Trying to work out what precisely is meant by 'schrifterij' when someone in the London Dutch Church describes documents as β€˜rustende onder de schrifterij aen der consistorie’. It's not in the Historische Woordenboeken. Grateful for thoughts from early modern Dutch experts (no guesses please!).

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions:

1. Insults about:

Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality.

Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

From Dec 2nd it going to be virtually impossible for UK creators to sell anything to people in the EU.

Check out anyone whose work you like & order before then.

All the morons that voted for Brexit - including the campaign called Artists4Brexit - must be having a ball with their sovereignty.
