happy #internationalpronounsday! 💖 my pronouns are she/her. ✨ sharing your pronouns as a cis person is a low bar for allyship. but it does help people feel more comfortable sharing their own, especially if they don’t conform to the gender binary. so pop yours in your bio!

This is interesting. A bank claimed it couldn't use diacritics in a customer's name due to technical limitations. Customer sued… and won! Your name is personal data, and GDPR says it should be recorded accurately.

Yes I’ve received a lot of feedback to that effect. Which is interesting as it sort of does what I was suggesting (provide feedback to well intentioned people who don’t know any better) while simultaneously disagreeing with me. 🙃 I have learned from this and do appreciate it.

Has this caused offence because it uses the word female instead of woman, because it mentions gender at all, because the preference would be to say ‘non-male’ or something else? I’m interested as I see tweets like this and don’t 100% understand what’s being pointed out.

I get Batman is darkness & vengeance, but too many modern adaptations forget to bundle the badass with the empathy. I loved the 90s series where, as dark as things got, there were moments of hope, Batman would kick the crap out of evil, but he'd jump on a chance to rehabilitate.
