Instead of evidence-based policy, we get ignorance-based policy.
Deeply disappointing.
We hope Councils follow South Cambs example and ignore Reed’s heavy-handed (but ultimately impotent) rhetoric.

Four day week has real potential to shape a new improved way of working for us all. Especially those with a relationship to care. Deeply disappointing & maddening from the Gvnt. @autonomy-institute.bsky.social @4dayweek.bsky.social

Reminder that "Death of the Artist" is about how YOUR interpretation of a work may differ from the creator and your perspective is valid.
It does NOT mean "Well, they might benefit, but it's a guilty pleasure, and I'll still fund terrible things by giving the creator money."

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear
"Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks!
Let it Go!

I'm all for this. A good work/life balance should not be purely the reserve of the wealthy. No-one should miss out on spending time with loved ones or doing things they enjoy just to pay the bills. Life is for living!

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

At Care Full we support the four-day week for its potential benefits to unpaid carers. The government needs to catch up. The evidence points to too many positives to ignore.

I only did pizza for nine years, but after that (relatively) short time I got so used to the feel of dough that I could judge temperatures within two degrees by hand, nail weights without a scale, and get a full pie from phone to oven in twenty seconds.

I... never would have expected GOG to do a big porn giveaway to protest censorship, but hey, it's high profile enough to bring the site to its knees so CLEARLY it's spreading awareness.
This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free.

Hytale was nearing alpha release back in 2018 when reached out me and asked if they could use the likeness of my world-famous Minecraft character Honeydew in promotional material. I agreed under one condition - that they also add jaffa cakes as a consumable food item that can be crafted in the game.

Love and support for the trans community in the UK today, the supreme court decision is a pitiful regressive step for the country, which will ultimately embolden bigots - transphobia is a curse on our society and the UK's weird obsession with it is driving us all into the dirt.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
