I'm an old biddy, semi retired, interested in science, sci fi, humour, cute animal videos, real ale, good food all the usual stuff

Sadly of late I've become rather political as my Government seems intent on destroying my country & I hate politics

LGBTQ+ ally, atheist/humanist if you're religious that's OK

Religion is like a penis, it's OK to have one & be proud of it
But don't thrust it anywhere without an invite by someone old enough to understand what it is

The Epaulette shark is only about 9 million years old as a species, making it the most recent branch in the shark family. And it is slowly but surely evolving into a land animal!

You will have to choose your side!

Sometimes when you learn how something works, you think, Thanks knowledge, that really helped, everything makes more sense, and other times you look up how wrists turn, and it's like WTF?!

staringatclouds,
@staringatclouds@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr I found that out when I broke my wrist

The surgeon put it back together but the radius & ulnar stuck together so I couldn't turn my hand over

Physio sorted it out, but they basically had to break the join & keep it broken

Even now I can put my hand & forearm palm down on a table but if I turn it palm up it stops about 10°-15° short of flat unless I really push

The most ridiculous thing about cop procedural shows is when they ask where a person was, and what they were doing at a specific time the person always has perfect and immediate recall. I'd be desperately trying to remember what day of the week that was, and trying to open my phone calendar. If I was the cop, I'd immediately be suspicious of the person who remembered exactly where they were and what they were doing.

@RickiTarr @RolloTreadway I don't have a locked phone

If the police stop me for anything the first thing they'll do is tell me to unlock the phone & if I refuse I'll be in a cell until I comply, so there's no point

If someone steals my phone I can brick it remotely & I don't keep credit/debit info on it, they might manage a few dodgy posts on social media at worst

I still have a few old phones that still work, which is what I take on marches, after they've been factory reset

staringatclouds,
@staringatclouds@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr @RolloTreadway My point is that I don't keep anything on my phone that's important enough for me to need to lock it or that I don't want anyone else to see

@dgar I have all their albums, there are so many I bought a planet to store them on, it collapsed into a black hole with the weight of the albums

I still have the MP3's & anyone who asks if I own the albums is given the coordinates of the planet so they can go & check

I guess they're satisfied as I've never heard from any of them again

@magdelenehall Given the state of the Labour party recently I'm expecting continuity Tory rather than a national reset if Labour win

If the electorate can force a coalition then we might get a reset & actual change but I won't be holding my breath

Do not ban transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards

The Health Secretary has said that transgender hospital patients in England may be banned from being treated in female- and male-only wards. We believe that this segregation is discriminatory, dangerous, and violates the Equality Act of 2010. It cannot go ahead.

Anyway, sometimes my brain creates really sad scenarios, and I play out my reactions to these scenarios, and it makes me really upset, but it's like I'm trying to prepare myself for every possibility even though it's both impossible and destructive.

I've heard it said that trans women erase women

Can anyone tell me how this works ?

Does my existence mean an author with a string of books, more money than god & a castle, somehow ceases to exist

Do my moderate achievements as a retired software spod somehow outshine those of a multimillionaire?

And if not her, then who specifically is being erased by my existence & how exactly is it happening ?

I'd love to know
