If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.

Like we need to be extremely clear here that the problem is that Labour is expecting accolades for stuff like the headphones thing whilst they are actively being atrocious to trans folk, immigrants, the climate, protesters…
For some reason, probably to pay homage to the new prime minister stealing its best lines, they’ve stuck 24 Hour Party People back in the cinema. It’s just the most gloriously silly film, even better to stumble out of a late showing on a Sunday night with about a dozen people watching, recommend.
I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

With the final report of the autism, ADHD and mental health review expected soon, here's a reminder of what their interim report actually said. We, as a community, helped bury this by giving all our attention to a misleading Times headline on publication day instead. Let's not do that again.
Rosie (she/her)@airfriedrosie.bsky.social · 4mo agoRemember 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)
moving in and unpacking just feels like a doomed mission to reverse entropy
Because people under 25 pay less for rent, food and living than people over 25, they get a discount didn’t you know?

truly my most "I am very basic and I don't care if things seem complicated I think they can also just be simple" opinion is that you should buy a house or a flat if you want a place to live in and I just don't really care if price goes up or price goes down, you have a roof! that was the whole point
One of the reasons I hate the “super genius who doesn’t have time for social conventions” archetype is that I recognize it’s a power fantasy for guys exactly like who I was when I was the shittiest person I’ve ever been.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.com · last mo.As a former pretentious little shit who grew out of it, rationalists (et al) annoy the piss out of me because they are adults with the mentality of tweens - they are somehow still convinced they are the greatest geniuses who have ever walked the earth. It is the worldview of an arrogant baby.
Its What3Words accounts filing day! They're doing so great. Nothing to worry about. I'm sure "the launch of our advertising revenue stream" will offset the "lost major Enterprise customer". Ads are really profitable now, right? find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/0843...
So Reform have launched an app that tracks small boats arriving in the UK in real time, and already their supporters are complaining that it's boring because there are hardly any boats. They are SO close to getting it.
I think we need to put our squeamishness aside and engage seriously with how effectively and rapidly feminism has been co-opted by the right in the UK.
Really enjoyed It's A Superpower?? over the last few weeks - an audio sitcom by autistic creatives which is smart, knowing, silly and a lot of fun. Why not give it a whirl?
The Daily Tism@thedailytism.com · 3mo agoFive autistics walk into an autism support group - before immediately realising what a stupid fucking idea that was. And that’s before the mysterious earthquake and useless magic powers. It’s a Superpower?? Chapter One is out!! allmylinks.com/itsasuperpower

Two RNLI volunteers were pictured in Portsmouth this weekend while responding during the Patriot Platform protest. The far right responded by identifying them and branding them “traitors”. This is what the far right’s “peaceful” activism looks like.
