Me, reacting to the 'Trans and Tired' stereotype: Big Müde. 😴

@wanye_m Yes, they're M6. Tolerances on most bolts/screws are quite sloppy, but it probably won't matter unless you're building a rockets ship or something 😉 The length of the bolt doesn't include the head, so they're 60mm & 40mm.

@wanye_m Did you get subjected to this misery of a dinner Wayne, or did you opt out?

@hiMaisie There IS lots of wind in the cloud, I guess....

@fowkc @matingslinkys Yeah, I was all set to go down, but it was a busy steaming day and they'd booked out by the time we arrived.

@matingslinkys @fowkc Oof, I tried to get into the reservoir earlier this year, super keen to get a look in! Looks gorgeous.

@fowkc I might have been on a tour of the reservoir in April 2017...

Just saw down at my mother in law's, she's got the football on. I've got two questions: Why is there a ball, and where are the rollerskates?

@kimperial_march @scattermoon This remains THE most interesting thing I know about you. Such a wonderfully cool skill to have.

I know some skydivers, actually. Don't see why people treat it as such a scary thing. It's just a really down-to-earth hobby.

@CT28114189 Can you tell me how the film exemplifies free speech?

@Samathy_Barratt As long as you don't incite to violence, fill your boots. But realise that you are on the wrong side not only of history but also of truth. Incidentally, why on earth anyone would want to picket a film that exemplifies free speech, God only knows.

Women's Place UK were showing an anti-trans film "Adult Human Female" in Nottingham today. We are being non-threatening outside their Methodist Hall venue today. I am tired and I wish I wasn't here, but there are a bunch of other trans folk and allies here so it's all lovely.

@katie_fenn For sure, we're actually just standing about outside the church chatting. Zero intimidation, not even any chants 🤷

@Samathy_Barratt She accuses the protest of intimidation, by filming her, while she’s filming the protest 😙👌

@katie_fenn Oof, her tweets are *chefs kiss*.

@Samathy_Barratt The person filming, that is.

The TERFS keep coming out to take photos and video of us. The rozzers showed up briefly and just drove slowly past before leaving.

Shortly after we arrived, news came out that the Methodist Hall venue were lied too and told that the film was a Domestic Violence film. The minister has stopped the anti-trans hate film from being shown. We're remaining here for the time being.

This week is #TransAwarenessWeek. As a feminist, I’m proud to call trans women my sisters. As a queer person, I stand against any attempt to divide the LGBT+ community. When trans people are under attack, they shouldn’t have to face it alone. We must all stand in solidarity 🏳️‍⚧️

@DRMacIver I got a text recently saying they've increased my speeds from 100/10 to 125/20. But fast.com says I'm hitting 45mbps down and 17mbps up 🤷

@DRMacIver I've been on Virgin consumer M100 for years at 2 houses. Roughly 2 outages a year, fast enough that I never find myself going "Ugh, {streaming service} is buffering again". I hate doing the out-of-contact cancellation dance everg 12-24 months though.

Do any of you use virgin broadband in the UK? Is it any good? They're claiming implausibly faster speeds than the fibre to the premises options I can find and I don't know whether to believe them

This is an "I want to follow people on Masto" post disguised as a "Sign up for exclusive content" post.

I posted photos from my Sunday roller derby game on Mastodon, and you're missing out.
