a guy keeps spamming this tweet in my cat's DMs on twitter. why is this happening. why this tweet. why [looks at notes] a vocaloid and a mine craft speed runner. why to a cat? why to a cat repeatedly?
I've resigned my seat on the UK LGBT Advisory Panel due to the government's persistent and worsening hostility towards our community in myriad areas. From conversion therapy to trans healthcare to the shameful treatment of LGBT refugees, the govt has acted in appalling faith.
Solidarity with the other panel members that have resigned and best of luck to those that remain. More pressingly, solidarity to those LGBT people whose life is worse now than a few years ago. As a trans person I know that's a lot of people. I see you and I'm furious for you.
There's precious little patience I have left for the government at this point but with what remains: get your act together. Use the panel for what it was intended and actually prohibit conversion therapy. Stop deporting LGBT refugees. Drop the trans culture war.
Beginning to get some questions about how to grow on twitch as a new streamer. I'm still new, I've only been streaming since November, and started with years and years of audience building behind me.
Twitch is crushingly hard to grow on, don't put all your eggs in that basket.
I think it's because I'm a Twitch Partner but I got that because of my *other work*, not just because my streams met the criteria. The audience that seeded it have mostly been here for multiple years. If you have that, use it. If not, start building it.
A lot of the folks I enjoy on twitch (and who enjoy me) are unapologetic nerds with brilliant obsessions. It's so much fun, it's why we're good at Geoguessr. If you have one of these, it might make streaming a lot more fun. Twitch is not yet a mainstream platform like YouTube.
'a cat is just a little guy who lives in your house' well ok but what if your cat is a big guy who lives in your house and he stands on your eyeballs to wake you up. what then
hypothetical qualification but what if he has five times your twitter following and there are hundreds of people who will always side with him when you slightly criticise him for standing on your eyeballs
on his way to step on your eyeballs while you sleep
Anti-trans group "Transgender Trend" have released a "Schools Resource Pack" which is a toolkit that will empower the neglect of trans young people, dressed up as a scientific, well-spoken document.
I'll be going through it and breaking it down on Twitter later.
To dispel the obvious: yes, I've read it. Yes, I understand everything in it. Yes I'm actually an expert in this. Yes, I've a duty to act in the best interests of children. Yes, I'm trans. No, that doesn't create a conflict of interest.
This stuff would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous. It looks good to otherwise inexperienced teachers, and *will* be used to ignore the needs of trans and questioning young people.
