It's the one-year anniversary of the anti-trans supreme court ruling today. If you're a cisgender woman, please read this open letter and sign. They have 200 sigs to go to get to their goal of 100,000 on the anniversary.
If you can't sign, like me, please share if you can 💜

Today I learned that the green and white swirly arrow doesn’t mean “recyclable”, it means “paid into recycling scheme”. That feels misleading to me.

"VVIQ Questionnaire:
Your score of 36 places you at approximately the 7th percentile of the population.
[...]
You have a vivid visual imagination, known as phantasia. This indicates an average to above-average ability to visualize mental images. When you picture something in your mind, you can "see it" with a reasonable level of clarity and detail."
Yeah. I really don't think they've connected up the score and the text there very well.

@Maitre Yeah, I'm kind of looking too which is why I'm curious. Still in the "what do I want to do next" phase right now though. :)

@cstross@wandering.shop Anyone trying to spin "Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man" (quote taken from elsewhere) as evidence of a Muslim conspiracy deserves every hard time they get.

@afeinman ah - yeah, I can see the number of people you’d be able to hire would be kind of limited. :)

@afeinman Interesting. I was kind of hoping for a flood of people telling me they’d found jobs, and so far you’re the first person to reply. It doesn’t sound encouraging. :-)
(For completeness, what kind of work do you offer, if I may ask?)

@gcluley Just wanted to say hi - there's no way on earth you'll remember me but I still have a pair of Dr Solomon socks that you sent me, many years ago. 😃 It's good to see you're still around.

I see a number of posts from people looking to #getfedihired - has that actually worked for anyone?
