A Velcro wrap! But yes it’s a noble cut for a jacket imo! Swedish!

She doesn’t really need a jacket for walking in UK weather, but standing still for an hour in 2°c and rain caught me off guard! (Also that was a race that took me an hour to be able to feel my legs again)

A medium sized black and white dog that looks a little collie and a little spaniel stands awkwardly in a grey woollen jacket

Willow has a shiny new jacket (after shivering with my brother in the rain at a CX race)

In a darkened room, 4 red candles set within a wreath of pine, fir cones, cinnamon sticks and other Christmas foliage. They burn brightly and provide the light for the surroundings.

Advent candle arrangement from local Sheffield florist to tide me over ‘til tree time.

Fascinating look at how much one band—Los Campesinos!—makes from streaming.

“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period.”

Trans inclusion after the Supreme Court decision: FAQs | Good Law Project Guidance for this time of uncertainty

There's also this on the EHRC goodlawproject.org/resource/tra...

I wonder how different this week would have been if the Girl Guides' statement had said "we're closing the Girl Guides with immediate effect due to legal threats by transphobic organisations funded by JK Rowling, which we cannot afford to contest".

Could have been the moment the tide turned.

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.

Repeatedly, charities have chosen to cooperate with the ongoing exclusion of trans people from public life rather than take a serious risk to defend us. They will survive this shit. We fucking won't. Girl guiding or the People's History Museum or whatever get to do on. We die alone.

Whilst it is absolutely true that the lawfare deployed against charities in particular, but also many other businesses, is an existential threat to them, I think it is also fair for us to be furious that the choice is always "fuck them trannies" and continued existence.

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

"I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”

What does this do for women's rights?

Congrats to you both <3

Or in the world of dating — which is deeply subjective — not for me. I wish them a partner who also likes to identify as a die hard Christmas opinion haver!

A pink post it with four stages of drawing a bike: two triangles, add wheels, front fork seat tube saddle steerer + bars, drive train

The meme 'how to draw an owl' which has two stages, one shows two circles and the instructions 'draw two circles' the second shows a fully drawn owl and the instruction 'draw the rest of the owl.'

As soon as you know the base is two triangles, I think it's pretty easy, but idk if this is also bc of over a decade of fettling/cleaning a bike properly, and this looks like 'now draw an owl'

Beige flag = someone isn’t dangerous or malevolent (red flag) but probably just doesn’t have very interesting or original opinions.

Surprisingly useful beige flag on dating profiles though.

(I agree the script is, all in all, snappy and with decent dialogue. Performances are great. But it's Whedon after Whedon ruined how people think of TV writing - so far, at least, I'm a few eps from the end)

I think it's close enough to feel the miss? Animation is fluid, but non-descript. Character design is pretty uninterested in women. And the premise isn't really... saying anything. If it's going to get that close to being a tight piece of TV storytelling it kinda then has to earn it's place.

Having finally read the majority of IEA Energy and AI report last week, all I can say is: thank goodness about this, because the world cannot afford the emissions projected from the high-uptake, or even the base-case, scenarios. Incredibly unjust, practically ruinous to climate ambition.

Also! Do you know about the hallmark Christmas movie podcast? I am enjoying the backlog very much right now pca.st/podcast/44cc...

It isn’t! I got it via a pal’s Plex server. Worth coughDownloadingcough by other means.

I watched Hallmark Hanukkah movie Round and Round this week and it was somehow the most fun I’ve had watching a movie this year so far.

Arcadia is a real formative playtext for me. Such a precise and well structured work. RIP

The Americans do a lot of stuff worse than Europe, but having two days off in November isn’t one of them. Can we add an extra little breath before the big one? Please?
