They're just little guys. You can look at them for free and you can look at them up close if you pay for Bird Premium (binoculars or camera). They're just doing behaviors. They will never email you.

I think that's likely but I love the idea that they'll just wind back the legislation for younger folk and keep in place for the people already banned

I like the framing of the UK smoking ban as "an entire generation will never get to smoke" because it suggests it will just be one. generations after that will get to smoke again. carding someone to check they're not between forty and sixty years old

love that for you

I like to imagine I'm the only one he's sent this to

i like to think im ok

THERE IS A BETTER WAY A new world is possible. That's why I'm helping set up Your Party here in the Highlands and Islands

maybe forgot to edit this bit

the choice of which words to make bold may actually be wilder than the message itself

Leaflet from Mick Rice, Independent Socialist candidate. It's largely blank and white, with big red text reading ARE YOU DECENT?

came through the door today, independent candidate campaign material continues to be wild

i like that both seasons have ended with a tiny glimpse of Outside Work and that is all you get

thank you lesbians that make strange and unmarketable art

i mean, i didn't enjoy the interaction but it was mildly funny for him to have so much circuitous and tenuous logic to explain why things are exactly as they seem

had a sov cit talk at me for a while the other day. normally their speech ends "and that's why i shouldn't have to pay taxes" but this guy went the other way. big circular talk about how his name is copyright and councils are private companies to explain why he's beholden to the rule of law

and not unintentional - many cis folk need to cleanse any hint of queerness or transgression from their choices in order to feel comfortable. the current mainstream promotion of hormones for cis folk goes hand in hand with the removal of trans access to them

so to have those things taken and isolated for cis people to use instead of us as opposed to as well as us is particularly cruel

we've always advocated for change and access beyond our own needs - for bodily autonomy, names changes, hormones, identity construction, non-traditional family, transgression of gender norms - for everyone who might benefit from them

another thing which irks me about the Cis People Taking Hormones columns is trans folk have long said "maybe a lot of folk would be happier with a slightly different hormonal setup to what their body produces"

Likewise! Perhaps we should invent an education system which does leave students with lasting fear

The Rockstar Union Purge Four months after Rockstar Games fired dozens of union members, Rachel Crawford reflects on the workers’ struggles following the shocking dismissals.

I'm in awe of the Rockstar workers who've continuously fought back against their unjust firings by Rockstar.

@nershly.bsky.social did an incredibly good job capturing what the past couple of months have been like for her and what we should all learn from it. scottishleftreview.scot/the-rockstar...

real and correct. though I also think I just shouldn't have to do this

not weird at all! you're my primary source on Why Assessment Is Often Bad And How It Could Be Better!

typical kickstarter update

this is what happened to me

i like my course a lot but i am far too old for Being Assessed

submitted my university essay, which i hate. writing for an assessment is all the wrong kinds of writing angry. it's not that the subject is uninteresting but i only ever want to write because i have something i need to say
