Last Notes npub1342jtvm7ane9dpk66lpl95j2u4fhmlswer8h4t4wvd0lmwypjelsctlngw Sarah Brown Just seen someone saying they support bans on trans healthcare for under 18s because “let kids be kids”.
npub1342jtvm7ane9dpk66lpl95j2u4fhmlswer8h4t4wvd0lmwypjelsctlngw Sarah Brown Imagine being one of those academics who realised in the 80s, or even earlier, that software development needed to be an engineering discipline.
npub1342jtvm7ane9dpk66lpl95j2u4fhmlswer8h4t4wvd0lmwypjelsctlngw Sarah Brown UK TERFs hate this one simple trick! Use your workplace toilets legally by adding the word “cleaner” to your job title and carrying an emotional support mop.
npub1342jtvm7ane9dpk66lpl95j2u4fhmlswer8h4t4wvd0lmwypjelsctlngw Sarah Brown In his culturally significant work of 1995, Mr Cocker gives an allegedly autobiographical account of a night spent in a field in the southern English county of Hampshire. The account is based on a claim, supposedly overheard, that someone makes detailing their abundant possession of a number of substances which probably include a mixture persil and chalk dust.

npub1342jtvm7ane9dpk66lpl95j2u4fhmlswer8h4t4wvd0lmwypjelsctlngw Sarah Brown It is with a solemn voice that I must announce that the amphetamine do be like that again.
npub1342jtvm7ane9dpk66lpl95j2u4fhmlswer8h4t4wvd0lmwypjelsctlngw Sarah Brown The cruelest thing about how ADHD, the neurological disability with the stupid name, is treated by doctors is that they know how to stop our brains being in a state of civil war, and the best ones ration relief to as much as 12 hours a day before dropping us back in the shit. npub1342jtvm7ane9dpk66lpl95j2u4fhmlswer8h4t4wvd0lmwypjelsctlngw Sarah Brown @[url=https://fedicy.us.to/cy]Cy[/url] It's not that good always.

The thing that wrecks my sleep cycle is it stopping too early so I get racing thoughts and hyperfocus before bedtime and then I’m screwed. npub1342jtvm7ane9dpk66lpl95j2u4fhmlswer8h4t4wvd0lmwypjelsctlngw Sarah Brown Amphetamine is clearly known as “speed” because of how quickly it puts you to sleep. Obviously.

npub1342jtvm7ane9dpk66lpl95j2u4fhmlswer8h4t4wvd0lmwypjelsctlngw Sarah Brown I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.

This is usually what you want, which is why cameras do it. If you do not want this, dial in some exposure compensation. Dunno about android but in iOS you do it by swiping up or down after doing long press for focus and exposure lock. npub1342jtvm7ane9dpk66lpl95j2u4fhmlswer8h4t4wvd0lmwypjelsctlngw Sarah Brown @[url=https://awscommunity.social/users/TammyGentzel]Tammy Gentzel[/url] The closeup is the iPhone.

Could snapshot the entire machine state at the push of a button and save it to floppy.

It’s what said Guardian reading PTA chairs upgraded to. The original BBC Micro was a 32k 6502 based thing built like a tank so that school kids couldn’t break it. Its thing was that it was very easy to plug home made hardware in. It’s kinda the original inspiration for the Raspberry Pi.
