4 frame comic. A woman with a long purple scarf is waiting for the subway. a street journalist approaches her and asks : miss! do you think we're approaching a moment when the public will recognize that allowing children to be transed was a terrible idea? She replies : considering that with each passing day, the public sees how much of the anti-trans movement was engineered by the wealthy to fuel culture war hate on the back of a vulnerable community, I'd say we owe massive apologies to trans people. just this week, we learned that a decade ago, epstein suggested using trans rights as a wedge issue, and that jk rowling's team was courting him. we also learned that what we were told about the closure of the tavi- stock clinic, the only youth clinic in the u.k. for gender-affirmative care, was nothing but lies. rowling's pal hilary cass forced the clinic to close after reports of 1000 complaints from families. we learned this week that it only received eight over 10 years, mostly about delays. in the meantime, the health dep't has been concealing trans children suicide numbers, which we now know rose dramatically following the closure. The terrible idea was always to scapegoat trans kids.

We owe it to these kids to keep fighting for truth to prevail.

NHS closed Tavistock over care complaints – there were only eight An eye-opening FOI report has revealed that just eight people complained about the Tavistock gender clinic's care provision in 10 years.

a clinic that provided services to 12,000 people being closed on the basis of 8 complaints perfectly captures the nature of the uk 'trans-debate'

It was encouraging to see this in Auckland.

Our yellow Piper P2 on the cover of Sports Car Monthly. Apparently driving behind the camera van for the photo was truly terrifying.

An egg-yolk yellow Piper P2, which is a very low sports car of the 1970s. In the photo it is appearing at the classic car show at the NEC.

No longer, sadly. We sold it to pay a builder, then when we realised it was for sale a couple of years later, considered buying it back. Unfortunately it was in a really rough state and we'd have had to start all over again. But we know where it is and someone else has now done all the hard work.

Yikes. One of my favourite cars.

Our Piper P2 had that problem, but worse was the effect of hitting a deep puddle, which threatened to tear the rear of the car off.

An acquaintance who'd just got off a long-haul flight woke up in Newcastle when she'd been aiming at Peterborough.

I spent three years trying not to find myself waking up at the first station past where my line divided. I failed at least a dozen times.

They certainly don't lack enthusiasm.

Yes and another potential one may happen in MEDEL case about Poland’s rule of law milestones. In both cases, political considerations corrupted the Commission’s decision making process (not that the Council objected). One may also mention end of CVM for 🇧🇬 🇷🇴, premature closure of Art 7 re 🇵🇱, etc

My school was taken over by the one that two of the four members of Joy Division went to - does that count?

There are two Epstein Files.

​The first contains the names and evidence of a vast network of sexual predators and financial criminals.

​The second is the list of politicians, public servants, and media pundits who have—and continue to—shield them from accountability.

Go for it and hope you're incorrect...

A gold BMW Z4

We were lent a Z4 for a couple of months last year. Very nice indeed, though we *definitely* had to be paranoid about bumps and scrapes.

Happy to have Halfords do it tbh, especially as on the car that usually needs bulbs, one has to get to them via the wheel arch.

Knowledge is also remembering the one my stepfather bought new and regretted.

Little bastards aren't even subtle - it's like being stabbed with a small saw.

Blowhole jetting seawater and vapour out of the Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki

We spent ages trying to get a decent shot of a blowhole doing its stuff, but the force of it doesn't really doesn't come across - and I got my first bite from a sandfly.

I do.

It does cut out the extra time spent on commuting and make nursery school pick-ups, doctors' appointments and all the other parts of a child's timetable more manageable/shareable.

Yup, lots of (loud) feedback as one typed. My daughter's gaming keyboard sounds disconcertingly similar.

One of the nicest things about our 1966 car is its toggle switches that make a very positive clunk.

I hope you spend some time with this story today. It's incredibly important and a small window into what's happening behind the federal government's detention center doors. www.propublica.org/article/life...
