This is such a beautiful example of how to make an opposing point while keeping everyone onside. Flattery in the comparison, evident knowledge and clear storytelling. Iconic.

For the sake of clarity: I am far more bothered by the drunk man who had a wee in the train carriage the other week cos he couldn’t be bothered to walk a carriage down to a working toilet, than I will ever be by the idea of a trans+ person using any toilet.

For those not sure what alt text is, it’s a description of any photo you place so that visually impaired people know how funny/interesting/clever you are. Or you know - arnt. I’m soothes in as I have good intentions but the memory of a sieve.
Friendly friends: if you go to Settings —> Accessibility Settings, you can flip the switch to be reminded to use alt text every time you post an image. Let’s make the Bluesky as inclusive as possible, eh?

Ever have a lurking problem? When you don’t know what’s bothering you about some until someone writes a paper on it and you think- that, that’s it. Well this is that paper. Thank you @devezer.bsky.social for taking the time to write. Bluesky is already paying off.
Finally our editorial for the "What makes a good theory?" special issue is out (co-edited with @irisvanrooij.bsky.social, @jcskewes.bsky.social, Sashank Varma, and Todd Wareham). It's an interdisciplinary issue and the contents are transdisciplinary.
