If you're wondering whether you can trust me or not, Pro Tip: Don't trust me.
If you're wondering whether or not you can work with me, Pro Tip: Don't work with me.
If you're wondering whether or not I can do what you want me to do, Pro Tip: Don't bother asking me to do the thing.
…But if you /really think/ you can trust me, and that you can work with me, and that I really can do what you want me to do: Let's talk.

Content warning: Conversion therapy, homophobia, transphobia

I wrote to the UK Council for Psychotherapy after they withdrew from the Coalition Against Conversion Therapy... [1/2]

I am writing to you with extreme concern about UKCP’s decision to pull out of the Memorandum of Understanding on Conversion Therapy and the Coalition Against Conversion Therapy. As a lesbian who has been offered conversion therapy twice, once by a psychiatrist, once by a church leader, it was profoundly damaging to even have these authorities suggest I should do it. I didn’t go ahead with it – either time – but others are less lucky than me in that respect and are even more harmed than I was.
And believe me, I was harmed by the offers. We live in a homophobic and transphobic world and those of us who are LGBTQIA+ are left in no doubt that the world wants us to be straight, to be cisgender. Sometimes we submit to that pressure and people damage us further because we are so desperate to fit in. So desperate to be seen to be acceptable.
It is vital that we are protected from this, whether as children or adults, by joining the 27 countries that have outlawed anti-LGBTQI+ conversion therapy. For an organisation like UKCP that has such authority, an organisation that is clearly made up of stakeholders in this discussion, to back out of their commitment to oppose it, is crushing. More to the point, it’s creating an atmosphere where queer people feel less able to seek help because they do not trust that the professional body for ps…
We already live in a world where LGBTQI+ people are not safe. This is indisputable. What UKCP has done is make the world even less safe for us than it was a few days ago. And those who might really benefit from the help of your members now have even less faith in the reliability and the trustworthiness of your registered clinicians. Will we get a therapist who wants to counsel us straight, or wants to counsel us cis, if we get a UKCP-registered therapist? Will those therapists now feel like U…

If you want to bulk check/uncheck checkboxes, probably use a checkbox.
If you want to bulk expand/collapse disclosures, probably use a button.
If you have other bulk operations I did not consider, let me know with a single response.

Check-All / Expand-All Controls
Controls that can operate other controls in bulk are not new. One common example is a single checkbox that allows you to check or uncheck a group of checkboxes. Another example is a single button that lets you expand or collapse a set of disclosure widgets. When the user operates…

I still remember all the experts who told me I was just to dumb to understand the visionary direction of Kickstarter in going for blockchain. What a 16-dimensional chess it was: "Here's a lot of money if you do this technologically dumb thing."

Attached: 1 image Kickstarter's bizarre blockchain announcement in December 2021 makes so much more sense now that we know Andreessen Horowitz secretly promised them $100 million to pivot to a blockchain-based product built on the also-a16z-backed Celo blockchain. At the time, I wondered why COO Sean Leow was so insistent on the move despite being apparently very confused about the whole concept. https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/03/11/kickstarter-blockchain-a16z-crypto-secret-investment-chris…

uspol, palestine, gaza, biden
okay, I think I largely agree with #PodSaveAmerica about #palestine / #biden - like...
dataset:
1. (several months, years) "we won't even say we'll condition it, we'll ask them in private, our support is iron clad" -> zero change in gaza
2. one phone call where "if you don't change we might have to change 1" -> israel changes under the slightest hint of pressure** *
*the aid has to continue flowing for the change to be considered effective
**if israel doesn't change their assault on civilians, we'll need the administration to follow through AND CONDITION aid. otherwise item 2 backfires.
it's almost as if leverage works?

When even the #WallStreetJournal reports on micro car, Microlino (1100 pound electric car modeled after the iconic 1950’s era BMW Isetta— front hatch and all)… you think there may be some hope that we self-correct carbon course on transportation.
Or… maybe this is the ‘gateway’ car for suburban moms not prepared to go full-on-cargo #bike to get kids and groceries to where they need to be.
I’m not looking for a car, but if I were, this would be right in my lane.
