Absolute scenes in the crochet community today. Sirdar have announced their next Crochet Along blanket is Harry Potter themed. They’re auto censoring comments that show support for trans rights or criticise Rowling. The craft community has always been welcoming. This isn’t it.
A HMRC official was sacked because he was caught on camera saying he gives wrong information to black and brown people when they call for advice in a bid to sabotage them. He was a member of the far right group Patriotic Alternative. How many more?
I was told by a Labour MP this week that this couldn’t happen and I was wilfully ignorant. Damn, I guess she was wrong. I guess I do know what I’m talking about after all.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 5d agoA trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
![A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."

I don't think enough people know there's a long running BBC documentary series that shows what RNLI volunteers go through on a regular basis and it's some of the most compelling stuff on telly www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
Saving Lives at Sea
Ordinary people, extraordinary bravery. From trawlers in peril to struggling swimmers, meet the army of RNLI volunteers working to save those in danger - whatever the weather.

Absolutely fascinating watching the confusion in England as to why masked men are allowed to march wherever they want and intimidate whoever they feel like while the police and politicians do nothing. *waves from Northern Ireland*

Unofficial Hacker News frontpage bot@hn-frontpage-bot.bsky.social · last wk.Automattic founder Matt Mullenweg has been placed on a forced paid leave of absence by the company's board. CFO Mark Davies will serve as interim CEO. While the board expressed confidence in the transition, the specific reasons for this sudden move remain unclear.
I've stopped writing my novel. It was becoming too good and I'm legitimately worried it will become sentient and destroy civilization. Warning shots like the novel Don Quixote have shown how disruptive this technology can be. Do not underestimate it.
If i was the police I would simply arrest the organiser of the illegal militia events?
R4 Today seems to be struggling with a news story in which the UK government have acted decisively and competently?
This Neo-Nazi is attempting to target RNLI volunteers. The police have to act, and the Prime Minister should be making a public statement.
