@ryanc Oh yes, I was trying to make it match but "I am intersex" makes more sense?

Oh hey! Has anyone got a link to a really amazing article/resource on the reclaiming of slurs, how their use becomes newly acceptable in marginalised communities, etc? Something that would be good to send to a well-meaning newbie who wants to learn more, kinda thing?

Update: I just read the article, and Covid is a factor, but it started before that, and includes the NHS and the ageing population.
The first graph in the article doesn't go back very far, but there's this one too, which I have helpfully annotated:

Hello! Can you recommend a good mail app for Mac?
I do prioritise:
✅ Works very well, not buggy
✅ User-friendliness
✅ Multiple email accounts
✅ Custom inboxesI do not prioritise:
❌ Open source software (don't care either way)
❌ Price (free/low/high, I don't care)In conversation from eldritch.cafe permalink -

You do not have to put a union flag on anything, we all know which country we're in, you're signaling that you value the ~*country*~ more than people, the only people who use the union flag on anything are extremely suspicious and probably nazis, that is what the flag means you IDIOT

@ryanc That's not a complaint, that's more like they should be thanking the hotel for making the room somehow survivable at 87⁰C!

@ryanc So bizarre - that's like saying they won't update the marriage laws because there aren't enough people who want to get gay-married, but they now KNOW that there are loads of nonbinary people in existence because they counted us in the last census, and it follows that there would be more "out" nonbinary people in countries where there's legal recognition and acknowledgement. It's just a matter of time before they have to do this anyway, so why would they put it off??

I've written an informative zine about pronouns, and I'm about to go on a walk to deliver it to several neighbours who volunteered to proofread it and return it back to me with comments/criticism. I put a little ad in my town's WhatsApp group of several hundred people, asking for cis people who don't know much about trans issues to read my zine and give me feedback about whether all the concepts are explained well enough, whether they understand it all, etc.
It's a bit scary to open my work up to critique from local strangers! But also, I really like the idea of getting honest feedback that I can use to make the zine better. I would love to be able to make and publish a lil book that lots of people find really useful for giving to their friends, colleagues, loved ones, etc. that helps them learn about pronouns and use the less common ones more fluently.

I'm counting this as a win: https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaint/doctorwhotransgender
I keep being busy and distracted, but my next step will be contacting the complaints team to ask how many complaints and comments they've had on either side.

Hey font nerds, can anyone help me identify this font? I find it adorable. :D

Ohhhh, Gargron is coding a new feature: the ability to reorder images while composing new posts on Mastodon.
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/28456
If like me you're into it, please feel free to click through to this Github PR and show it some love in the form of emoji reactions. :)

Why yes I am a nonbinary cliché, being excited about the actor who plays the Doctor using they/them pronouns to talk about the Doctor. :D

UK petition: Raise the DWP Christmas Bonus from £10 for the first time in 51 YEARS!!!
https://www.change.org/p/raise-the-dwp-christmas-bonus-from-10-for-the-first-time-in-51-years-%EF%B8%8FEvery year people in the UK on various benefits get a £10 [$12.72 USD, €11.54] bonus for Christmas, which has been unchanged for 51 years. If it had risen with inflation it'd be over £100 now. [$127.20 USD, €115.40]
It's condescending and insulting. So yeah, they should fix that.
