I don't want to normalise "I'm very lucky, my GP is allowing me to continue the recommended treatment."

I remember back in the day you had to show your passport to get a Blockbuster video rental card, and so I reasoned that this meant that having a Blockbuster cards should count as formal ID because it evidences passport ownership.

I probably need to seriously look into this. I've tried to do it the way the NHS wanted up until now, but it would be silly to not have a backup plan at this point.

"There isn't enough evidence" - I mean, sure, if you choose to ignore 97% of the studies it might well look that way.

My parents said that it had been the meaning that was important to them when choosing, so I found names with a similar meaning and worked from there.

They'll just get them online, their parents medicine cabinet, or friends. They aren't going to stop access, only safe access to hormones. Trans people have been getting access to hormones via nonmedical pathways for over half a century.

I'm really out of the loop on Burial releases - just found out they put out another EP in August last year. Typically I only found this out the day after a Bandcamp Friday.

Presumably they’d report if Sir Chris expressed an opinion about how to run the Conservative Party or how to approach for writing books for children

Prior to being elected in July last year, Joani Reid was director of Reid Strategy. The firm is now being wound up. Companies House shows the nature of business to be β€˜management consultancy activities other than financial management’. Reid Strategy uses the same accountants as her husband’s firms, and accounts show that her company has borrowed money from her husband’s companies. Reid Strategy had one employee only, and no other controlling officers aside from Reid herself. The records show that she was the majority shareholder, so presumably all profits or dividends from the business went to Joani Reid.

BREAKING: Scottish Labour MP Joani Reid has said 'she is not part of her husband's business activities' after he was arrested on suspicion of spying for China

It was the text that shapeshifted.

I was scrolling quickly and thought I saw β€œShapeshifter jailed”. I re-read it and it was just a shoplifter. Massive disappointment!

Sky News: Learner driver arrested for drug driving during test
Police said officers could smell cannibals after they pulled over a 26-year-old learner driver because of a faulty brake light. He was later arrested for drug driving.

So sorry about how that went, but I’m really excited for what happens with Platform32. You and Aoife playing Alien Isolation was the first time I watched someone playing through a game in full - never mind the epic Among Us and Phasmo streams.

I understand they want interactions for engagement and eyes on pages with ads, but I wish Pink News would can it with this thing of reposting old stories with β€œFrom the archives” on the image.

There’s enough new things to be angry/dismayed at.

Google Maps screenshot of Cardiff. The wall of Cardiff castle is on the left , then there is a road and the Angel Hotel on the right. It matches the previous image.

Superted, Spottyman and Blotch on a pavement, seen from the side. There is a wall with a stone animal in front of them and a castle behind them. Superted's rocket is parked in the castle grounds.

The same image taken from Google Maps in November 2022 but without the rocket.

Kicked off St David's Day watching Superted's 1980s road safety videos and matching them to their actual locations in Cardiff.

When people go on about Polanski or Thunberg no caring about the planet anymore, can assure you, this sort of shit isn’t good for the planet
