In the span of a month we went from playstation not letting you own any games to claude buying, scanning, and shredding old books specifically so they can be only available in a changeable, digital form. Physical media matters at all scales and sizes and needs to be protected.

1 thing I love about children's journals and letters is that they have no reason to have any broader sense of perspective. From 2nd-3rd century Roman Egypt, the tween Theonas whines about his dad not taking him on a trip to the Big City of Alexandria: paidesblog.wordpress.com/2015/12/13/t...

Theon to his father Theon greetings. It was so nice of you not to take me with you to the city. If you refuse to take me with you to Alexandria I won’t write you a letter or speak to you or wish you good health. So, if you go to Alexandria I won’t take your hand or greet you ever again. If you refuse to take me, this is what will happen. And my mother said to Archelaos that he is upsetting me, take him away! It was so nice of you, sending me these great presents, just rubbish. They put me off the track on the 12th, the day when you sailed. Well then, send for me, I beg you. If you don’t, I won’t eat, I won’t drink; there! I pray for your health. Tybi 18th. Deliver to Theon from Theonas his son.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

In others, notably ADHD and autism, rising diagnoses and referrals appear to exceed changes in underlying epidemiological prevalence and are likely to reflect a combination of: improved recognition changing help-seeking behaviour institutional incentives pressures within existing service pathways Across both ADHD and autism, best currently available population-based estimates remain relatively stable, while administrative diagnoses, self-identification and recorded service demand have increased substantially. In autism, the evidence also points to particularly rapid growth in identified need within educational systems, including increasing identification among girls and among young people without learning disability.These patterns suggest that rising demand is not simply the result of increasing prevalence, but of several processes operating simultaneously, including: real increases in distress in some groups improved recognition of previously unmet need changing expectations about support systems that frequently rely on formal diagnosis as the primary route to assistance Across the system, support is too often accessed through pathways that are slow, fragmented and heavily dependent on diagnostic categorisation. While diagnosis remains essential for some forms of clinical decision-making, the evidence suggests that current arrangements do not always provide the most effective or efficient way of identifying and responding to need. In particular, where access to support depends heavily on formal diagnosis, demand for diagnostic assessment can increase more rapidly than systems are able to respond, generating long waiting times, duplication of assessment and pressure on specialist services. The next phase of the review will therefore focus on clarifying the relationship between distress, diagnosis and need, and on examining how systems might respond more effectively to these patterns. A central objective will be to identify opportunities for developing more coherent, evidence-informed care pathways that enable support to be provided earlier and more proportionately, while ensuring that specialist services are available in a timely and appropriate manner for those whose needs are most complex.

Still crazy to me how much these underpay creators, and yet advertisers still aren't satisfied. How bad is Twitch's ad sales team? Or, maybe a better question: how big is Twitch's cut? Cause the math is not mathing.

Excited to announce that I'll be playing Dune:Awakening on stream! The devs have provided me with a key for the base game AND some DLC 👀 I've not played this before and my Dune lore is lacking, so come watch me find out on Friday the 17th of July at my usual time of 13:00 CEST!

A poster of the Dune: Awakening game. The text reads: "FinnleyShortstuff plays Dune: Awakening Friday 17th of July 13.00 CEST Twitch.tv/FinnleyShortstuff the spice must flow" The top right shows a yellow icon of two keys. The person on the poster has two blue pigtails added, as if Finnley was standing there.
