I have the Serial Experiments Lain opening stuck in my head

screw that

My laptop order is apparently "in process"

not "in progress" or "processing", it's "in process"

ok

this is incredibly gross

nonstop surveillance and erosion of privacy is child abuse, and they'll grow into adults who have no sense of boundaries or consent

which of course is precisely why Google has a vested interest in normalising it

is this a threat

are they telling me they'll wreck my databases unless I do what they say

I don't want the GRC reform to succeed to score some symbolic victory and set my pension right

I need it to as a matter of personal safety, so that I can stop outing and potentially endangering myself every time I have to show ID or travel, or having to argue with people over it

My passport isn't British. I can't change the gender marker without a GRC equivalent from the country I'm resident in; I can't even invoke that other country's gender recognition laws unless I go back

Dual citizens' British passports must match the name and gender on the other

It really ticks me off how much of discourse about gender recognition certificates is framed with the caveat of "it doesn't matter all that much, because you can just change the gender marker on your passport anyhow"

newsflash: that only works if your one nationality is British

blocking all the Brands has quickly started reducing my promoted tweets to conspiracy theorists and lovely nonprofits

this is totally appropriate outdoor clothing, right

this image is always relevant, but especially this week

when will my new laptop return from the war

all the votes are counted, but all these centrist who haven't had to make a single meaningful decision in their entire careers and who were just counting on the old coalitions to keep working just, can't cope with there being more than one option and having to actually negotiate

I love how Sweden still doesn't have a government because coalitions are too hard

Ooh, the official iOS twitter app groups notifications by thread, that's actually really neat?
