@j12t yes, I agree. There is a fine balance between diplomatic exchanges / compromises between trade partners & the current US mobster mentality. The latter will end badly due to bridges burned.

So yes, a EU with a spine would be nice. Also because enforcement is not only needed for US bigtech but others as well incl in the EU itself.

It's Friday! Woohoo!

It's also the 3rd anniversary of the Sparkly Friday Dancers.

Every Friday.

For three years*.

That's quite... a thing**.

Three year anniversaries are apparently celebrated with leather gifts so I got dancer no. 1 a hat, which seems appropriate as it's also silly summer hatting season.

So, once more with feeling - have a good weekend if you possibly can :HumphStomp:

(footnotes in reply, ran out of space)

A looping drawn animation. Three simple figures wearing black leather caps do a simple dance standing on a cloud against a teal backdrop. A rainbow arches behind them and there are sparkly stars in the sky. A curly number 3 sits on the clouds, and the word YEARS dangles below.

OK I declare, in the words of Borat, "Great Success"* 🎉 (*with minor issues)

3D printed the chassis in 2 parts in grey 'PLA tough", glued together, then assembled.
(single part print was a disaster)

and the case fits together, *and works*! (this was a broken hinge psion)

Minor issues: -
1. the base flexes a bit from the hinges, will try another print in PETG to see if that helps.
2. with the "minimal tree supports" print there is quite a bit of clean up, and some of the overhangs are a bit scruffy.
3. the battery compartment seems to be catching slightly and doesn't fully close.

but... this was a non-working psion with a very fragile inner, and now it works and is usable again.

I'm going to experiment with a PETG print next to see if that helps the flex, might test some support changes too, the other option is to see about getting a JLC3D print done in something else 🤔
I'll upload the current model to makerworld, might jot down a blog with all the pics.

ugh, you really can’t do anything without a license in the UK these days

(two ice cream vans drove past me while I was writing the alt text for the picture. I was unable to verify their licenses)

I still don't get why you'd want to be worth enough money that your completely accidental death would boost the GDP of the country you live in by a significant percentage. And they're at war. Which is tanking the economy. Which is in a bubble.

For those of you who enjoy small acts of kindness:

A few days ago, I went to a photographer to get new ID photos after starting my transition.

His job was simply to take the official pictures and send me on my way.

After taking the passport photos, he looked at me and asked:

“Are these your first photos as a woman?”

I smiled and said, “Yes.”

He paused for a moment and said:

“That’s not acceptable. You’re not allowed to smile in passport photos. It can’t be right that you don’t smile in the first photos of your new life.”

Then he asked me to look back into the camera and smile.

He took a few more portraits, printed three large photos for me, handed them to me, and said:

“These are your first photos as a woman. Take them. Consider these a gift”

I nearly cried.

Sometimes people don’t realize how much a small gesture can mean to someone else. 💜🏳️‍⚧️

Yer Feff @feff

@lazcht Thanks for this! I'm Feff, this year work has been a bit much so I've not had a lot of brain space to do a lot of fun new art around making comics but here's some older stuff that I still like.

When I have more time I do like to play with watercolours and textures.

Just discovered part of my HRT has been discontinued due to an AI note taking error. Gynae did not say discontinue, and I have letters to prove it. Now I may have to be without testosterone until this is proven, which may mean another 6 month wait to resee a gynaecologist via NHS. Hopefully my letters will suffice, but currently unclear.

I am beyond furious. Also, wow. Fuck living in this dystopia.

Keep every medical record you get, you're going to need it in this new terrifying timeline.

Journeys In Film @JourneysInFilm

On this day in 1942, Anne Frank received her first diary for her 13th birthday. On the cover page, she wrote: 'I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support." When she went into hiding during the Holocaust, her diary was one of the first items she packed.

Journeys in Film offers free Holocaust Education resources based on award-winning films to support educators who are teaching "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl".

#FootpathFriday

Some old wooden and brick steps, going upward in a narrow alley between bushes and wooden fences of homes on either side. They are rough and a little crooked, and their path weaves a little and curves as it goes up. The steps are formed squared-off brown logs across the path and the logs are also set perpendicularly at the edges, so those stick out forward a bit on either side of each step. The landings of each step are reddish bricks in a simple pattern. The stairs have moss and clover and other green growth over everything. They look worn down and weathered, too. Further up the stairs at the top, sunlight crosses the path and there are a few pink flowers growing at the sides. At the very top there is a dark archway of plants and a street lit up with sunlight beyond that. That top part is out of focus, with the main view of the picture being the steps at the bottom, in closer-up view.

Stop de #Gluurbril @StopdeGluurbril

Wil jij ook voorkomen dat we in een samenleving terecht komen waar alle privacy in de publieke ruimte verdwenen is, ook in klaslokalen, kleedkamers, horeca, etc? En dat allerlei biometrische gegevens (je gezicht, je houding, je looppatroon) worden verwerkt door grote techbedrijven, zodat je altijd herkend kunt worden? En ben je tegen het normaliseren van dit soort technologie, zoals nu gebeurt doordat gluurbrillen gewoon door opticiens worden verkocht?
