Screenshot of highlighted text which reads: “Transgender persons endeavour to live in their acquired gender to enable how they present to others accord with how they perceive themselves. To this end they endeavour to use the toilet facilities which accord with their gender identity. A toilet access policy of permitting access based upon asserted gender rather than sex was an appropriate means to achieve the aim of an inclusive workplace environment.”

“Transgender persons endeavour to live in their acquired gender to enable how they present to others accord with how they perceive themselves.”

Nice to see the Employment Tribunal in Scotland affirm people using toilets that align with their gender.

Note: Fox ran a segment on the Chicago ICE Nativity, which is at the church of a pastor who recently went viral for being arrested while protesting ICE.

That pastor told me the church has since seen an influx of volatile messages.

“There’s been some suggestions that I should kill myself,” he said.

RIP Frank Gehry.

In honor of the unjustly banned Link, I invite folks to post their mutual aid below this thread. I will repost need as long as I am able.

As the holiday season approaches, and temperatures drop, mutual aid is going to become more important.

Consider giving what you can. If you can't, repost.

*sigh*

Jake sisco and Nog from Star trek DS9 shaking hands

'I can't believe they turned Star Trek into a teen drama, it's gotten so far from what made it good, wah wah wah'

Meanwhile Star Trek in 1993:

I was hoping I could buy it separately

No, i don't. Nor the money

i genuinely didnt know this level of Online existed

theyre declaring war on mods

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Cries tears of envy

So jealous. So So So So So jealous

I've been paying more distant attention and for less time than you have so I'm definitely less charitable to Conway than I should be.

I'm actually trying to listen to cricket when I can, better than just reading Google results

“Don’t you worry about that” has, shall we say, an inauspicious history of use by NZ-born politicians

Actual Soviet poster about achieving the five-year plan in four years, just in case anyone wanted to know the origins of that famous example in Nineteen Eighty-Four.

I've actually been there, it's the closest airport to the drydock at Les Mechins, where I spent my only two months with the Canadian Coast Guard

@drachinifel.bsky.social Matane is a town in Quebec, it's not a te reo Maori word.

Ma-tann, I guess.

It's difficult trying to figure out how to transcribe a Quebecois name into British English via Canadian English.

Update: The guy they endorsed a year ago wants them to leave the country.

I find this whole thing so weird and gross.

So completely gross.

(and yes, it's largely gross because of her joy for getting a Cybertruck from Elon Musk. That's enough to really put me off anybody)

I've booked off work tomorrow and I'm so pleased about it. And I've booked off another day on the 20th. So that's great too.

absolutely gutting that the Raptors lost.

Not sure it explains the whole thing, but before the most recent BC election, the BC Liberals- renamed themselves the BC Conservatives. And then there was some disasters. Just right wing assholes. Then yesterday half the MPPs voted to oust the leader, and he refused to acknowledge it. Then quit.

@drdrehistorian.bsky.social also, how good was Ravindra yesterday? And Conway wasn't completely useless (Let's not talk about Kane Williamson though)

I forgot that pilots have something similar to the Notices to Mariners that I work with :p that's cool

We have this one guy who keeps on going over to the island and flying a drone despite being less than 1868m from an airport. "I've got special permission"

No you bloody don't.

I feel bad that what I'm going to work on isn't one of my half done stories but a new one

You should charge the insurance companies for the footage

I’m not anti-gambling in totality and even think a basic level of regulated sports gambling isn’t the worst thing in the world. But it’s pretty astounding how quickly the current system careened toward turning every dumbass bet you might casually make with your friends into multimillion dollar pots.
