Spent this morning at the Design for Disability exhibition at the V&A. As is usual for me, my favourite exhibit is a bicycle. I find it moving and relatable that a cyclist brought only his bike when he left his home.

Travel Butter Homosex

Again,

Nothing but contempt for clothes that can’t be tumble dried. What do you mean you can’t be thrown in the nice warm cupboard and be tossed about a bit? Grow the fuck up.

“Where the fuck was Gondor?”

My boy, he is very Gender

Happy “day after eating too much food too close to bedtime” to my fellow acid reflux girlies, how hellish was your sleep?

And Tiny Tim, who did die... NOT!

One final report from me before the holiday – I spoke with disabled players who noted this year's Game Awards caused seizure-like symptoms and migraines. Some reveals like Divinity caused approximately four hours of pain. Read more here: accessgranted.ghost.io/live-perform...

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

This “family is the most important thing!” is one of those social norms my autistic brain has never understood, even before I went no contact with one of my parents. Like, it doesn’t always have to be about abuse, sometimes we just don’t like the people we’re related to and that’s fine

Why did you transition, wrong answers only It came for free with my blue hair

Gamers. It’s time

We really are a nation that loves animals and hates children. These figures are so shameful (via @natacha.bsky.social).

The "scientific evidence" goes to a different school, you wouldn't know them "Interesting" how this policy claims that there is no effect on trans men because they can compete with men once they start on T, does this goes against the Supreme Court ruling that sex = birth certified sex?

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, eventually became a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!

Beating up nauseating YouTube influencers can be a great way to pay for UK public services.

up there with this classic:

Now that Firefox is going fully down the AI black hole, what browsers are still good? I'm on Ubuntu

I've had an execeptionally tough year. I have no income or health insurance, and could really use your help finding my next paid project. 💜 semanticfish.com/2025-year-in... Open to front-end, full-stack, design system, & accessibility projects. 10+ years experience. Many more details in post!

One thing I wish I could explain to people is the visceral anger that trans people feel for the BBC, and the media in general, right now. Many of us still have memories of the Daily Mail monstering Lucy Meadows, who took her own life shortly afterwards. The BBC is now doing the same with Dr Upton.

Many of us agree that a privatised BBC would be worse. But the BBC is institutionally rotten and would need a fundamental change of governance and a change of management - minimum - to start earning my trust. We are way too far gone for just “holding it to account”. Fundamental changes. Now.

Trying to do a research playback report in Word to prove that we don’t need to use PowerPoint for everything and I am ready to throw my laptop out of the window.

Ireland has been doing fine with self-ID for years, just as other countries with self-ID have, and this is a big problem for some reason? Not that I expect much from a paper that ran a piece about less corps doing Pride right about a story about a Terf suing a uni and not connecting the two.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Legalise drugs and ban betting.

end the BBC

by far the funniest use case for AI is “I use it for powerpoints because I hate making them and nobody looks at them” because it kinda sounds like the real workflow savings would be to stop making powerpoints

Also screw the BBC for its naked agenda. It refused to carry a hugely expensive first ever YouGov survey we commissioned showing how awful trans lives in the UK have become because it was "not strong enough" but there's no piece of anti-trans hatred too petty for it to platform.

this is genius, like appending company names to your email address when you sign up to stuff but for real life. if anyone ever asks my deadname i will tell them their own name back to them to help me remember who is leaking what

He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows you would taste really good So be ready with your stake Oh You'd better not shout You'd better not cry He's moving to London, he's sexy and bi Dracula is coming to town

It's a lovely 6th Day of Christmas at my true love's house, and you are six horrible geese

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

There’s no excuse for AI, and once again I’m bitterly disappointed that something I love has betrayed me. This game was obviously made with such love and it’s hard to square that to be honest. I’m not on board with this weird glee some folks have, this game means a lot to folks even if you hate it.

It's your birthday, Duane.

That's it I'm taking AFAB and AMAB and putting them up on the high shelf until people prove they can be trusted not to abuse them.

Throwback to 1998, when Rupert Murdoch forced Harper Collins to drop Chris Patten's book because it might have criticised the Chinese government, who Murdoch wanted to be on good terms with news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6287...

I'm glad he's been dropped, but the senior staff involved should resign. They hid, enabled & normalised his behaviour, which targeted staff in poorly paid, very competitive entry level positions who had zero power & knew that any pushback would likely threaten their entire careers.

David Walliams' reputation was an open secret, junior staff were told to meet him in pairs & never visit his home, yet HarperCollins only dropped him when a Telegraph investigation came out. The problem is not just him. HarperCollins knowingly promoted & funded a guy sexually harassing junior staff.

Marketing a handheld console on the apparent sensorial pleasures of it being made from the same metal as an attack drone. Absolutely ghoulish

EXCLUSIVE The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”. Clarity should not come at the cost of dignity. #bbc #humanrights #journalism #transparency #transrights

We also suggest you email your GIC the following to ensure your opt-out is clear and ask to have a note of this added to your care record.

This can be done via the following links, the first to stop GP records being shared and the second to stop secondary care records being shared: www.nhs.uk/using-the-nh... digital.nhs.uk/services/nat...

In light of this, Trans Safety Network strongly suggests all transgender people in England consider opting out of their healthcare data being used for research.
