Children's books and charity comms. Bristol, UK. Nerdy gay. Cats, food, hobbies I never do but mean to, beer. Tired. Like a nan but one who's really into trans rights.

The thing is, even though Magyar Sucks Too, the *hope* is that the outright, foreceful rejection of Orban's authoritarianism will be seen as an indication that Hungarians were prepared to do almost anything to get rid of him, even voting for a barely-lesser evil.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

This is more than three-quarters of the way there! Just on the offchance I have any followers with decent incomes: if you'd spend £5 on a pint tonight, could you swing £5 to a trans woman building a safe home in the UK after seeking asylum from Jordan? Thank you!

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work*

Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

Okay, so this is a VERY interesting story on - allegedly - the impact of AI on an accounting firm. Would like to see how this one develops because it's about a legitimate but perhaps counterintuitive focus on talent pipeline giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/71a8d3fe-7816-4fbe-85f3-a0709dcdeae1

Difficult to describe how unusual it is for @icrc.org to speak publicly like this.

"Heavy explosive weapons with wide-area effects struck densely populated urban areas, including the capital Beirut, without effective advance warnings."

Confident in my ability to properly ship, I take the strait. I smile at my opponent. Supreme Leader Khamenei does not return the gesture. He’d be prettier if he did, I think. He fires. The rocket passes cleanly through my bridge, killing me instantly

THREAD.
Substack is evil. I can't emphasise this enough. Their line that anyone can leave easily & take their subscriber list with them is bullshit. I left & it cost me a large sum of money. It forced me briefly back onto Substack to try to clear up the mess... tomcox.substack.com/p/an-explanation-which-i-would-be-very

The time has come for us, as an organisation, to boycott @pinknews.bsky.social.

Despite reservations about the company, we have sometimes worked with queer and trans reporters there to tell stories we thought were important for our community - the same as other outlets.

That ends today. Why?

Please remember when you swim in the ocean:

200 meters below you, there is a layer of fish that stretches all around the world. It is so dense, that when it was discovered during WWII it scared the navy so bad they bombed it.

This is the ocean's thin inner shell of fish [🧵]

Reading about the two men behind Raise The Colours: “Founded by Ryan Bridge, whose background is in compensation claims and is currently wanted in Spain in connection with charges of aggravated fraud, and Elliott Stanley, who formerly ran a sex doll rental company.”

Ok I have seen a GOOD APRIL FOOLS JOKE in the wild.

My kids comic (Phoenix - home if @jamiesmart.bsky.social) comes in an envelope every week, we open it, had a fake cover for a soup review mag like we’d been sent the wrong thing.

Genius!

Which is to say:

Support trans people today and every day #TDOV 🏳️‍⚧️

We are currently struggling to survive a well-funded, vicious global movement of anti-science & hate that seeks to erase us, destroy us, and drive us to despair

Our enemies are loud

We need our allies to be louder

I am glad my trans folks are visible all year round but I'm sorry the world makes that so hard, and both sad and enraged for those no longer here, for those for whom safety means not living as themselves. Love and solidarity.

Paula Mulberry, 49, used to be a fully corporeal human being, but since turning 40 has slowly lost her opacity bit by bit, eventually becoming completely transluscent – at least, she assumes that’s what must have happened.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all
