Re my previous boost, you have to be a UK resident to sign, but please anyone else if you could boost the original post to get it greater visibility and help tell the transphobes to fuck off.

Right.

Transphobic asshats have got a petition to repeal the GRA to over 10,000 signatures. Fuck that. Let's get this one higher:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/701159

Petition: Allow transgender people to self-identify their legal gender.

We believe the government should change legislation to make it easier for trans people of all ages to change their legal gender without an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

@Raelis @CanisRufus Here is the new link, someone opened a new issue saying "clarification" wasn't good enough:

https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/933812-safety/suggestions/49048013-sensitive-social-issues-bullet-points-need-to-be-r

Twitch are updating their rules & decided that LGBTQ+ is a "Sensitive social issue" & needs to be hidden behind a content warning.

Obviously this is bad for LGBTQ+ streamers & a slippery slope, so please if you're a twitch user, vote on this feedback petition:

There's a lot more I could have written about this but... look we've all seen this a million times before, we know how it works, how bad actors abuse it to mass report and bully and where it all goes.

In light of the Internet Archive losing its appeal to hachette, I just wanted to point out some websites you should avoid:

* https://annas-archive.li/
* https://downmagaz.net/
* https://ebook-hunter.org/
* https://forcoder.net/
* https://freemagazines.top/
* https://liber3.eth.limo/

If you were to download books from these websites, you might cut into hachette's more than three billion dollars of annual revenue. So make sure to avoid those websites and the following:

* https://libgen.is/
* https://oceanofpdf.com/
* https://pdfroom.com/
* https://pdfstop.com/
* https://pdfdrive.to/
* https://pdfmagazines.club/
* https://sci-hub.se/
* https://singlelogin.re/
* ... or any of the other sites listed at https://rentry.co/megathread-books

Oh look, a big stone thing! Currently visiting Durham with @jackyCatnap

Still not sure what to say but going to try and put something together anyway. Rest In Peace Dragoneer.

The impact you had on the fandom and the legacy you leave is gigantic.

It's no exaggeration to say that Furaffinity is one of the pillars around which the current fandom built its self in the internet era. No site is perfect but it gave and still gives the fandoms creative a place to post thier work, connect with and grow thier audiences, to make a living.

So many people I know I met through it, communities formed through it, so many peopple discovered the fandom, conventions, friends through it.

I only met you once, many years ago, but I remember the friendly enthusiasm you spoke with.

Thank you.

4 hours ago Dragoneer died.

He died struggling against the US health care system that viewed him as a nuisance. He was actively denied the help he needed. Help that could have meant he'd be alive now.

You can see his struggle here: https://bsky.app/profile/boringkeith.bsky.social/post/3kz3ydmc3jk2s

In mourning, we owe it to him to share his story, and do whatever we can to make sure this never happens again.

At the very least, make sure that people pay attention.

Marrow 🔜 BLFC? -🔞 (@boringkeith.bsky.social)

The owner of FurAffinity just died suddenly while struggling to get a diagnosis and getting actively screwed by the US healthcare system. It's... rough to look at.

Cannot post this often enough - it sums up the root cause of the rioting, looting, violence and hatred in the UK just now
