Welcome to #TransTuesday!

Let’s dive into a complicated topic that a lot of trans people struggle with, myself included. We’re talking:

SEXUALITY IS NOT GENDER.

Also - bows Bows BOWS! (they’re related, trust me)

In the @emf opening ceremony I spoke about how a total lack of government support for the arts has made running UK festivals extremely risky.

When I said that three weeks ago, 42 festivals had cancelled or gone bankrupt THIS YEAR.

It is now over 50.

Worst part of updating my talk: looking up how fucking many more Starlink satellites there were than last time I gave a version of this talk. 200 more than a month ago. Fuck.

There are now 6,209 Starlinks in orbit, fully 62% of the 10,009 active satellites in orbit.

All of these "fully demisable" Starlinks are planned to burn up and deposit their metal in Earth's atmosphere. I just saw multiple 100-pound pieces of another SpaceX "fully demisable" rocket, so I'm sure it'll be just fine.

The hotel security was curious why I’m taking photos of hidden stairwell placards.

“This engraving font is named Gorton and is well over 100 years old! It was originally made for camera lenses in the U.K. It’s everywhere around you, usually in places like these.”

This is the framing Apple wants to sell for their decision to withhold features from the EU, and blogs are parroting it.

In reality, Apple is purposefully withholding these features from the EU, either because Apple are being retaliatory against EU customers for the existence of the DMA, or because Apple (with full knowledge of the DMA for years) refused to build these features in compliance with it.

Apple chose to harm their products in the EU. The DMA didn't. This framing is marketing.

Post from AppleInsider: "Unintended consequences -- Apple isn't releasing Apple Intelligence and other major operating system changes in the EU, because of Digital Markets Act interoperability mandates"
Post from Daring Fireball: "EU Users Won't Get Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring, or the New SharePlay Screen Sharing Features This Year, Thanks to the DMA"
Post from 9to5Mac: "Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring to Mac, and SharePlay Screen Sharing won't be available in the EU at launch"

I set up my "Light Wash Denim" installation at #teardown2024 yesterday with considerable help and total creative control provided by @AlieGG. She seriously needs to print business cards with the title "LED Stylist" on them because she is GOOD at it!

The Post Office Horizon scandal resulted in the deaths by suicide of four adults. It is rightly seen as a national disgrace.

We now have credible evidence that, since Dec. 2020, 16 trans children have died by suicide while under NHS care. That’s compared to 1 in the 7 years previous. Government policies on trans healthcare are having a real and tragic effect. Labour has promised, if elected, to continue those policies.

I moved to the UK in 2010. I lamented to a colleague that the most frustrating thing about being an immigrant was not being able to vote.

My friend put me straight. Commonwealth citizens legally resident in the UK (regardless of how long we've been here) are allowed to vote. You just have to register.

Are you Canadian? Australian? Indian? Nigerian? If you're allowed to live here, you're allowed to vote.

Today's your last day to register.
