Hey folks, i got a few Lego advent calendars and thought i'd share the contents! For day 1:
a mini x-wing fighter and a young lad with a snowboard!
Two lego advent calendars from this year side by side with the front flaps down. On the left is the Star Wars one, on the right the City one. A micro model of an X-wing space fighter, with a red stripe along the side and a tiny blue dot for a R2 astromech droid. Alego boy with a yellow snowboard and a dark blue helmet with white goggles. He has frizzy black hair and a neat brown christmas jumper with bulldozers on it.

Does anyone out there in Blueskyland know about streaming on Twitch?

I want to do something to support the Yogscast Jingle Jam, and we're mostly set up, but I got an email saying "just publish your fundraising page and you're ready to go!" and I'd love to but it doesn't say how. Help?

Only tangentially related, but FUN FACT, gang: At least 9 Japanese medical schools, including the illustrious Tokyo Medical University, have been caught CHANGING THE SCORES on admission exams to exclude female applicants for the last 20 YEARS.

This is real! It happened!

Jackson Heights is one of the last neighborhoods in NYC that actually lives up to the promise of what NYC is supposed to be for immigrants - it's a middle class neighborhood where the majority of residents were born outside the country. One of the most diverse neighborhoods in the whole US

Ashley James, celebrity star of Good Morning has resigned from Girl Guides in response to their exclusion of trans girls.
I am - and always will be - proud of my time as a Girlguiding ambassador. As a former Rainbow and Brownie myself, I know first hand what a difference these spaces make to girls. I've seen it in the faces of the young people I met on site visits - including trans girls, who were every bit as bright, joyful and deserving as any other child. Which is why the organisation's decision to exclude trans girls has devastated me. Some of those girls and their families have now found themselves caught in the crossfire of culture wars they never asked to be part of. I am truly heartbroken for the trans community who simply want to live their lives, be included, and have access to safe, supportive spaces. Trans girls experience the same threats as other women and girls - they are not a threat to us. They are our sisters. And so, with a very heavy heart, I will be stepping down as a Girlguiding ambassador with immediate effect. I stand with my trans sisters today and always. Inclusion makes us all stronger, and I will continue to use my voice to fight for a world where every girl - cis or trans - grows up knowing she ngs. N - Ashley x

also, Spotify doesn't pay royalties at all for tracks with less than a thousand streams.

and sometimes if an album gets a sudden surge of fan interest, Spotify deems it "unusual listening activity" and just removes the album, as happened to my last EP.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

The death of Lia Smith shook many in the trans community to their cores, while online it seemed like the top priority of non-trans people was to insist there's no proof that the 21-year-old's ban from her beloved swim team caused her suicide.

It was physically impossible for that boat to reach anywhere close to the United States, even before it was a flaming upside-down wreck, and Tom Cotton knows that. He's not that stupid, he just thinks everyone else is. This kind of dishonesty is inseparable from egotistical arrogance.

Q: What did you see in the second strike?

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Christ on a bike.

There are better men out there, in fact being alone is so much better than this.
relationship AlO for being upset that my fiancé let me go hungry? I'm just going to hop right into the story. Basically, my fiance and I JUST moved into a new apartment today, and have not had time to go grocery shopping. Also, sadly enough for me, my purse was stolen while I was in a graduate class yesterday evening so I currently do not have access to my funds. IG & Threads: @ask I paid for the deposit as well as next month's rent for the apartment, and also have been responsible for purchasing the living room furniture. My fiancé bought our bedroom furniture. Well, this evening, he asked what we should have for dinner and I suggested a local Chinese takeout spot as it is cheap and quick. He responded with "Okay, go get it." to which I asked if he was paying for it because, again, cards stolen! He said "Nope. Looks like you'll have to find something else." I just went and continued unpacking my closet. About 30 minutes later he told me he'd be back and quickly left the apartment. When he returned, he had gotten himself takeout from a different place and also grabbed a frozen I was immediately frustrated because he didn't mention food when he left, but I didn't say anything. Then, when he put the frozen meal away he turned and said "that's not your dinner, it's my lunch tomorrow." which just caught me off guard. I got pretty upset and asked what he expected me to eat because we literally have no food in the apartment yet and I won't have access to any type of money until I can get to my bank tomorrow. He literally just shrugged at me and then took his meal into our bedroom where he ate while unpacking. IG & Threads: @ask I won't lie, I cried, and called my best friend asking if she would please bring me snacks or something to get me through the night because the last time ate was at 7am. My fiancé said that I was dramatic and that I'd be fine until I could go to the bank tomorrow to get cash. My feelings are so hurt because I do not understand how he could let me go hungry even for just a night. AlO? IG & Threads: @ask

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.
