Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

In my personal opinion, I think Alice Sullivan would sue you if you didn't clap when she walked into the room.

While I think that earning citizenship via military service (as in Starship Troopers) is much too extreme, I do think that certain professions should only become available to you after a few years in some kind of other service. For instance...

Just want that to sink in, there.

Idea for a drama: a celebrity who is being harassed by a paparazzi, one who regularly breaks into their garden to snap pics, kills them and has to try and get away with it. Call it Snapshot. Put Vicky McClure in the lead. Accept your Bafta.

I'd have a lot of respect for any cis woman who chose to forgo attending this event, and only participated in trans inclusive spaces.

I'd strongly recommend that you only let your kids join organisations that respect gender and sexual diversity and promote kids being able to be kids, no exceptions.

Despite being an important gig with lots of big names and at Wembley Arena, it’s almost certain that UK mainstream media will not whisper a syllable about this. So please share widely and keep sharing.

Opinion that can expose me as a fraud: sprints, as a concept, are not useful for anyone except management. For delivery teams they are not even a useful fiction. Maybe if you're a dev, sizing all your tasks, a sprint plays some role in planning. But outside of that, nah. #agiledelivery

Trans Awareness Week - Tough to be Trans

I would ask all my cis followers and allies who still have access to the sewer that of Twitter to take 5 minutes look up the threads from the first two snaps attached to understand the kind of trolling that Trans people have to put up with in the UK today.

In my opinion, the Michael Prescott memo as reported by the Telegraph and linked here, is very clearly a right wing attack on the centre and centre right of the UK press. It is intended to promote extremism.
