday, followed by metal bands in a very sweaty venue.

To repeat (blue in face): House in community - as for normal people Close mass accommodation sites and detention camps Lift the ban on work after 6 months if claims not processed Process claims Stop with the lies about ‘pull factors’ and ‘deterrents’ 1/ www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Mick might be getting a bit bored of me asking him for opinions on my dissertation

Sheer cowardice from @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social, discriminating against trans people and reducing provision for disabled people because they're scared the eye of jkr is going to find them www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/exclusive-tr...

Sooooo many people out for the Yorkshire March for Palestine today 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
