The agony of choice. Do I:
• Hand my ID docs to Bluesky for government-mandated "age verification" so I can clear this notification;
• Delete this account and create a new one that won't have this notification;
• Endure my autistic-ass brain constantly screaming at me about this notification? 🤔

Audible really advertising new #HarryPotter shit to me, a #trans person.
I mean, okay, I can see that there's no reason why #Audible would know that about me... But they could at least give me the option to block or hide authors when they're fascists who want to exterminate people like me.

The US "government" has apparently arrived on Bluesky, bringing that flimsy snowflake edgelord energy the current administration is committed to. They're mostly here to troll, it seems like, presumably in response to the #NoKings actions today.

The devil in the detail. Per the post, here's an attempt to make being trans/LGBTQ+ a capital offence, being pushed into Florida law in the guise of a harsher law against child abuse.
Because as tired and obvious as it is, "Think of the Children" is a surprisingly resilient political tool.

Winter reflections
(Nimue) It’s been very cold here recently. I’m lucky in that we can afford to heat the flat and also eat. Obviously the colder it gets the harder this is and the more people cross the line into not…

Presenter on Radio 4 just now opened a segment with, "It is, as you know, quite cold."
I can't dispute it. Though he then went on to name just about every region of the UK except mine as being particularly badly affected.
Frankly if it's outside about 2-25° or so, I really don't want to know.
