The NHS has now stopped all medication - puberty blockers and hormones - for trans minors. For most, unless they get drugs from other sources, this means a lifetime, in an increasingly violent and transphobic society, unable to pass. Under Wes Streeting NHS policy is harm and death for trans people.

Nothing says "we support women's rights" like a bunch of beardy cunts forming a mob in order to harass a woman *about women's rights*.

Lol

Most actively anti trans government of my life and I'm 50 and grew up with the DUP.

MOAR SAPPHIC COZY FANTASY!

I read two of Rebecca Thorne's series so far - "Can't Spell Treason without Tea" and "A Pirates Life for Tea" - both excellent warmth-in-my-tummy-and-heart reading, w/Spicy afterglow ;)

More retro-gaming shenanigans! This time a book about the prolific 8 and 16-bit videogame soundtrack composer Rob Hubbard, most famous for his work on the #c64 in the 80's. Fabulous encyclopedic timeline of his work.

Photo of book Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree depicting two fantasy style characters - a tall, muscular orc woman with long black hair, tusks, and pointed ears, and a smaller woman with pinkish/red skin, and horns (can't describe further because : Spoilers!) - they are behind a tavern-style counter with baked goods/cakes, cups can be seen hanging on the wall in the background, and coffee beans held in a container.

Travis Baldree: Legends and Lattes - devoured the three books in this series in the last year, absolute delights, featuring exceptionally well-written characters. Wonderful relationships, Travis writes sapphic v.well!

Photo of a large hardback book: The Games That Weren't by Frank Gasking. Cover is black, with bold text, and an icon-style image in green of a stick figure dropping a computer floppy-disk into a trashcan.

Frank Gasking's "The Games That Weren't" - an amazing and beautifully made archive trove of various games from the dawn of gaming to fairly recently that were developed but never released. I love to graze this book!

Photo of the book "Gideon the Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir, depicting a swordswoman dressed in black, with skull facepaint, aviator glasses, and a shock of red-hair walking all cool-like through an explosion of skeletons and bones.

First up, inevitable re-read of Tamsyn Muir's "Gideon the Ninth" (amazing audiobook read by Moira Quirk) - the first in an as-yet Trilogy.. Come on Tamsyn, don't GRRM us with Book 4! Gothic WhoDunit with necromancers!

How I arrived on BlueSky

It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.

It's about that time again..Steam Next Fest is once again upon us! I'll be doing some short streams most nights this week before our usual longer Demo Derby streams this weekend! 🔥

I'll be sure to update this thread throughout the week with my favorite #indiegame demos..get those wishlists ready! 👀

I think I drew this from a scene in the Force Awakens, right at the start. Which is a great film, don’t at me. ☺️

A random page, showing a colour photo of the arcade game "Phoenix" and a page of text relating to it.

Best and worst thing about backing a kickstarter is that you forget all about it when it inevitably falls behind schedule. So when it drops onto your doorstep you're briefly "Wtf?" Then remember and get a "free" surprise!

@nathithehumbleguy on threads: Ladies if you're always walking around with earphones or headphones on whether jogging or at the mall don't be surprised if no one approaches you. Most guys won't ask you to take them off just to start a conversation. Sometimes you might be blocking more than just the noise

he’s so close to getting it

Amazing DLC with insane amount of content with hugely different endings all of its own. And a Beautiful theme song 😊

Also we're getting a Universal theme park soon so 🤷‍♂️

What I liked about CachyOS was it all pretty much worked, and it had built in right-click>run Windows .EXE files, so portable apps worked straight off, and there's also WinBoat for installable apps, but I've barely played with it yet, having found most of the apps I need natively.

Dear Diary. It is now two weeks since I left Windows 11 behind, initially for Bazzite Linux.. but found it a little boring because everything worked, so I'm now on CachyOS and learning about pipewire, AUR, and other stuff and its glorious having something to tinker with that also just.. works. :)

4 panel image. Star Trek theme. First panel: An Exocomp from TNG/Lower Decks is sat next to two Starfleet officers. 2nd Panel: Riker looks unimpressed. 3rd panel: Close up of the exocomp and it's... Thermal induction port... 4th Panel: Riker looking... upbeat and intrigued...

omg! Can you show me some photos of that book's pages? I think I might have had that as a kid! o_O

Have you seen what your government has proposed for trans youth?

Let me tell you, it’s not supportive

you announced the most extremist anti-lgbt+ school guidance in british history yesterday.

you are placing vulnerable chilred at risk of beatings, rape, murder, and alienation.

Once again trans rights are coming down to who is more likely to sue you; anti-trans activists with their billionaire sponsor or trans people who are sharing the same £20 note around in gofundmes
