I think if using it for a once off project it’s fine but ongoing I think cost vs use wasn’t worth it for me.

If you find a low cost option let me know

I just cancelled after a month.
Tbh I found the additional features not much better than the free version for what I needed. An inflated cost for features I didn’t really need.

I’ve been on lookout for a software I can buy that does simple technical drawing and 3D vis but not render

Your wee reminder I'm running an event called After Section 28 which looks at the growing anti-rights movement and attacks on LGBTQ+ people

After Section 28: LGBTQIA+ rights in an age of censorship and backlash

The growing anti-rights movement in the UK emboldened by what is happening in the US and increasingly well funded is targeting reproductive freedoms, access to abortion and the right of LGBTI people

Any orgs want to be a good ally and help celebrate LGBTQ+ history month in February by sponsoring After Section 28, an urgent 1 day conference to learn from the past and consider what we do now?

Running a bit short on covering overheads, want to make it great!

So much this. As someone who understands how this could work it pains me.

It’s the staff too who are at their wits end trying to help.

My hospital doctor was an hour late a month ago because she couldn’t get logged into her notes 🤦‍♀️

Not here to berate anyone and you know there are some AMAZING folks working to improve this but like - what a battle you’ve got.

2 hours of my time today trying to find my own health data 😵‍💫

Geesh 3 mins inside a GP practice and we’ve had;

- someone needing a letter for ID for housing
- 2 walk through on apps of trying to help people to login
- 2 people being told they’ve not followed right process for appointment

Receptionist being nice but bless them - at the coal face of system

Like I’m a digital very savvy person - at least I think so and even this is baffling me

Found an SUPER important follow up appointment in patient knows best for next month without any notification 📣

Only found it because looking for a letter

I have 5 different sources of info;

Anima - GP appointment platform
Accurux - GP emailing system with separate pdf storage
Patients know best - another platform for data transfer/appointments
NHS app - appointments some data

Do the hard work to make it simple.

Shit show of GP not being able to see my hospital letters and them not having WiFi and 5 different platforms to find ‘info’ of what I need checked and the NHS login saying blocked for 15 mins as asked for too many codes to login into different platforms 😵‍💫

Thanks so much for sharing

Thank you! Blind faith here we’ll pull it off.

If you got any good networks to share into please do ❤️

🎟️ We’ve priced tickets as low as we can, but we’re still running on a deficit

🎟️🎟️🎟️🎟️🎟️ If your organisation doesn’t know what to do for LGBTQ+ history month, buy some tickets for your team.

Please come! The right are rising, they’re organising with well rehearsed tactics, and they’re powerful now

Come listen, learn from the past and reflect on the now, and collectively think through what we can do to push back on the rise of anti-rights agendas

And this matters now because we are regularly seeing LGBTQIA+ events and lessons in schools be challenged, in 2025.

📢 Speaker line up is growing with more to be announced soon. We’ve got stellar line up!

This is a real moment for me. I’ve gone from not knowing anything about Section 28 and the law that censored who I am growing up, to running a conference with the very people who fought for our existence.

⚫ How media narratives have fuelled a renewed moral panic around transgender lives
⚫How anti-rights groups operate and what we can do to fight back for human rights

⚫ Censorship of LGBTIA+ lives and identities being experienced by educators and librarians today
⚫ Our roles and agency in challenging this growing anti-rights agenda

We’re covering;

⚫ The growth of the Anti-Rights movement in the UK and the global picture of funding influencing this
⚫ Lessons learned from experiencing the moral panic against LGBTQIA+ people the 1980s and campaigning against Section 28

Even though our conference focuses on LGBTQIA+ people, this goes far beyond our rights.

❗We know there is a well funded, powerful and coordinated anti-rights movement against human rights in the UK.

Anti-rights groups are focused on working to remove human rights protections, targeting bodily autonomy, access to abortion and the rights of LGBTIA+ people
