Hi everyone! My foster cat needed a surgery to save her eye, and I'm fundraising to cover the cost.

If you donate at least $10CAD I'll add a cat of your choice to a Neko-Atsume themed wallpaper ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿค—โœจ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

Labour MP slams Parkrun for trans inclusion. It's a non-competitive fun run A Labour MP has called for trans women to be banned from Parkrun following the Supreme Court's controversial gender ruling.

Jonathan Hinder doing his absolute best to make Labour an anti-LGBTQ+ Party. The fact that Labour is okay with this nonsense demonstrates how little we can trust them to defend trans people's dignity. Something they claimed they would do in their manifesto.

Definitely agree it doesn't mesh, I find it garish when they use it for timing pit stops. Think it'd be better with either a monospaced version of their normal font, or go full skeuomorphism and make the background look like a stopwatch

Not good enough. Download Festival needs to clarify that trans people should use the toilets that align with their sex - not the toilets that bigots say trans people's sex is. www.kerrang.com/download-fes...

An apt response to the FA banning trans women competing with women last week, a #TransHistoryWeek advert has gone up outside the Wembley Stadium.

Trans people have always been here and we always will be.

In response to calls to ban parties from pride for their transphobic politics, I think one thing to make note of is that if you're a politician in a transphobic party, instead of standing at pride you could speak at parliament about the shame the government's failure on trans policy brings you.

This is so, so clear in sports. Why give women better prize money, or fund coaching courses, or better facilities, or investigate abuse, when you could just ban 3 people at zero cost and get applause from everyone in the media and politics?

An excerpt from the press release from the Supreme Court regarding the recent decision about trans lives. Full document linked at the end. The excerpt reads: "In the light of case law interpreting the relevant provisions, a trans woman can claim sex discrimination because she is perceived to be a woman. A certificated sex reading is not required to give this protection."

crucially the most important thing to take away here is that *IT DOES NOT REVOKE YOUR EQUALITY ACT PROTECTIONS*.

The perception of you, a transgender woman, as a woman is still very much enough for you to be discriminated against and bring legal action. This is expressly stated in the ruling docs.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages donโ€™t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
