This hits really hard.

It's also (unexpectedly) a really useful explanation of the way that trans experiences have been pathologised in very specific ways (and why that happened).

Whether you're trans or an ally, I highly recommend putting 10 minutes aside to read it.

Do it.

Search your name.

Take their money.

It’s yours anyway.
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Apropos of nothing, if you buy a product that has an IP tie in you directly finance the owner of that IP.

If that owner spends their money and time funding hate, then by supporting them you are also funding hate.

Don’t fund oppressors.

With 38 hrs to go to the EHRC consultation deadline I'm seeing posts from people feeling bad they're too stressed to engage.
The GLP⬇️has removed all but the last step, a general comment box. This is a far easier task. I hope it helps those who want to, to get their voice heard without too much pain.
How to respond to the EHRC consultation
Good Law Project has taken advice from a leading public law King’s Counsel on how to respond to the EHRC’s consultation. What follows is a form which, after you complete it, will automatically be sent...

I was going to try to put up a shirt of this (and donate the proceeds to charity) but trying to do literally anything on the internet is so bad now I'm going to feed my macbook into a woodchipper and think longingly about the day the sun finally consumes the inner planets.

Why do some have a shit time with LLMs for programming while others love it?

To succeed, the latter group tacitly creates tons of scaffolding and gain weird new skills. While it works, this posts explains how doing all that is an incidental consequence of bad interaction design in coding AI agents.

I'm watching the Parliamentary debate about the self-ID e-petition and my JAW IS ON THE FLOOR.
The MPs speaking are hitting ALL the key pro-trans talking points:
- transphobic bias in EHRC
- nightmare of SC ruling
- toilet bans are awful
- must hear trans voices
- IGLA rainbow map

I feel like the more men centre the opinions of women and decentre the opinions of other men, a lot of their body image issues inherently lessen.

I believe the left needs to *embrace* the aesthetic values of the goblin hoard rather than being embarrassed by it. Yes, we're fighting each other as much as the enemy. We are a wall of teeth and claws and nobody is the same and that is good and right and beautiful.

First Post! Really glad with how this Darkoath Cheiftan on Fell Steed came out. A slightly crowded model, but very strong Frazetta/Vallejo vibes.

WIP, Going to be working on this for Aaaages.

I love MDF terrain and I hate it in equal measure.

Often complex and fiddly, blocky, buy with that delightful smell, and can really come out brilliant, with a little care and know-how

More progress! This thing turns out to be properly massive (the main structure is 13" ×7"!! Nearly done with the main build, then I can set about adding Rubble, watered-down filler (for texture) and a few select Bitz here and there.

I almost want to put the whole thing on a base.

More progress! With the building done, texturing helps to obscure the MDF materials, and enhance realism. Watered down filler and PVA give the stonework some much-needed subtle texture, whilst liberal Rubble heaps break up open areas. Texture medium on the gate should read as crusty rust
