Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
It found there was not enough good quality evidence to conclude overall whether the drugs benefited young people or harmed them, so NHS England will not issue new prescriptions while it continues to consider responses from advocacy groups and healthcare professionals.

Oh hey I can talk about this now! I'm going to be doing my first talk in a veerryy long time at Yorkshire games fest in a few weeks! Me/cfs has meant I haven't been able to do any thing like this in years but being in a better place, I'm excited! www.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/whats-on/yor...
A screenshot from the Yorkshire games website. Alongside a picture of kitty, the text reads 'Kitty Crawford (she/her) Freelance Creative Producer. A Plucky Puzzle – a curiosity and human-centered approach to video game production

Follow Kitty as she takes you through her experience as a freelance producer on her latest release (among some others), where she shows that the process of a designer and a producer aren't all that different, just their target audience. Kitty will go through her steps of pipeline building from initial investigation, puzzle solving and testing, to successful deployment, that have lead to her creating accessible productions that allow all developers from any background to great amazing games – including her own bedridden phase.'

Placeholder assets should scream 'placeholder' at you.

A little reminder; ethics aside it's not a good idea to use AI for placeholder stuff. If something looks "good enough" its easy for it to slip into the final product. Placeholder stuff needs to LOOK placeholder so its obvious it needs replacing. Lorem ipsum and Paint doodles are perfect placeholders

You will internalize all the mean stuff you say about yourself, even if you say it in jest. Good news: you can also pretend you're great and treat yourself with compassion and internalize that instead. Ask me how I know! People respond well to it too, they wanna root for you!!

The rot at the heart of British culture that allows something like today’s Supreme Court ruling to be made… Boycott Rowling. Teach your dad about pronouns. Withhold your vote from politicians who don’t vocally support trans rights. Fund trans artists and creators. TERF Island needs to die.

It's extremely ironic that a game about people being sad that their favourite club is closing because of capitalism is no longer playable... because if capitalism. Not only is Dance Central VR delisted from sale, but its latest update locks it in a loading loop at start-up, and nobody is fixing it.
