Labour continue to repeat the same old ways to disappoint me on a regular basis - coming out today with "we want full access to EU markets but without doing anything for it", and claiming this is different from Tory policy... which is to maximise access to EU markets but without doing anything for it. Like, if Labour want to have the same Brexit policy as the Tories that's their call, but them lying to claim it's substantially different is something that REALLY upsets me.

hi cis journalists! we're glad you're here and we hope you have a great time covering this beat. quick style guide before we begin:

*accommodations* are gender-neutral, but *people* are non-binary (if they tell you so)

also the "identity" in "gender identity," the "preferred" in "preferred pronouns," and the "dentifies a" in "identifies as" are redundant, and your editor will love how much space you save by leaving them out

I wanna test a theory. Help me out? :)

It's about language and #Mastodon branding.

apparently a TERF made this to mock trans people and it's actually just the best thing?

"I am sorry to bring this up," said the alien, "but I've been on your planet for fifty years."
"So?"
"So why am I still called 'the alien'?"

Think about this time when you complain about LOUD WOMEN TALKING ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES

Hello fediverse! https://lib.reviews/ is a free/open/nonprofit alternative to proprietary review sites like #Goodreads, #Yelp, #IMDB.

It plugs into #opendata sources: #Wikidata, #OpenLibrary and #OpenStreetMap (OSM integration is very basic at this point). Still a long way to go but we have a small community and lots of reviews already.

If wheelchair people have to tell (UK) train stations 24 hours in advance that they're travelling, and non-wheelchair people can travel spontaneously, how is that not discrimination?

Amazing how people who are self-described "brutally honest" never seem to give out brutal complements or be brutally vulnerable.

They can't just be like "Hey @KitRedgrave that skirt looks motherfucking fabulous on you and if you don't like it, tough shit." or "Jesus Christ I am dying of nerves right now at this interview. Just telling it like it is, bruh."

We can tell those who have done a find-and-replace if "LGBT" for "gay" in their mental lexicon but haven't really thought through the implications.

So they say stuff like this "I'm LGBTQI myself" thing, but also things like, when same-sex marriage came in: "now LGBT people can get married!" yeah, um a lot of us already were. Friends of mine are annoyed about "LGBT parliamentarians" since there aren't any openly trans ones; they argue you shouldn't include the T where it's not represented.

And like, this one, right.

I have known so many people who stop having facial expressions when they just can't any more. To me this guy doesn't look emotionless, he looks FULL of emotion.

You're just bad at reading facial expressions, I guess. You know, that thing you say we autistic people are bad at...
