Trax and Mausie
How this arrangement started? A domestic meow with a little raus (rat/mouse). It's been working surprisingly well. One naps, the other tags along.
Drawing for Trax, and featuring Mausie because why not.
One of the first drawings on his new guest book, yay!
Traditional. Markers.
Itโs a detail that none of us wants to think aboutโฆwhat will happen to our children and dependents after we die.
I remember making a #will before my kids were born and addressing the details felt grim even then.
But what if you have children with #SpecialNeeds? It turns out you need specialist advice, a standard will wonโt help, it could make your childโs life far worse.
Worth reading.

"Lesbians have a strong history of supporting more marginalised parts of the community. We were there for gay men during the โ80s and โ90s when prejudice around AIDs and HIV was at a peak. So why would we not be there for the trans community, especially when they face a similar barrage of online hate, often founded on fiction rather than facts?"
Tracks. I've met gay guys with pretty awful opinions about trans people, but I've yet to meet a lesbian with similar opinions.
This year Lesbian Visibility Week is bringing together the UKโs largest queer and lesbian groups around the theme #UnitedNotUniformQueerAF
Selection bias (for the set of "people I've met") definitely applies here - so take this with a grain of salt. Equally I'm up for meeting new people ... just not necessarily ones whose world view boils down to "this group of people I hate should be dead".
edit: A friend just messaged me to say "yeah I've met a couple but they're really rare"
I've run across a paradox where I am trans and therefore cool but don't think I'm cool so therefore I'm not cool.

Somewhere between arriving and leaving, Bowie found the perfect moment to play a song. Not for a crowd, not for applause, just because the tune was ready, and the world felt quiet enough to hear it.

I also shared the full version of that process video on Patreon and Ko-Fi, you can watch it at supporting me, and also that helps my art career and to keep doing this for a living. Thank you! Also you would get to see many pictures I've drawn lately that I haven't shared here.

Some time last year, someone screen-shared a VSCode editing session with me, and I noticed it was highlighting brackets in source code in different colours according to their nesting level mod 3, so that it was easier to see which ones matched which.
That wasn't enough by a long way to make me switch editor from #emacs, but it seemed like a cool feature, and I occasionally thought about it wistfully.
Last week I mentioned it in passing to a friend, who said "Oh, in vim that feature is called 'rainbow brackets'". Then suddenly it was easy to find implementations for emacs too. I tried out https://github.com/Fanael/rainbow-delimiters the next day to see if I'd _really_ like it. After a few days, it's clear I'm going to keep it (after reconfiguring it so I can actually see the difference).

The braces and parens are coloured in three colours depending on their depth, repeating the sequence [yellow, orange, lime-green] as you go deeper, so that the outermost brace at the end of the function is yellow, the ones inside that orange, and so on.

As long as there is a way to make something make more money, some person that values money over all will force it to do that thing.
This is part of why I've started leaning so heavily away from things where the primary motivation for them is making money.

The wizard finished the incantation, and the demon appeared in the sigil.
"Let us continue."
"Do you really not have any friends who could help," the demon asked
"I cannot show weakness."
"You'd show strength."
"Quiet!"
The demon sat, muttering "I can't wait for the invention of therapists."
@TheDragon ๐ฅ I've successfully avoided Amazon since January 2020. It's not as convenient as getting everything very fast from one place but I've found plenty of other places to get things from.
I'm finding that just about any place that has a "marketplace", where third parties can sell their own stuff through what looks like a single vendor, seems to get stuffed with crap very quickly, some of which doesn't even exist and others are cheap rubbish. Sometimes they use tricks of the platform to make themselves look cheaper/better than they are, like for example I've been seeing stuff on ebay where there are options for size/colour/etc, they'll add something like a "SIM eject tool", about the cheapest tool possible, as one of the "size" options just so that they get listed first when you sort by price.
I can only imagine when they figure out how to use generative models to produce listings (or do a better job of it than now) we'll find ourselves even less able to actually locate anything worthwhile.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look. :)

This week, Stephen Timms said the #PIP cuts that being unable to cut up food, dress, wash and use the toilet were "low level functional needs."
This is my friendโs response (itโs already had 300 reposts and is currently getting 200 views a minute on the Other Place)
Please boost if you can.
We need to be seen and heard.
I have 2 close friends (one of whom wrote the letter) and a trusted acquaintance from my activist circles who all work part time, but rely on PIP to do so. None of them will now be eligible for it or the benefits that arise from being eligible for PIP.
In each case medical consultants have said they are not able to carry out full time workโฆit would damage their health and one has been told explicitly it would put them in hospital. NHS will be hit badly by this cruelty
But how are they supposed to carry on living their lives on thousands of pounds less a year? What corners are ministers expecting them to cut? Food, heating, transport?
