the radio hams jamming russian military radio communications right now seem to be having fun with it, which is excellent news top tip: your enemy using consumer analogue handheld radios? fantastic! cheapest way to jam those is just tape down the transmit button on a similar walkie talkie after disabling the microphone. if you're near them, nothing will be intelligible due to how FM works :)

five hundred miles in a few weeks isn't bad I'm aiming to do 500 miles a month on average. The ebike is revolutionary for my health - I seriously can't describe fully how much of a change it makes for the better - and making every single journey by bike where at all possible is so much fun too.

Get an ebike if you can!

Experiment: used the Transgender tag on Twitch for a week.

Result: every stream a small number of accounts with absolutely horrible usernames follow, sometimes spam similar hostile messages in chat, usually get nuked by chatbot or moderators.

Accounts always banned in hours. So if I scroll through the stream manager, among new followers there's just a bunch of "Unknown User"s which is pretty funny.

It looks like it's a very small number of people or even an individual scrolling the tag and just doing it across streams. Pretty sad really.

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.

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 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

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.
