For my friend’s birthday I’ve made her a doll of her favourite coffee guy @jameshoffmann.bsky.social

A crocheted doll in jeans and a knitted jumper with orange rimmed glasses and a grey bouffant, holding a little crocheted cup of coffee. Doll is sat in a V60 next to an aeropress and moka pot.

I know there are so many more egregious attacks on our community right now but I read this statement from the BBC about the they/them raccoon and I am really hung up on the cowardice present in the use of the word “and” instead of “but” in the last sentence.

A BBC spokesman said: "We take our responsibility to our young audience and their families very seriously and take great to care that all content is appropriate.
Everyone is welcome at CBeebies and in this case Wren the raccoon is not a non-binary character."

Yesterday a Sheffield gp surgery notified it’s trans patients that they would no longer provide them with hrt, regardless of their transition status. I have many friends who’ve been affected by this, including several post-op, putting their physical health at serious risk.

“Unfortunately, the practice has had to take the decision to cease our prescribing and monitoring of hormonal medication in adult transgender patients. This is not a decision we have taken lightly but due to the closure of NHS centres including the Tavistock, we feel we are not in a position to provide this additional service. This is because of a lack of support and the work being outside of our expertise. The changes will occur from 1st April 2025. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause patients and advise that you contact your specialist care provider to seek alternative arrangements.”

Such an elegant way to heavily imply a mountain of nudes

“At any given time, Mangione is only permitted to possess five books, a photo album, and 25 pictures, although wardens can adiust these limits at their discretion. In addition to asking for a hold on books, Mangione requested that people send no more than five photos at a time. The legal team reminds senders that every photo is screened and reviewed by law enforcement.”

Finished reading @ruha9.bsky.social 's Race After Technology and this paragraph hit particularly hard. When trans kids in the UK now have to "consent" to be research subjects to get puberty blockers but projects like the Cass review ignore most of the data that already exists, it's just oppressive.

"Demanding more data on subjects that we already know much about is, in my estimation, a perversion of knowledge. The datafication of injustice...in which the hunt for more and more data is a barrier to acting on what we already know. We need something like an academic equivalent of "I said what I said!" - the catchphrase of reality TV star NeNe Leakes- for those who insist on digging deeper and deeper into the genome for scientific solutions to social problems."
