Post singing laughter is real y'all

Yup, if I can be there, I will

supreme court is just a council of old men in wigs telling us where we can and can't piss

Snippet from the Independent saying Baroness Kishwer Falkner, chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said the Supreme Court ruling means trans women should no longer be using women’s bathrooms or changing rooms. “It means single sex services, like changing rooms, must be based on biological sex. If a male person is allowed to use a women only service or facility, it isn’t any longer single sex, then it becomes a mixed sex space”, she told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “But I have to say, there’s no law that forces organisations to provide a single sex space, and there is no law against them providing a third space, an additional space, such as unisex toilets, for example.” Asked how she would respond to trans people who are worried about not being able to use any public loos or changing rooms as a result of the ruling, she said: “There isn’t any law saying that you cannot use a neutral third space, and they should be using their powers of advocacy to ask for those third spaces.”

I see that the Labour re-appointee for the EHRC chair is insisting trans people use mythical, segregated third spaces as a way of existing in society

Not sure she understands the "Human Rights" part of the name. But tbf the supreme court didn't either

If you’re doing the “trans men in women’s toilets” gotcha, 1) you’re making what was always a crap argument 2) you’re revealing that you haven’t read the UK Supreme Court judgment because it says trans men aren’t allowed in women’s spaces (because we look like men) OR men’s spaces

🧵It has nothing to do with sex. This ruling has nothing to do with women's safety, it is to do with the accepted impression of what a woman is. It will embolden people to attack women regardless of their biological sex if they don't fit in. Attacks on ALL women will increase, trans or cis.

'twas me....

Heylo 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

Good repair job!!

Well, very busy - and I should probably stop taking new things on - but - busy mind saves me thinking about the world burning :D

Hru?

@marc-the-ciso.bsky.social Hey Marc, nice to see you over here!

Bing maps have doubled down on Gulf of Mexico

Today at work I was examining a peripheral blood smear and found a mitotic figure! I'm so impressed to see this for the first time in real life! #haematology #biomedicalscientist #bloodmorphology #Ibms

If you're in the UK, you need to watch "Your Fat Friend" on bbc4. It is brilliant, thoughtful and should be required watching. Ty @yrfatfriend.bsky.social for putting it out there.

Once you've watched it, get onto Maintenance Phase (podcast) because this is a rabbit hole you need.

Why thank you

Finished a linen, fully lined dress, the orange was from the local scrap store, the purple from @sewmuchmoor (a little while ago now!).

@fossilheads.bsky.social nice to see you here

Hahaha yeah.
Elegant ftw

I have some lovely friends who took me to a posh doo that I (think) I didn't embarrass them at... So... One win. The other was getting to wear a dress I'd started making over a year ago.

Win win

What kind of sentence was that.

Right, let's try that again:

Oh! I just had that and it passed by - depositing a shed load of cold precipitation :D

Just had that as passed by...

Gif shows a woman saying 'Is this a pyramid scheme?'

Someone offered me a unique passive income opportunity yesterday.

Me: - ...and how is this not a Pyramid Scheme
Them: Those are illegal
M: How does it differ?
T: Well they told us it wasn't a Pyram...
M: I need to stop you there, in no normal job induction do they have to tell you that.
T: ...

This is me on every embroidery project I do

Also - I have to question why the *default* settings at this co-work environment prevent posting to bsky - I shouldn't have to VPN for that.

I should only have to VPN for nefarious reasons.

Text is a screen capture from TFL saying: Station locations Our station location feed is a geo-coded KML feed of most London Underground, DLR, Elizabeth line and London Overground stations. How often we publish a fresh copy of the feed 1440 mins Maximum time allowed between capturing and displaying the feed 10 mins Maximum time information can be displayed before being updated 4320 mins

I would argue that refreshing the London Underground Station Locations every day is excessive. I mean. My suspicion is that stations don't tend to move. And. If they *do* - getting it in a feed is probably the least of your problems.

I hugely admire the skill involved to not only embroider it - but also design it - it's way beyond my level!

That's really lovely

Estimation for this project has swung *wildly* from the client expecting there to be 40m nodes, to 700m, then when quizzed on _actual_ data - we're down to at most 50m

In the space of a week.

It's tricky to quote for this kinda stuff

Finally learnt how to make a custom feed - now finding the Sewists and Sewing posts....

You had me at sewing and embroidery

Ugh - those are the worst
