Existing as a trans person in the UK is very weird right now: apparently cis gatekeepers should have the right to determine what I can do with my body for my entire life, but asking people to wear a mask during a global health emergency is a bridge too far? Make it make sense.

I don’t do roommates but if I did I wouldn’t want to live with someone who didn’t think my life mattered, believed wild conspiracies, and supported domestic terrorism against our Capitol. I want to feel safe in my home and I wouldn’t feel safe living with someone like that.

I remain convinced that it’s all staged to give Hancock a way out that is not directly due to the government’s (and his) disastrous handling of the pandemic. Resigning over a ‘fling’ means the blame lies with him; resigning over Covid could see the downfall of the entire lot.

Not sure how I feel about adultery being used as a reason to discredit someone's political career. Matt Hancock's done enough to be sacked 1,000 times over, having a messy personal life is the least of it.

As a gay woman, you tell me I can't have a 'political or societal conversation' and that sounds a lot like I can't talk about my wife at work. Bc being in a gay marriage is a f'ing political statement to people. Im angry.

Companies are part of the solution or part of the problem. If you "ban societal and political discussions" you're abdicating your responsibility towards your marginalised employees who don't have the privilege of ignoring these problems. @dhh @jasonfried - very disappointing.

I'm really grateful that the FSF board took the time to clarify this. This makes it crystal clear that they's rather have RMS around than become an inclusive and welcoming environment to more than half the people who write software. Toxic to the core.
