- Got my eyebrows done for the first time and it felt sooooo dramatic at first but finally getting used to it lol
- reserved a table for dinner and i have 5 emails about it and have been signed up to a rewards program lol. we are so in the bad timeline.
- imagine watching the terminator and thinking "imagine how rich id be if i started skynet" thats literally the tech billionares lol
- pretty sure season 3 of the white lotus was just one long advert for designer bags. awful, don't bother.
- wondering if one of the reasons spy movies and tv shows are so popular is its just a nice fantasy to imagine working in a functional institution
- just a headsup my bank Nationwide (@nationwideuk.bsky.social) refused to accept an unenrolled deed poll to chage my middle name today. from a quick google i think this is possibly illegal, but maybe other trans people will want to give them a miss.
- Really enjoyed a trial of omnigraffle but repeatedly baulking at the full purchase price. Before I close my eyes and do it does anyone have any other suggestions for mac diagramming software that doesn’t suck and isn’t a monthly charge?
- New terf womanhood test just dropped: can you complete flappy bird on the pelvic floor trainer?
- this is prob gonna take a few more passes to make sense to anyone ive not been working with the last few years but super happy to get it into the wild
- Let's retire the endless magic bullets and solve problems together instead. Kim lays out a methodology for how we can start building technology by thinking about people, not products: and guess what, it's rooted in ✨ existing community networks ✨. gfsc.community/how-to-estab...
- a lot of things have spoken to starmers character this last few months but perhaps none more than the fact he hasnt resigned yet
- enormous sigh, esp after having to go to some lengths to disable it
- Being trans level 1: pet a kitten Level 99: kill god
- according to government stats there are 2.82 million landlords and 262k trans people in the uk so you are 10 times more likely to share a public toilet with a landlord than a trans person. suddely so much about the uk makes sense to me.
- imagine a world where we took covid seriously and improved everything from public health to educational attainment in the process, encouraged complete bodily autonomy which let people live free and happy lives however they wanted, and the rise in adhd and autism dx was seen as a wonderful thing.
- tuned into Capital Radio today. Didn’t feel very Marxist? Maybe I’m missing something
- A bit of a way off but excited to talk at this in June!
- TICKETS ARE NOW LIVE for the Queer Data Showcase! 🗓️ Thursday 5 June 2025 📍 Pleasance, Edinburgh 👋 All welcome Grab your ticket now: www.ai-ethics.org/queer-data-s...
- as a child i was told that manners cost nothing, but thanks to the tireless efforts of tech billionaires i am happy to announce we have successfully tied them to a dollar amount nypost.com/2025/04/21/b...
- unrelated to anything, anyone know if the bookies will take a bet about one specific judge turning out to be a nonce? anyone?
- For some reason my social media cross browsing app has started showing me nostr posts and LOL this is exactly how I imagined it on there, beyond parody
- if anyone is able to boost this it would be greatly appreciated, im pretty close to having to turn the whole thing off as im still personally bankrolling it and am about to have no income, but if i do that i fear it would be a bit of a death knell for the project
