Very grateful to Bona Books for reporting on this with such transparency.

Simple truth is if you’re mad about trans people then someone’s lying to you.

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

22 years ago today I released Salad Fingers.

"The report, which tells the story of each child killed by Israeli forces last year, quotes Israel's top West Bank commander, Avi Bluth, who ... boasted that Israeli forces are 'killing like we haven't killed since 1967' — a reference to the Six-Day War in which Israel seized the West Bank."

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

They’re calling it the quote on British politics that ended the need for all other quotes

What is it Starmer thinks kids will *do* instead of spending that time on social media? Because last I checked we were a bit short on accessible and welcoming youth spaces and activities

Before it disappears down people’s timelines please as your MP to sign EDM 240 against the Starmer/Philippson transphobic “guidance”, and to explain why, if they have not. More than one-sixth of all MPs have now signed.

If the NHS won’t protect trans children, we will 🩵 🩶 🩷 We are dedicating funds to support at least 10 trans kids’ gender affirming care after the NHS suddenly dropped their treatment If you'd like to help us support more trans children's access to healthcare click here👇 https://goodlaw.social/nl30

"83% of LLM users could not quote a single line from essays they had written minutes earlier. When the LLM group was forced to write without AI in a follow-up session, their brain activity did not bounce back to baseline; the researchers coined the term 'cognitive debt' for the lingering deficit."

So like...are @universities-uk.bsky.social going to do anything about this beyond the usual 'strong words' and tutting? The sector is on the brink of collapse and the government are doing this. Are we just supposed to silently accept our sector dying? The damage this will do is immeasurable.

I've done this just now and I urge anyone who sees this to do the same I don't know what chances we have but we MUST fight this

One for Bluepals here in the UK: have your say on which animals should be on our banknotes. On the topic of finding joy in small things, imagine booting Churchill off the money and replacing him with a puffin ♥️ www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/he...

Red Wall discourse has so clouded Labour’s mind that they’re sleepwalking into doing to university towns what Thatcher did to mining towns

Our fight against the EHRC's transphobic guidance is more important now than ever. We will keep fighting for trans inclusion. The legal battle continues. Can you help us keep up the fight? https://goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/help-us-appeal-the-high-courts-judgment-on-trans-rights

THIS. Do I worry about the effects of social media on my 11-year-old? Obviously yes. Do I think she should be banned from it any more than young men falling into the manosphere on Reddit, middle-aged ladies being dragged into transphobia on Mumsnet, or pensioners radicalised by Facebook? 100% no.

Help a girl out? One of the best people and she’s been screwed over by the nhs soooo much. #fundraiser #ffs 🏳️‍⚧️ 💙🩷🤍🩷💙 www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-ge...

I find quite jarring the disconnect between the “gosh it’s hot, it must be climate change, it’s really quite worrying isn’t it?” and the “anyway, we’re just off to Thailand for half term, we got cheap flights, it’ll probably be cooler there, ha ha!” conversations.

I guess if anyone else could tell me how to install a Saily eSim on Murena e/OS that also works. I can’t get the app search to work in the App Lounge. I can’t even get a QR scanner app to download the Saily app directly. Hurdles at every turn (like I said, fucked off)

There is NOTHING I have enjoyed about Murena e/OS on Fairphone 4. I’m now trying to install standard Android. The phone refuses to unlock the bootloader. Is it because I’m on work laptop that doesn’t give me permission to grant access to platform-tools? I’m so fucked off every time I try anything

I don't actually give a shit if new guidance means *I* will get harassed more for using the women's loos (though I might, and there are other cis women who probably will). I care that trans women will be excluded, when there is no bloody good reason to do so. They will be less safe. That is wrong.

They’re mutant, sure, but not like *mutant* mutant. I’m more concerned by those Californian blue pigs www.sciencealert.com/wild-pigs-tu...

Great to see mention of ARPS/professional services staff in the news brief; a lot of hard work done by our committee and officials to ensure we aren’t always a footnote, or worse - forgotten, in talks about the higher education sector. #loveOurARPS #UCU

I feel the same way after Wax Heads as I did after Gone Home, and the riot grrl mixtapes featured there. Fictional bands ily

I finished @waxheadsgame.bsky.social tonight, and it was just amazing. After completing the game, I feel like I know these bands, I know this store, I know these people. The art, the original music, and the gameplay mechanics come together to create something really special.

I’ve just finished playing this. 8.5h of pure joy; loved every minute; I got tearful at the end. The soundtrack is incredible. I want all these bands to be real so I can be Girl Junk / Becoming Violet / Sister / Mimi / Bad Toes super fan goddammit. A game for music lovers for sure 🖤🎮💿

Hey, for anybody who didn't back Bombs Bursting in Air for Mothership Month via @spacepenguinink.bsky.social , the soundtrack I composed for it is now available on Bandcamp! Mainly inspired by Ben Frost, 90s anime OVA soundtracks and Gridlock, with artwork courtesy of @atypicalbreakfast.bsky.social

BBC News saying Reform have "come out of nowhere". No, they haven't. First they were UKIP, and then they were The Brexit Party, and with every incarnation, they've been amplified and boosted by the BBC, with Farage given record appearances on Question Time and other panel shows. #Reform #BBCqt

All I want to be doing rn is playing Tropico 5. Unfortunately I have to work 😭

#PIP Have your say: PIP review launches engagement programme for disabled people to get involved www.gov.uk/government/n...

Wait again. It’s NOT out? But how does it have reviews on goodreads? (Which I don’t use btw but comes up in searches for the book)

WAIT it’s out already and I haven’t known and have been angsting for like forever unnecessarily? GAHHHH

When do we get Alecto the ninth? :(

Public services are collapsing. Tax-paying businesses that could be funding those services are being left to crash and burn, because our leaders are too scared to hurt the delicate feelings of @BritishBulldog756857 on Twitter. It's ridiculous, horrifying and infuriating in equal measure. 13/18

This is why my profile pic is now unbranded. It’s felt uncomfortable for a while. I still stand wholeheartedly against the sentiment #CatsAgainstCasualisation which was the only thing keeping it there!

“if people are reluctant to speak openly because of a difficult workplace culture, the resulting evidential weakness is not proof that the concern was invented. It may be one of the consequences of the very problem under scrutiny.” vickyblakeucu.uk/2026/03/31/t...

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

Excellent, clear and engaging talk on reasonable adjustments for neurodiversity from Chris Beaumont of @thebraincharity.bsky.social at the @liverpooluni.bsky.social Neurodiversity Symposium today

Absolute classic of late stage capitalist civilisation that the true shift to renewable energy wont come from not wanting to make the planet inhabitable but because fascists bombing for kicks and zealotry blocked up the supply chain

39 Sudanese Chevening Scholarship finalists ejected this week from consideration for the scheme, for being Sudanese.

As Programme Director I met with underperforming students to get to bottom of their disengagement. Usually money or health reasons, needing more adjustments than a nudge. Helping disengaged students requires enormous resourcing (especially time), a resource overstretched colleagues do not have.

Pokémon Pokopia is out and here I am only just getting to the v1.6 update of Stardew Valley..
