Once again, I come back to the fact these guys have created a situation where one of the UK's leading, cis female athletes is scared to go to the loo alone, and the fact that they are celebrating this as a step forward for women's rights.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

So big tech has been hoarding cash for decades and is now shifting it all into data centre construction, right? What's the inflationary impacts of those swings in cash in the economy? Are they big enough to show up? Do we bother measuring that?

The ramifications of a society built on the 'wisdom' of markets and the maxim 'markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent' are kind of terrifying, huh?

*Stratford London, not upon Avon. loads of transport, drinks are cheap, I work my arse off keeping the lines clean and such. open to ideas like: comedy, open mic, live music, art, talks, fanfiction, 'just screaming' idk we aren't allowed any form of DJ-led entertainment unfortunately bc our licence

Hazel Southwell@hazelsouthwell.bsky.social · yesterday

right, ok, enough self-pity, I need to turn my shit pub around. it's in Stratford, it's got a (small) stage, there has to be someone who has something cool they want a space for queer-run, extremely diverse venue (we even let mumbling old white geezers in) what I'd call 'mostly accessible'

i'd say "pay attention to who has kind things to say about rod liddle, the racist pedophile, following his death" but to no surprise it is the entirety of the mainstream british press

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

More than 80% of kids still using social media despite ban, new eSafety report finds

The report provides more evidence Australia’s world-leading social media ban isn’t going to plan.

Sarah's last few videos have included some incredibly powerful history and journalism and this one is in large part her reading her own childhood fanfic and it is still absolute top tier videoing. A true polymath, a modern DaVinci.

IT'S UP!!! A brief history of the illegal hunger games a generation of teens ran on Fanfiction dot net, and the insane and complex economics thereof. NEW VIDEO now on YouTube. youtu.be/PH3U77KeT00

Incidentally I think about all the folks who are recovering/reframing the Bronte juvenilia or other collective writing/home performance as part of the history of roleplaying, & also how many of the Actual Players I spoke to had experience in forum RP and/or fannish circles like this.

If you're going to quote an 'expert' or 'researcher' in your book or article, be it on neurodivergence, mental health, nutrition, immunology or whatever, you owe it to your readers to check if most of their peers think they're a crank. Some squares in my personal Bullshit Bingo now include:
