NatalyaDRelieved the Scottish parliament passed the new Gender Reform Bill to allow easier and less medicalised/gatekeepered birth certificate amendment for trans people.
7 years this has been debated, re-debated and hate whipped up against trans people in the process.
Even this vote had several MSPs trying to wreck it or the bill itself. Transphobia is a hell of a drug to some people!

Steve Wildsmith@dharmadischarge Just found an article on the origins of music you might be interested in. I'm finding it fascinating. https://blog.adafruit.com/2015/02/02/did-early-humans-or-even-animals-invent-music-musicmonday/
Did early humans, or even animals, invent music? #musicmonday

Creature AuthorHey! You!
Yes, you there! Person on #Mastodon in the #fediverse who is reading this! Stop scrolling for a sec!

@hyperacusis If anyone knows someone on Mastodon with hyperacusis that follows them, you might want to boost this post.
OzwobblyThe Washington Post and NYT response to the
platform arbitrarily banning its reporters shows how
liberal institutions really struggle when dealing with
the far right.
They quietly negotiated behind the scenes to keep
their reporters on there, essentially leaving independ-
ent journalists and the intercept's journalists out in
the cold. This is before we even get to the targeted
purge of anti-fascist accounts that has gone largely
ignored by the mainstream press.
This meant that Musk was able to silence large
amounts of his critics while weakening the hand of
the liberal outlets. It has set the stage for a periodic
cycle of purges now.
| also want to be very clear here, this is a critique of
the editorial boards of these institutions and not the
journalists who were banned for covering Musk.
The only way to win that interaction is to go nuclear
and impose as many costs on Musk as possible
through a coordinated response on the front pages
of the major outlets with something like a blacked
out front page with the faces of the journalists below
a with a big with the headline
"MUSK BREAKS HIS WORD; KILLS FREE SPEECH, PURGES JOURNALISTS" etc.
Anything short of that means you're applying
pressure when you are in a weaker position to do so.
This is difficult for liberal institutions because of their
belief in civility politics, pretense of impartiality and
defacto trust for other institutions.

@hyperacusis Hi I'm Seve Manalo. I created this group because I suffer from Hyperacusis. It's a rare hearing disorder, that causes mild-severe sensitivity to ordinary sound levels. If any folks in Mastodon land have Hyperacusis feel free to join. You can join by mentioning the group in your toot. Then your toot will be forwarded to all members. #introduction
