Look, you have to understand Bibi: it really deeply upsets and frightens him that a Muslim reached the age of 34.

There are other elements I can't say anything about on social media, but trust me, this won't be the last people hear about Steven Uden in the news, and his offences will hopefully inspire other legislative changes, too. Reproductive rights just isn't part of this story.

Reason being, it ends up undermining the message and the campaign issues that need to be worked on. Reproductive rights ARE important. Yes, their denial can lead to abuse. But moving Dell's story into that territory isn't right - here, it's about coercive control and the vulnerability of disability.

Dell didn't have kids with him. It is irrelevant to the story. Dell is in the UK, where reproductive rights are not AS under threat. As it says in the story, it is more about disability here. Please don't conflate different types of abuse with different nuances and legal systems behind them.

To be clear, the case has nothing to do with reproductive rights. Reproductive rights represent the inalienable control people have over their own bodies. Right. But this is about rape. Pure and simple. Men can also be raped. Rape is not about reproduction. Reproductive rights didn't save her.

Sorry, but WTAF?! This is grossly inappropriate. Adelle and I are pro-choice and pro-consent. But ffs, please don't highlight her name in this way, deflecting from the reality of her experience. This is not allyship.

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

People who were bullied at school but sociable in later life: How many best and close friends did you have to have to realise you're well liked, even very popular and loved? I lost count, at least of the second tier, and I am probably first tier to some of those. And perhaps that's the point.

Hunting for pleasure should not be acceptable anywhere. And it certainly is not in Scotland of all places. I was so proud to see you push back so politely yet succinctly. He was taken aback. Good on you for not tolerating such loathesome views being pushed on you and everyone in earshot. 🐾🐾🐾

Notably, after he commented on #hunting all sorts of animals, from bears to possums, and the price of #trophyhunting, I heard you tell him the only type of shooting of animals you like is with a camera - namely, photography. That little shit was winding me up. You made my night. Thank you. 🐾

I don't check in here often. I guess I can write here to say they still aren't feeding Palestine. Worse stuff came out since making that my profile pic. I could update it, but it would end up obscene. And how would "Israel systematically räpes political prisoners" fit in one image, anyway?

Don't @ me with your annoyance. You know there's a bit of truth in it. It wouldn't annoy you otherwise. Let's instead just not take pride in our genetics anyway. It's weird. We can honour our forebears without all that weirdness.

When people put too much weight in ancestry/DNA results, I find myself automatically thinking one of two things: A) "I'm like compleeeetely (single ethnic identity)." - So you're inbred. B) "I'm a mongrel! I'm (long list, as if I'm interested)." - So I wonder how much of that mixing is r*pe.

After weighting up potential perpetrators, my bet is on #Russia, because: - China isn't that actively pissed off with us - #Iran probably knows the people are very much on the side of the Iranian people and oppose what is happening there and in #Palestine - #USA MAGA types don't have the intellect

I've been asked to create something new: A tool to generate custom bilingual or trilingual switcher icons - using ISO lang codes - that will look appropriate for bilingual or trilingual websites. So where it has a Chinese character, you'd have DE or DEU for German, and then EN or ENG for English.

As a web developer (I know, it's a lot of hats), I hate the practice of using the Chinese versus Latin icon as a symbol to translate the site between languages using the same alphabet, especially on bilingual websites. I prefer to use language codes.

I created a sustainable icon set - sustyicons.com. It differs from others in that the data and rendering complexity is a lot less than other icon sets. It's also possible to adjust a few things on the website. I delayed creating a dedicated translation icon because I hate the established default.

I'm a translator and an icon designer. And I don't like the translate icon. Who's with me? It's focused on script differences - using a Chinese and Latin character. It's Chinese-centric yet sinophobic, making Chinese the archetypal "other". Would we benefit from new options? #icons #xl8 #webdev
A set of alternative and traditional translate icons. Some show symbols instead of different scripts. Some are blank, like a template. It is a screenshot from sustyicons.com.
