LEAVE UK ! GO Try elsewhere TRAVEL NOW!
(choose wisely a culture but also just aim to go #EU let's say and then move around)
==========================
GET OUT NOW BEFORE NEW #VISA SHIT COMES IN #2025 !
TRY EU & #TRAVELING and say you gave it a shot and come back...
Or #Ireland frankly if not willing to leave completely...
I can help you if you can talk privately...
THE REST IS EXTRA - JUST GET SERIOUS AND LET'S TALK BASIC #OPTIONS BUT JUST GOING BECAUSE WE KNOW #UK IS EXPENSIVE CRAP!
Similar advice for T#rans people goes for others... see video below:
America’s #trans #refugees: Where can I go?
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=WjBqTdjKU7c
"Somewhere a bit more moral and green..."
I admit there isn't too much BUT many countries in EU can help you KILL #TIME AND TRY FIND other# existing places / people...
I wanted to say all that because new #Visa etc stuff is coming and best chance to try a new life is RIGHT NOW...
https://transrescue.org/leaving-the-uk-for-ireland-what-you-need-to-know
and you can even come back to your expensive #hellhole / #rented #shithole and say you tried after and pay less rent meantime by keeping light.
Take a lot of money (not all) and have rest sent you to after...
#Summertime makes it all easier / lighter packing...

@lgbtqia
The UK Supreme Court ruled today in favour of For Women Scotland, in a blow for the rights of British trans people.We know many of you will be worried, and thinking about leaving the UK. Like everyone else we are digesting the ruling at the moment, and will deliver our thoughts when we have done so.
went to my middle schooler's choir recital tonight.
showed up in full goth parent mode, i was like a 00s industrial/EBM kid got a corporate job. my makeup's finally hitting right. i looked amazing
my partner and i were probably the only queer people there. we got stared at like zoo animals and no one sat in our row. like, the entire row. one family group actively left once they saw me. very subtle.
whatever. my kid was thrilled we showed up, so everyone else can...
the best part? the finale was YMCA. yeah.
a 5th grade choir singing a gay anthem about where to find anonymous hookups, while the same parents who'd clutch pearls at two women holding hands were out there clapping and doing the dance like it's sunday service. the same people who'd call us groomers for existing...
the hypocrisy rolled in, did jazz hands, and called it traditional midwestern family values.
goddamn it was hilarious in that, i-laughed-so-i-wouldn't-start-screaming, kind of way.
...i can't wait to move.

There's currently a live petition to call for a review of the Cass report, although it has met the threshold for a government response (CW: Transphobic govt response), if we can achieve 100,000 signatures this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament and can get more publicity.
#Trans people for the way... +More Pictures wanted to represent - SEND MORE!
"Trans people for the way..." because of their diversity, personality and life...
This is what their lives make me say without doubt or thinking twice naturally because:
1☑️ they have above average or even super-human determination, undoubtedly needed for their life struggles
2☑️ they have more skills in communication and navigating interaction with life, undoubtedly needed because of simply existing and being more challenged for being different which is tested more often and more often thwarted.
3☑️ they claim their OWN #identity and find their OWN #authenticity despite being lost in depersonalization and derealization.
( ⬆️ quote taken word-for-word partially fromSecondUniverse @SecondUniverse and this post:
https://autistics.life/@SecondUniverse/114383151411852532 )
And therefore all 3 above
= more a #trained, #experienced, #proven person
That is why I like in any #human with those things trained more...
ESPECIALLY when they believe it for themselves and others...
==================
#Disclaimer / Deeper #Notes:
==================
1💗 Really happy how I said this post super-quick, but if it can be better / if I missed something as usual let me know!
2💗 I'm new-ISH to #trans people, have met and hung out with 1 or 2 so not totally fresh but I think I prefer their #diversity and just self-direction.
Other people next to #Trans people don't seem to know why they even exist or have only #follower mode setting, no other switches or #clever / #deeper #emotions, just #robot #workers for #robot #system. No #direction or out-of-the-financial-treadmill #dreams.
I DON'T HATE 'NORMAL' PEOPLE BUT... THEY BEHAVE BADLY / POORLY...
Didn't want to knock #normal / #mainstream / #conformist people but you can see my profile already that I complained how poor people are in so many departments measurably even without comparing them to anyone! (the speed and communication especially when talking to trans etc people is noticeable / stronger / less doubtful / more accepting of others)
3💗 Even the people I love or my friends over my whole life - VERY poor in many ways, or nice but too limits, too many of those!
This also shows I would be less bias even with the people I do / did like and not just have hate for everyone or to #virtuesignal to support trans in a false way.
"virtue signal" means:
the act of expressing opinions or stances that align with popular moral values, often through social media, with the intent of demonstrating one's good character."

