Loved presenting at #britsoc25 yesterday, especially as now I can relax and enjoy everyone else’s talks

Pretentious coffee update: these ridiculously packaged beans do indeed taste like peach iced tea 🤤
What looks like a tall beer can but is actually a can of coffee beans with a label that says “don’t believe what you see” and has a picture of a shark swimming on land “ORIGIN: COLOMBIA + ETHIOPIA PROCESS: ANAEROBIC NATURAL TASTES LIKE: PEACH ICED TEA & VANILLA WAFER Filter VARIETAL: THIS IS A BLEND”

I know there are so many more egregious attacks on our community right now but I read this statement from the BBC about the they/them raccoon and I am really hung up on the cowardice present in the use of the word “and” instead of “but” in the last sentence.
A BBC spokesman said: "We take our responsibility to our young audience and their families very seriously and take great to care that all content is appropriate. Everyone is welcome at CBeebies and in this case Wren the raccoon is not a non-binary character."

Looking at hand puppets so I can play wrestle with my cat without getting so scratched up and just giggling to myself at how many listings include this shot

Yesterday a Sheffield gp surgery notified it’s trans patients that they would no longer provide them with hrt, regardless of their transition status. I have many friends who’ve been affected by this, including several post-op, putting their physical health at serious risk.
“Unfortunately, the practice has had to take the decision to cease our prescribing and monitoring of hormonal medication in adult transgender patients. This is not a decision we have taken lightly but due to the closure of NHS centres including the Tavistock, we feel we are not in a position to provide this additional service. This is because of a lack of support and the work being outside of our expertise. The changes will occur from 1st April 2025. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause patients and advise that you contact your specialist care provider to seek alternative arrangements.”

Had a delightful evening listening to @reproutopia.bsky.social talk about fascist feminisms in a hipster venue with some of my fave people
The title page of the book “enemy feminisms by Sophie Lewis” personalised with “for drew, sorry I fucked up writing your name but my Dwight in meeting you here in Sheffield is none the lesser thanks for being here ❤️ Sophie”

Yesterday I made a new addition to my collection of 80s knitting books, it includes this masterpiece:
A model in a pink jumper that features a cat wearing a jumper and that jumper has “jum-purr” written on it. The model is also holding an actual cat.

Such an elegant way to heavily imply a mountain of nudes
“At any given time, Mangione is only permitted to possess five books, a photo album, and 25 pictures, although wardens can adiust these limits at their discretion. In addition to asking for a hold on books, Mangione requested that people send no more than five photos at a time. The legal team reminds senders that every photo is screened and reviewed by law enforcement.”
