Aaargh Trevor Phillips and Zack Polanski talking about the news reader’s eye roll at “pregnant people”: Phillips says if trans women are women why say “people”? Polanski seems a bit confused and says news readers should be neutral.

My hottest Star Trek take is that Data’s poem about his cat was actually very clever and sweet and his friends were being a bunch of performatively bored assholes.

The EHRC has sent a new draft Code of Practice which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life.
The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret?

Help! My Prodigy episode finished and Prime Video thought I would like to watch The Secret of NIMH. I can’t remember anything about it beyond a general deep-seated terror. Do I:

B) not watch it
C) Turn off the TV, run out of my house, drive to my parents house & hide behind their sofa?

New headcannon: Dr Noum is a medical doctor but after his attempt to make Janeway give up coffee, he decided he needed a career change and retrained in delivering CBT.
(I know CBT isn’t counselling, I just have a gut feeling Noum really likes it.)

I’m rewatching #StarTrekProdigy, and I think I’m going to go out on a limb and say Gwyn is my favourite character in the entire franchise. A brilliant role model for girls. We needed to see so much more of her.

No hospital is immune to healthcare-associated infections. When they are underreported or ignored, outbreaks spread. Patients suffer. Trust is damaged. We must stop treating infection reporting as a reputational threat. It’s not. It’s a public health duty.

Ok I think the replies have answered my own question, but I really need to know if the Americans are interpreting this the same way British & Irish people are.
