Going to vote tactically. I wish I didn’t have to as I really am not on board with the Labour Party right now but as you can see my vote against the Tories actually matters here. #ukpolitics

good to know! other half wants something he can use in the browser, Element seems to offer that which is why I was wondering whether RYO might be an option - we already run a home server for a bunch of stuff

Investigating Matrix to replace google chat, does it really matter what server you're on? Are there any specific benefits to rolling our own? (or is it just a potential vulnerability?) We'll be using it for e2ee. #matrix

Holy shit Americans, you are one election away from a total authoritarian nightmare. Good luck #uspol

Gotta say, the Labour Party coming out as explicitly supportive of JK Rowling and her transphobic views is really straining my resolve to vote tactically in my marginal seat. FFS Labour, you’re not going to win more votes that way, they already hate you, they’ll vote Con or Reform, what are you doing

The latest double episode from Maintenance Phase is a brilliant take down of all the junk “science” that led to the Cass Report. Highly recommended.
Part 1 is all about “rapid onset gender dysphoria” and how it doesn’t exist: https://maintenancephase.buzzsprout.com/1411126/15036559-rapid-onset-gender-dysphoria-part-1-the-cooties-theory-of-transgender-identity
Part 2 is basically a thorough debunking of the Cass Report that skips all the fluff and focuses on the fundamental grounding it has in transphobic talking points (mostly ROGD): https://maintenancephase.buzzsprout.com/1411126/15267093-rapid-onset-gender-dysphoria-part-2-panic-at-the-endocrinologist

A friend of mine lives in NZ and saw this poster, I mean teens can be picky but this is probably going a bit far
