These days it is basically irresponsible/public disclosure to send out partial details for clout. Machines can dig the same or similar reports given focus areas. Disclosure is better than none, for sure, but triggering panic, triggering unmanaged new discoveries and so on, that’s not good behavior.

Even when your job is to absorb horrors, please try and understand that it is: - Absorb a subset of the horrors - Absorb the horrors within working hours(even if you're volunteering) and attempt not to absorb them outside of working hours.

@transsafety.network can we get a different thumbnail on the tpuk/honour oak piece? I swear it used to have something different as a thumbnail, and an image of a trans woman bleeding is probably unideal to be on people's timelines without a warning?

I am actually genuinely fuming about the cyber guy not knowing what PHP is. I've been fighting for fucking years to be taken seriously as a woman in tech & still regularly get talked down to & some bloke can just turn up on TV as an *expert*, without the first fucking clue.

Hmmm. Normally "cyber correspondent" means a different thing to me.

We're starting off with a two-part series on things I've learned over the past nine years of building security programs at startups, specifically focusing on how you get the actual work done: structures.systems/blog. Give it a repost so the folks who need this can find it!

Did he go the fash pubs too? The ones with giant st George's crosses and Millwalll merch? Interesting on many levels: was he welcome? Is patronising them betraying his politics, or doing outreach?

right, ok, enough self-pity, I need to turn my shit pub around. it's in Stratford, it's got a (small) stage, there has to be someone who has something cool they want a space for queer-run, extremely diverse venue (we even let mumbling old white geezers in) what I'd call 'mostly accessible'

Fifteen minute sissies sounds like something Tony Blair would use to justify invading Vanuatu.

Not enough people seem to know this but: The reflective window film you can get? It also reflects IR and UV, so if your home is overheating in the sun, you can put it on your windows and you'll get much less solar rise. It's 100% removable too, so you can do it without your landlords permission.

Trans men, I am constantly fucking reminded, are men.

You’re not alone. Our trained LGBTQIA+ volunteers are here to listen to any concerns you may have as a result of the revised EHRC guidance being laid before parliament. We’ve supported the community through trials and tribulations for over 50 years, and we’re here for you today.

This guidance operates at an organisational level, so allies can make a real difference even individually and in small numbers by being vocal, annoying, and making it really inconvenient to be transphobic. Don't let discrimination be the easy option.

As for cis people: protect your trans friends in whatever way they need, whether that's care or distraction or practical support

As ever for trans people when there's alarming news: remember that transphobes want you afraid and hopeless. Seek out expert analysis, rather than the worst possible consequences. Disengage when you can, and read more only when you're in a good position to do so. Protect yourself and your comrades.

Thank you Jess and Good Law for this concise, measured, plain English explanation of the new guidance as it relates to trans people

They recently got together with 50 volunteers to assemble the tourniquets - all based on the Palestinian-created Glia design and 3D-printed in Tuscon. They'll be used to treat people injured by Israel's devastating attacks on Lebanon - all that's left is to ship them.

DMDM (@dmdmmutualaid on IG) are raising funds to send 200 tourniquets to Lebanon on our upcoming shipment. Just $15 can get a tourniquet into the hands of medics and help save lives.
