I met Patricia Quinn at a signing at one of the 40th events, and she was so sweet, wanted to get a quick pic leaning by her signing table, and she insisted on getting up and doing like, a photoshoot with me and my friend who were both in costume.

And even at 71 her legs were better than mine.

I've met a lot of my loved ones through social media, whether through chatting on Discord and Twitter, cosplaying on Tumblr or even Proboards wrestling forums.

Guess we will just have to wait for the trash people to be transphobic to our friends rather than the nearly 100% accurate "Jonathan chait follower" or "Jesse singal follower" tag when curating our user experience.

Nick Clegg is used to stealing from people without consent, but usually it's students and the disabled. Fuck Nick Clegg with a rusty rake.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

Tidligere i år meldte vi et forskningsprosjekt til redelighetsutvalget ved OUS og UiO.

Nå er forskerne felt for alvorlige brudd på forskningsetiske normer.

Harley is a trans femme icon (wildly popular but everyone gets why wrong, weirdly bad taste in men, completely evil at random intervals, fucked sense of humour, inexplicably highly educated for the career she's in, has committed crimes you've never even heard of, inexplicable fashion sense)

Can’t believe the Irish tried a version of UBI, found it worked, and decided to keep it rather than commission another study.

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 2d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Aaron and Jay trying so hard to fabricate evidence to absolve them of their lack of professionalism that they themselves forgot that we can literally look at the alt text as it was and see they're making this shit up.

They are so bad at their own jobs they forgot how the protocol works.

Important update, with emails sent 9 hours apart,

Link said the alt text they gave in email isn’t him. He does not write in all lowercase .
