It’s really important to install an entire federal discrimination system so somebody’s cis daughter can finish 14th at her swim meet.

while I am just me, I want to be clear that as a Cis-woman, I fully support trans people using toilets of their affirmed gender. I think it is unsafe to ask trans women to use male loos, and I'd much rather trans men used male loos. Switching off replies, cos I don't want to hear the trans-hate.

People keep using "it is happening to CIS women!" as a wake-up call but, not to scold, it's also bad when it happens to trans women. It's a fucking wild thing to do, to yell and threaten someone in a toilet.

Labour has rolled back protections for trans individuals. The Under Secretary of State for Equalities has just opened the door for vigilantism against trans individuals. UK has dropped in terms of LGBTQIA+ rights under this government. This performative politics doesn't match Labour's own policies.

There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.

Tackling a new type of hand spinning. One which to me appears to defy the laws of physics… why would one not buy yarn?! Or use the wheel?! Or at least a type of hand spindle you already know how to use?! Who can say?! Thankfully I have help and advice from Sabrina here…
A French spindle is held with a very small cop of blue yarn on it. A small black cat viciously attacks the bottom of it.

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

@MatthewKeysLive
Paramount is apparently trying to suppress copies of "Only in Monroe" from appearing on other social platforms by filing frivolous copyright notices, even though the show was produced by a public access TV channel and doesn't use their intellectual property...

Pratchett’s politics evolved over the series, because he wrote them over the course of most of his life, and his own thoughts evolved. This does not make his politics “hard to pin down” unless what you’re trying to do is avoid describing the conclusions he reached about, say, trans rights, HELEN.

Cat bait. My improvised but beautifully tactile kumihimo set up. I haven’t been able to do leaning forward crafts for months, it’s lovely to get going again. Setting up was enough for one day mind you! I shall start braiding tomorrow. It will be 16F from the Jacqui Carey Creative Kumihimo book…
Small stool/table looking wooden item with round top and bottom, and a hole in the centre of the top. Sixteen threads emerge from the hole and are arranged around the surface. They continue down to wind around wooden bobbins weighted with a screw through each. The counterweight in the centre to which they are all attached is a crocheted small bag, subdue which are washers for weight. The sixteen dangling bobbins are going to be very appealing to the cats….
