Haven't done the UK age verification yet but for International Cat Day I can finally offer #ProofOfCat - we're lucky enough to be providing a retirement home for Fluffball and Chelsea. Fluffball is a big friendly floof. Chelsea is a ninja.
A large fluffy cat relaxing on a sofa. He would like to know where the scruffles have gone. A small black cat staring suspiciously through the bannisters. She has been unjustly imprisoned and would like to speak to the management.

Every feminist I know supports their sisters, cis and trans, and their non-binary siblings, concerned with domestic violence, public safety, equal pay, employment protection, access to healthcare, and other discrimination issues. Obsessing over who uses which loo isn't feminism. It's bigotry.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

Weird little aquatic dragon thing meets his maker.
A photo of my sketchbook, with a pencil lying on it. On the page is a sketch of a strange creature, with upright body, penguin-like flippers, a fluked tail and antlers on its head. It appears to be staring at the pencil with huge, bulbous eyes.

"Developer Creates Infinite Maze That Traps AI Training Bots"

Screen grab of the title of an article published by 404 Media AI category Developer Creates Infinite Maze That Traps AI Training Bots By Jason Koebler Jan 23, 2025 at 10:02 AM "Nepenthes generates random links that always point back to itself.... Quote by Aaron B. The creator of the artificial intelligent website trap. Aaron B said. “It's also sort of an art work, just me unleashing shear unadulterated rage at how things are going. I was just sick and tired of how the internet is evolving into a money extraction panopticon, how the world as a whole is slipping into fascism and oligarchs are calling all the shots - and it's gotten bad enough we can't boycott or vote our way out, we have to start causing real pain to those above for any change to occur.

Today is National Day of Listening so here is a quote about listening, by Stephen R. Covey, that I have saved on my computer...
An underlined quote in a book that reads as follows… “The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply. – Stephen R. Covey” And I feel it is important to mention here that I was not the one that highlighted this quote (because I’m not a monster). Again, just to reiterate, I, Adam Sharp, do not, now or ever, go around highlighting passages in books like some kind of savage.

Lucy van Pelt has finally gone too far. But she will be brought to justice
Part 1 of 4 A Peanuts Comic. Once again Lucy has goaded Charlie Brown into trying to kick a football, and (as usual) she jerks the ball away at the last second, sending Charlie flying into the air. This time however Charlie lands heavily on his neck and is killed instantly. Part 2 of 4 Lucy kicks Charlie Brown to check if he’s dead. Which he is. Exasperated, and worried she’ll be blamed for his death, Lucy begins to drag Charlie’s now lifeless body towards the creek. Part 3 of 4 Lucy dumps poor ol’ Charlie Brown into the creek and watches him float away. Part 4 of 4 Lucy heads back to Charlie Brown’s backyard to pick a fight with Snoopy in order to establish an alibi. Unfortunately a disheveled, crumpled man with a cigar is already there. “Miss, have y’seen this dog? He’s best friends with a BIRD. Can you believe that?” That’s right folks. Columbo is here to avenge Charlie Brown.

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.
