So apparently, Girl Guiding UK is the latest entity to become a TERF friendly one and has banned trans women & girls, effective immediately.

My wifes unit has just had one of its best leaders be forced to leave because of this.

“Every word of hatred, direct or disguised, contributes to attacks, violence and a culture of fear for our community in public spaces.

"I hope Keir Starmer remembers the outrage he felt about the attack on his family next time he gets up to speak on LGBTQIA+ issues in parliament.”
Starmer "furious" at homophobic attack on his family, as if his party has nothing to do with it
Since a homophobic attack on his niece, his party has introduced multiple anti-LGBTQIA+ policies and the UK has fallen steeply in human rights rankings

2/ What’s happened since?

Since that attack - and since Starmer became PM - he has overseen policies that have fuelled hostility towards our community, especially Trans+ people.

Here’s just a few 👇🧵

Keir Starmer says he had “uncontainable fury” about his niece’s homophobic attack in 2022.

Here’s a look at his party’s anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric and policies since 🧵

Depends how you do it. (those that know me know what MY solution was)

I wonder what a Nihilist Arbys version of a convention would look like...

"Furry Con - Shake your tail like it doesn't matter, because it doesn't"
"Endtimes Furry Fest, the world's burning up but our merch stand still charges $50 for a T-shirt. Women's small only."

Scammers are going to be targeting children thanks to the social media age ban, imitating age verification tools to steal data, and dodgy 'free VPNs' being promoted to kids.

TIL, there's a "people with realistic/monster costumes they designed themselves" segment of cosplay... I've been looking for a way to get back into that without it being tied to furry, and maybe that's it.
I've been wanting to make a realistic were-fox for a while. Need to get a head base and try.

Fun(?) fact: NeoPixels were named after two things:

1. Full rewrite of prior Arduino lib, avoiding namespace collisions during development. “New pixel library” = NeoPixel.
2. Secret homage to NEOchrome way back on Atari ST. There were more capable apps like DEGAS, but NEOchrome’s UI felt so crisp!

From Insta. This is so neat! We need monsters like this. Stylized, fluid, unconventional.

(Not me however. My spine says “no,” but in less polite terms.)

used to be when you were offline for a few days you could sort of delude yourself into thinking maybe everything had gotten better but now even if you're in the middle of nowhere, completely disconnected, you can feel, just in the air, that somehow it's now even worse than you can imagine

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.

It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

PROBLEM: "Sunlight as disinfectant" isn't working because the leaders of your space treat attention as attack, or are complicit in the problem.

SOLUTION: Create a new space. Set ground rules from day 1 and build the culture you want. I promise it hurts less than banging your head on walls.
