@transactivismuk.bsky.social I have a query. A family friend is reaching out for resources for parents of gender questioning kids. Websites or parental groups that are positive. Wondered if you had some recomendations.

Was watching a Bill Bailey in #Vietnam show and came across a band called Nam Tα»™c. Blending rock and traditional folk. Pretty great, liked their work a lot. They're on Spotify and YouTube but sadly no CDs in the UK to be found.Which is a shame cause Dad would love it.

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it

Given a lot of brain surgery is done with the patient awake, to help monitor things - this could be doable. I'd be asking for it if I were the patient, but I work in a medical lab so I may not be typical.

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

Patients with ulcerative colitis have fewer protective Ξ³Ξ΄ intraepithelial lymphocytes and higher numbers of inflammatory Ξ³Ξ΄ T cell subsets, but show a reversal in distribution when in remission.

Hi, @tomadams83.bsky.social just noticed when trying to find a TNT account on here that you seem the closest. Any chance of passing the word on for the second qualifications?

PS - Sorry for the repost. Typos and can't edit.

TNT Sports just repeatedly misgendered Elis Lundholm, the Swedish trans bloke competing in the women's Moguls during the qualifications. It isn't like Elis' status is some secret. #WinterOlympics #LGBTQ #ElisLundholm

How dare a literally leader in Starfleet sit in a chair weirdly? That isn’t professional! I have a hard time imaging Kirk or Spock doing this? What is this woke propaganda in my Star Trek? Treks really gone downhill, this isn’t Star Trek!

ICE officers impersonating utility workers, Oregon lawmaker says NW Natural issues notice telling public how to ID its employees and contractors.

Multnomah Country, Oregon, has posted warnings to residents that ICE agents are impersonating utility workers.

You read that right. ICE is now impersonating utility workers in order to gain access to people's homes and businesses without a warrant.

The War Between the Land and the Sea is a bit mixed. I enjoyed it but there were of course issues.

I am curious what indigenous folk, especially of North America, will think of the finale. All of this has happened before, and nobody saw that it was happening again.

I am so sorry to hear this, and that the BBC pushed you into this. I love that show so much and you created a wonderful thing. But you taking this stance and standing up as you are is a thing to behold in itself.

Shame on the BBC.
