Today is Intersex Awareness Day. October 26 marks the anniversary of the first demonstration by intersex people in North America in 1996. Intersex Awareness Day aims to gain recognition and support for intersex people in their right to live authentically and unapologetically.
We stand in solidarity with our intersex siblings, team members and supporters!
looking at the epstein ballroom that Microsoft "donated" money to and thinking back on how they used to get salty at me, a lone engineer, when I took too long to do my annual "compliance" training which involved watching a video and taking a quiz about how it's wrong and against company policy to bribe public officials for preferential treatment in business.
Sometimes it’s OK to just enjoy something without deeply considering the subtleties of its cultural connotations
🥪 Aaaand that was #CrispSandwichDay 2025! Here’s one more round-up of last night’s sarnies, thanks to everyone who celebrated and shared their pics

@Viss CRAFT HERPES!
Side note about the rook. After it had spent some time gazing into the tree top and the sky beyond with a look of wonder in its eyes, it turned to me and my camera with disdain. I swear it was channeling the Teenager - this is the exact stare they give me when I take too many photos 😆
Today I met a rook who was DELIGHTED with something it could see higher up in the tree, but I know not what that was 🤷♀️
Also met this jackdaw in the same tree. Less delighted, more thoughtful. Contemplating the passing of the seasons, no doubt.
