If you are a cis woman athlete, and trans women have been banned from competing in the women's category in your sport, a good way to show solidarity would be to refuse to compete in the women's category too.
It would be nice to see people doing this to help an entirely unjustified attack on us, but I feel it's unlikely to happen 😞

Looks like FiL 2013 and 2014 were both in October of those years.
The 2014 organising kickoffs that I remember were in the several months running up to it as I knew people who pulled out after discovering Bindel and TERFery & the organisers trying to stealthily set them up for shit.
Anyway, best left in the past and protect yourself at all costs. I'll keep calling Bindel and friends out as the grifting bigots that they are.
I have an amazing "Carry On" training backpack that allows me to carry a laptop, regular clothes, training clothes, trainers and swim kit. Individual compartments, barriers, the works.

May just be the fact that I have Covid, but I just see the future getting darker and darker as a self fulfilling prophecy of our idiot politicians who think they have no choice but to drive society into the abyss.
And it’s really fucking depressing.
I should probably go to bed.

Just unblocked a load of people I had server blocks on because they had animated GIF avatars and they were bricking my server’s job queue.
Have upgraded server software and it fixes the issue so I’ve removed the blocks.
If you were one of these people, sorry! It was nothing personal. I couldn’t even tell you because any attempt to interact with you in any way poisoned my job queue.

Well done! I am pondering whether to pay privately for a 2nd Covid jab 6 months after the one the NHS randomly decided I was entitled to this yr. Esp if I can get a Novavax which I am hearing is the best one for modernish Covid.
Still being super cautious, disability health stuff is already barely manageable, I just can't risk anything getting Worse on top of my usual age related deteriorations....

When I was 15, I got a new pair of shoes for school. They were too tight and caused hyperkeratosis on the ridges of my big toes. This got so bad that the skin started painfully splitting.
The right one slowly resolved itself over time. The left has got worse and worse. 36 years later it has spread to three toes on that foot and despite trying to control it with debriding, salicylic acid, and steroids, it gets worse, and frequently cracks to the point it bleeds.
I have searched and searched and searched on the internet for the same presentation, but it’s always the other side of the foot. Never on the ridges of the toe joints.
Until yesterday. I saw the exact same thing in a photo on duck duck go.
I clicked through.
“Patient told to stop sitting on foot”.
I looked down. I was sitting on my left foot.

@Sion [main] Musk was profiting from SLS either way because he had the contract to provide the lander.
But he isn’t really competition. SLS was never a viable launch system; more a way to endlessly launder money to corporate donors.

@clacksee The place is clearly due some sort of hard reset. I had hope it could avoid it - at least within my lifetime, now I'm not so sure.
The first US civil war wasn't, really, civil. Because there was a foreign occupying power to fight. Maybe every nation has to go through a 'proper' one. It certainly feels like the nation is irreperably split. Maybe that will keep them occupied for the next 4 years.
