I’m going to miss Bromley. Feels like London still but with quaint village vibes. Nice mixture.

I really love the part of the trans community where people bang on your door, make you feel trapped in a corner, make you feel like you have to flee for your life as they are yelling for you, destroy your shit when you are gone, then evict you with 3 days notice post violating your PTSD.

I have to say I feel like 100x less safe in the UK than the US already. I'd go so far as to say depending on your state and healthcare, the US is safe for trans people. The UK is not. I landed just as the EHRC shit happened -_-

Hey everyone, so my time with Vantage comes to an end at the end of this month. I feel so lucky to have worked on the stuff I did. I am looking for full time work. If anyone knows anyone, my DMs are open. People at Vantage are able to vouch for me and the services/experiences I can produce.

If the war is over we should fully withdraw at once. Trump has said the war is over and dad is not angry with you Mr Starmer. I know you said your dad was a toolmaker, well Trump has made you more of a took so I think that's true.

The cops were meant to take my DNA for the crime of committing a CSV file to Git, apparently its optional but the police seemed to see it as wanted for me (in case my crime spree of committing a CSV file that was already public was related to a unsolved murder or something I guess).

Mullvad getting their adverts pulled about VPN bans and all authoritarian it is, then getting their TfL advert pulled that links to it, is everything wrong with this country. Mullvad is a good VPN btw

This is a very important post and the responses are (predictably) disappointing. The online left, by and large, needs to stop "this tech needs to be eradicated" (it is not realistic) and start thinking about how we can prevent it from being a mass starvation or forever authoritarianism event.

Do you think this is unambiguous enough?
I want all information that is legally accessible that mentions me, is/is relating to my interview/the recording of that/the search warrant executed on me/my police caution. Basically everything you have on me that you can legally send about my case I want.

Yes, that is me in the video the Zionists are sharing around of the stall in Hove posing for a photo. No we weren't violent (obviously, else they'd post video of it). Yes, this is what I did the day after getting a caution. I won't be silenced (apart from one specific part of one thing but y'know).
