A whole bunch of us have grown up in the UK knowing to flee in the other direction if we spot this flag anywhere. We’re not going to pause to see if there are stickers stuck below them.

And if they’re stuck elsewhere, we will not get close enough to see the text - again, we’re just going to leg it.

This is devastating but hard to think of more important journalism. 18,457 children have been killed in Gaza (many more not accounted for). Here, The Guardian prints their names and beautiful faces and tells us what they were like before Israel stole their lives. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

None of us are ever going to pay off our student loans. I had 3k tutition fees and I’m barely paying the interest plus my postgrad loan. Honestly it would do more for the economy to write them off and give me the money to spend.

Nothing like seeing a job with a massive pay rise that gets totally wiped out by going up a tax band, increased student loan payments and the cost of commuting.

I’m not opposed to paying tax at all, but any job that doesn’t allow WFH is a pay cut in practice even if the gross pay is higher

Chief among the Ring's powers is its ability to deceive.

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Fuck you - fuck you again.

Actually enjoying the Bond photoshop “scandal”, it’s delightfully silly. The 007 logo literally has a gun in it. I hope they rename some of them too. Licence To Arrest. Live and Let Live. The World Is Enough. The Man with the Golden Watch. Octofoofoo. Dr Yes.

Let’s be honest - @theguardian.com and much of the legacy media have spent years dressing up anti-Trans+ rhetoric as “fact”

They too have helped deceive the US and UK Supreme Courts

They share responsibility for the erosion of basic individual rights, including the right to control one’s own body

From Christian Concern and Sex Matters to the LGB Alliance, UK anti-Trans+ groups share ideological and strategic links with US organisations like ADF and the Heritage Foundation

What’s unfolding is a coordinated global effort to erode individual freedom, crush liberation, and control our bodies

6 Oct 2025 -- 16-person Aussie team publish a killer take-down of The Cass Review in the prestigious Australian Medical Journal titled, Cass Review Does Not Guide Care for Trans Young People ("lacking expertise & compromised by implicit stigma & misinformation..." @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Big tech is laying off user researchers in droves, because it believes that coercing its customers is more profitable than silly things like "making good products people want to buy."

But now the FAFO pendulum is coming around, with Amazon's $2.5B dark pattern settlement and #a11y lawsuits galore.

A mosque in my city got attacked last night. Shits getting grim here 😫

The sign on the accessible toilet in this hotel is “DDA toilet”, as in the Disability Discrimination Act that was superseded by the Equality Act in England, Scotland and Wales *15* years ago.

Neurodivergent people 🤝 trans people

Abnormal wait for healthcare, everyone thinks you’re faking it, GPs being shit about shared care, “some conversion therapy is fine actually”

Signing up for trans healthcare in Scotland and ADHD assessment in Sheffield so my descendants can get letters in 250 years time

This unfortunately is not exaggeration.

I’m sure this carpet looks lovely in other settings, but for stairs it’s a bit of a death trap.

I’m somewhat stereoblind so I struggle with judging distance on stairs at the best of times.

Business leader: Our user persona? Well we don't want to constrain our customer base, this product is for everyone

Designer: That's great! Let's talk about accessibility

Business leader: Oh, I didn't mean it like *that*

oh its the thing everyone said was going to happen when this got brought in and it immediately happened

comic book authors: we invented the punisher as a cautionary tale about vigilante crime fighting
the director of the fbi: at long last, we are implementing the ethos from the classic comic book the punisher

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.
