Hi @lynneguist.bsky.social - do you know if there’s a name for the American thing of using surnames for first names, and what’s its origin?

Polling basics is you don’t let your cohort self select like this. More appalling bullshit journalism laundering government bullshit form the BBC
Interesting thing to take away here.
BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded.
And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

I understand why people stay on services that suck but not Spotify. There’s so many other platforms that are 1-to-1 the same but with less garbage if not objectively better.

I am not a "trans activist". I am simply a trans person who wants trans people like myself to be able to live lives free of dignity and fear in this country. I wouldn't know where to start to be an activist about that but I don't think that's a controversial point.

Used to be when you had clothes you didn’t want, you took them to the charity shop, where the charity would sell them for charity. Now people with middle-class jobs are selling those clothes for £4 on Vinted and getting annoyed at the process.

I'm pretty sure that taking someone's prestigious titles away doesn't retroactively undo any abuse they inflicted on children, but then I freely admit I'm no legal expert.
