Still pretending to be a musician. Zappa/prog/jazz fan. Trans rights are human rights. Brexit is madness. Anti right-wing. Autistic. Opinions are someone else's i'm trying to pass off as my own.

I write music. It’s OK if it’s not your thing

In news which should be shocking to absolutely no-one with an ounce of commonsense or humanity, providing gender affirming care to trans young people reduces risks of harm.
Preventing trans young people accessing treatment has never been about "protecting children"

from 1989..

Supermarkets were the first to realise data has value so initially offered free stuff (via points) for giving them data. Then they realised people are thick and give data to other companies for free so they changed it to 'we will punish you if you don't give us the data'.

On this day in 1993, we lost Frank Zappa, a fearless musical innovator whose ideas reshaped rock, jazz and beyond. His creativity still sparks new sounds today. A true original who kept pushing music forward.