Because of corporate collusion with law enforcement dating back to the 80s, all colour printers put tracking information on their printouts, whether you're printing a colour document or not, encoding information that ties printouts back to the specific printer used.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots
In 2018, scholars at TU Dresden created a tool to re-anonymize color-printed documents by obscuring that data:

Transitioning is without doubt the best thing I have ever done for myself. As a young person dealing with psychosis, trauma and autism, claiming my trans identity gave me a way of finding authenticity despite being lost in depersonalization and derealization. I never felt certain of myself during transition, I only achieved certainty by transitioning.
Being trans can be a wonderful healing trajectory for your life to take. To all the politicians saying hollow words about "respecting trans people" today, I want to say that respect starts by recognizing that trans people are who we say we are. When a law denies our truth, you fix the law. #trans #transRights #womensRights

For some reason the account @TTOR came up as "This account has been hidden by moderators" (or similar words) and "click to see it anyway". It's on our own servers and so was a bit strange.
I don't know why it's hidden or what basis it was hidden - any light on that #Qoto / @freemo ?
I can confirm somewhat the content is a legit and person genuine in making their stuff (bible etc involved)...
#Money Alternative?
#Money Alternative?
IF only we could gave each other something else than only money and then grow something else better between us meantime (mental and/or physical sense of the currency / it's #philosophy)...
The above is the main point and from that I'm searching for something else a bit more reliable and not saying "no money" though ideally #Banks and bad war-funding people OUT.
More than giving physical shells or coins or "respect" or jewels or "nature" and land to each other... just a bit more something else which grows another mentality (like #Payitforward or #DIY or #SmallisBeautiful #Recycling / anything else good at the same time as all that exists now... (I don't mean "scrap money").
So not #crypto in that extreme but some evolution that ticks a lot of boxes like that and actually proves itself utility like #monero / #bitcoin has even when States have tried to block it in early days and perhaps have had to try co-opt it instead as it's own compliment to #cryptography in some ways...
🔴 ENERGY ALWAYS COSTS US AND NATURE whichever way you go...
ALL attempts at keeping energy involve burning energy and more cost than just keeping it.
(I think that's right)
All this I think DEMANDS accepting wholeheartedly that you cannot try preserve what isn't on it own already doing it for you without processing / damaging / transforming things and that costs over time. Ideally just making people are fed (and not needing currency almost at all) but also in political situation WE NEED TO UNITE every time we spend ALSO.
Maybe only a volcano or natural acids can do their thing on their own but not sure much else can... or how things be used to promote a "currency for good" ?
This is part of this post (finding a currency AND THEN trying to grow better mentality from the exchanges, rather banks that devalue or are allowed use THEIR MONEY for wars etc).
Money changes make everyone poor. And poorly exchange your life for it constantly losing it's value and utility BY DESIGN increasingly with fees %'s back-room goal post changing #quantativeeasing etc...
ALL attempts at keeping energy involve burning energy costs:
electricity storage and transport are very wasteful, batteries more so and aren't great. Many things just cost life purely from existing and the want by mankind to exist in a longer ways costs more (it's always DISPLACED energy and cost).
Maybe pickled gherkins in vinegar are truly lasting longer without much more needed and reliable as food (can reuse the glass and even metal top to some degree) and even drinking the diluted acid after or for cleaning things etc.
Now we have a lot at massive #cost of #transport (#inefficiency is #embedded just to be able to get you #electricity per #mile...)
(though that has worked in it's own way if you can accept EVERYTHING is burning the planet,
Social Challanges on #Fediverse / #Mastodon - Social is not only about using Tech / Software...
My feelings about social on #Fediverse / #Mastodon - it's all positively said even if right now it's not as positive as this current outlook:
...Quality of People: Low ⬇️ 📉
...External Doubt / Paranoia: ⬆️ 📈
therefore:
...Personal Progress: Low ⬇️ 📉
...Observed Cowering in Corners: ⬆️ 📈
More 2-Way Comms / warmer people and even friendship-making needed.
#Fediverse is more than just a software-protocol, so it needs *people* to be social or trained others how to make friends more often.
Problem is that not everyone knows how to make #friends and always specifically why... but they do want to be in #meetup #events / #festivals / #clubs etc which is why they visit in person in the hope better things happen between people.
So with less in-person events or more regulations, I think online is perfect for this real social to happen, kind of like regular dating program to find someone but not being too desperate, just much more toned down to see who else is out there seeing the potential in two people really finding almost mutually-#random things to work on, or those that simply have #free #time to #help out.
If we just buy and sell each other for specific commercial #projects as the main required #relationships, then nothing much better happens from it.
#Summary:
Social is not very Social: 🚫 ⛔ but could be...
And from that better social grows and solves it's own things (my things and yours). @luna
If you are using #deltachat with a #chatmail profile with private contacts there is no chance you are going to get spam. Why?
1) Spammers can't contact you based on your phone number like with other messengers.
2) Nobody knows your private address or cryptographic key except your contacts. Without that spammers/phishers can't contact you.
3) if joining a public group with unknown members better use a second chat profile which you can mute/remove as needed.
Privacy and peace of mind.

WHERE DO WE GO NOW TO WORK TOGETHER?
FEDIVERSE?
Intelligence for me now is measured now by those who can work together and communicate / chat versus those much less. Those that can help people individually develop and grow like me. Else we fail everyone. Ironically bad people do this better than the good, so we almost just have to copy them and self-check we're not bad along the way.
If not using others mutually then we are leaving them to the Capitalist system to eat up which is a LOSE:LOSE:LOSE (ME:YOU:EVERYONE).
RIGHT NOW... Helping Others using Fediverse could be MUCH easier if people were a bit more DEDICATED.
I'm defined today by my dreams. I try do RIGHT NOW or tomorrow for the children / adults as imagining it were for me.
Together we can measurably do things and talk towards solutions (I see as improving "communications" right now AS the actual solution)
We can solve individually the same-ish problems, and eventually more as a crowd like a crowd-funder (only less money involved, more intelligence). Snowballing the right things 🌨️ =☃️+ 🏂 / 🏦 🚫 = 📊 #FreeSchool
