Day 2 of posting one invertebrate-themed magic card for #invertefest :
Today's card is Luminous Broodmoth. There's a theme among butterfly/caterpillar creatures - they often have transformative abilities, reflecting dramatic change that is insect metamorphosis.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas.

Be a love, and pay it today.

literally.

it was a couple of years ago when they suddenly decided they simply can't sign a prescription and send blood results to a GIC

not for any other reason than "woah there, this trans stuff is a bit controversial. fuck them."
GPs could do most of what most of us need with a pamphlet and a letter from the NHS telling them they have to do it. Then the next bottle neck will be surgery

EXCLUSIVE
The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”.

Clarity should not come at the cost of dignity. #bbc #humanrights #journalism #transparency #transrights

If you treat a trans man on T like a cis woman looking at haematocrit you're going to be ignoring anemia until it is severe! That's a healthcare failure.

If you assume a trans woman on Es GFR rate should be the same as a cis mans you're going to ignore kidney failure until it's severe!

Our health secretary is so willfully ignorant about health in ways that are going to kill people.
Also pissed off at Steeting going off on "biological sex is immutable for screening and healthcare" in parliament, if ignoring that we very much should be treated according to our current anatomy and hormones, and that treating us as our birth assigned sex will cause serious healthcare failures.

Little bit worrying that if you get a box with a female voice to go 'you are SO clever, [Male_User_Name]', a bunch of blokes will go 'this is exactly the same as a meat woman, except that this one doesn't nag me'

As plenty of women have always known, it’s easy to sucker a man with a big ego into pretty much anything you want if you just let him bang on about his obsessions, flatter him, and don’t let your own personality intrude.
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers

if you oppose zionism you should work to ensure jews are safe in the diaspora, otherwise you are affirming the core zionist tenet that jews are not safe anywhere and therefore we are better off being unsafe under our own rule in our own state. zionism is _reaction_ to antisemitic action.

Welcome to Britain, where everything gets relentlessly worse year after year and nobody can ever explain why, no matter how glaringly obvious the malice gets. Please note, the gender-policed toilets are for paying customers only.

Also on "well isn't *spell checking* AI???" smug arguments: Every spell checker on every software I use to write has gotten worse and stupid as more and more ML features have been added. It literally cannot do better than a simple strict check for words not in a dictionary.
