We've all seen what the EHRC has been doing.

Here's what you can do about it.

There are lots of protests happening today. And also actions like letter writing, or petitions.

TERF Island: the embarassing truth about Britain's Trans Panic. Condemning an entire category of people on the basis that one of them might commit a crime is the very essence of prejudice. And that prejudice plays straight into the hands of the far right.

‘The problem with declaring yourself a defender of all things normal and sensible is that you’re often the last to notice when you have, in fact, gone bananas.’

The embarrassing truth about Britain’s trans panic:

Transphobes don't want to preserve the sanctity of bathrooms, they want to erase trans people from public spaces.

Trans people are four more times likely to be the victim of a violent crime then cis people williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/ncvs-t...

I get what people are trying to do when they share photos of trans men with "do you want me using the women's bathrooms?" but we shouldn't be teaching that trans people are to be feared at all.

The Supreme Court ignored trans voices. I’m ashamed of what our law has become | Good Law Project The Supreme Court’s decision to exclude trans voices has harmed trans people – and harmed the fairness of their ruling.

The Supreme Court ignored trans voices, harming trans people – and the fairness of its ruling.

I would go on the Traitors specifically to find the answers to 50 or so questions I have about how the producers engineer such chaos.

Whenever I get an influx of new followers like today, I hope that I've been added to the some strange, unhinged Starter Pack like "These people were enemies in my dream last night".

I do it a fair bunch! When there's a very cool and tightly scripted larp (like Strangers by Nina Runa Essendrop or Arsenic and Lies by Karolina Soltys), it can be a lot of fun.

Absolutely! Pop me a message about what you're thinking.

I have to come back to Newcastle twice in December for appointments so I am slowly taking suitcases of stuff down but boy do I own a lot of nonsense.

Today I move into my new house in London ahhhhhhhh

Text from handwritten note: My Husbands ashes. I made me feel alone scared, empty. now I wonder where he is and if He's all still in His urn and if Hes ok And I Hope He's not in the Dump

ProPublica spoke with 135 people who had experienced "sweeps" of homeless encampments. We also distributed notecards so people could write about it in their own words.

In Portland, Teresa Stratton told us her husband’s ashes were taken in a removal: propub.li/4fW8YIT

"Real participation means that people with disabilities can also immerse themselves in play worlds in order to have new experiences like everyone else and to escape from everyday life for a while" Björn Butzen - Inclusion in Larp: Between Challenge and the Experience of Limits

Or this one that I wrote about designing online larps with distant players but co-located characters jarps.net/journal/arti...

JARPS - Japanese Journal of Analog Role-Playing Games always has brilliant articles - like this one from Johanna Koljonen on emotional safety design principles in larps essential for anyone building experiences jarps.net/journal/arti...

Laptop screen with "2024 Special Issue - Exploring Access and Accessibility on Analog Role-Playing Games" with colourful decorations and a cover with "Japanese Journal of Analog Role-Playing Games 2024 Issue 5". Text is also translated into Japanese.

It's time to explore some cool ideas about accessibility and roleplay!

Aha, this is where the troublemakers are, thank you! 💜

A screenshot of BlueSky accessibility settings showing the option 'Require alt text before posting'. The option is selected.

Possibly the best feature of BlueSky.

In accessibility settings, you can turn on the option to not let you post an image without alt text.

Alt text is so important but even the best of us can forget, in a hurry.

(Thanks @glasgalf.bsky.social for the tip)
