Trying to work out what precisely is meant by 'schrifterij' when someone in the London Dutch Church describes documents as ‘rustende onder de schrifterij aen der consistorie’. It's not in the Historische Woordenboeken. Grateful for thoughts from early modern Dutch experts (no guesses please!).
Gotta love the New Year wish us as staff received from Charles University, they don't mess about.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."
Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
