At the time of writing, 41 46 51 MPs have signed the early day motion to reject the EHRC's new guidance:

Write to your MP to tell them to sign it! Praise them if they already have!

If you have Bsky, Trans+ Solidarity Alliance have a skeet about it you can boost:

Scottish Trans (in collaboration with Trans+ Solidarity Alliance and TransActual, because the collaborative work going on here is so phenomenal) have an "email your MP to reject the EHRC code of practice" template form:

The Hansard transcript of the response to Seema Malhotra's statement on the EHRC guidance yesterday is blistering:

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Though I am breaking that a little bit because of the sheer circus going on at the moment.

As one commentator put it, what the current administration is doing to the White House is aesthetically what a meth lab does to a regular house. They've cemented over the back garden, one entire wing has been demolished and is some sort of a "building project" that may never get finished and a cage fighting pit is being built on the front lawn.

And in terms of the concert that was being planned for the Semiquincentennial of the USA 80th birthday of a certain Mangled Apricot Hellbeast, it's like a musical version of the hoky- kokey except everyone immediately jumped out and did not jump back in again, with the possible exception of Vanilla Ice... who as the headliner of anything is just... sad.

Also, we're now in June, which in the US is Pride Month, and I think it's time we got back to more of our roots on S_D and celebrate the hell out of that, because good god almighty do we need to support our local queer communities, more on that shortly.

I admit that I watched this mainly out of (morbid?) curiosity about what Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man would be like. Mostly I think it was about what you'd expect that to be like.

[community profile] birdfeeding is a community started on January 1, 2023. It's all about birdfeeding, birdwatching, and other topics relating to birds. It also touches on nature in general, and observations that may effect bird activity such as local weather. Both text and image posts are welcome. Now is a great time to join as hungry birds are easy to attract with a feeder.

Community resources include posts about birding events, nurseries that sell seeds or plants attractive to birds, bird identification apps, the benefits of birdwatching, and other useful materials. Check out the anchor posts from Three Weeks for Dreamwidth.

I may not answer (generally if it is rude, and y'all don't tend to be) but ask me anything at all.

Going to attempt to throw a question or meme up daily this month to get back in the habit of regular posting.

I did check the tags before posting this, but I didn't see anything. There are a lot of styles that look great on a computer, but condense the text/entry area to a narrow vertical column when read on a mobile device. Mobility seems to be the best one for mobile (obviously) but I kind of hate the way it looks on a computer. Does anyone know a decent theme which allows for some customization (like custom backgrounds) but looks decent and reads decently on a mobile device? Or is there something I can throw into the custom CSS section of the customize theme page to fix this? I'd love to use the 5 AM theme, but it kind of looks like crap on my phone. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I have switched back to Practicality. Thanks for your feedback, everyone.

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

DC Defenders: DEFENDERS #1-3

103 of 108. Warning for a sexual situation of ambiguous consent, but it’s one I have no trouble with.

The Defenders got its start with the roster you see here, a poorly socialized quartet that soon earned it the nickname of the “non-team.” The Silver Surfer was more like a satellite orbiting the other three. It reached its greatest commercial success (with a different roster) under Steve Gerber, whose writing was more about indulging his subversive streak than brand reinforcement. This property seems like it’d suit the old JLI team down to their toenails. Gerber might have suggested using other body parts in that sentence. )

Black Swan Hudson and Connie From Accounts, at the end of the party.

Couldn't resist using one of my favourite pics of them as a reference. Hard to figure out the fandom, though. I initially called it Actor RPF but it's not fiction, in that it's not invented, or a written work. So I've just called the fandom "Hudson Williams & Connor Storrie". The "Connie from Accounts" reference is from a tumblr bit because it's honestly what Connor looks like in that outfit, if Connie from Accounts bench pressed 150 lb on the regular, anyway!

On AO3 here.

Hudson Williams in black swan makeup, smiling happily, with his head, eyes closed, on Connor Storrie's shoulder. Connor is looking down, smiling, wearing a designer top and jewelery.

I meant to post earlier but then I kind of dozed off, whoops! Yesterday, I took my 90 mini cheesecakes and Baby Miss L's books and headed out to my sister's for Alyssa's birthday barbecue that was postponed from last weekend due to all the rain. Well, unfortunately, the weather yesterday was not really conducive to an outside party, so we ended up staying in the house. And my youngest niece, whose birthday was also yesterday, already had plans, so she (and my brother's family) couldn't make it. But it was nice.

When I got home today, I ended up having a long call with Friend L, who let me know that she's moving back to Atlanta (after being in New York for 30 years) to help out her sister with their mom, whose health has been declining. I kind of had a feeling this was going to happen, with how often she was going down there and how long she was staying each time, but she was in denial about it for a while. Hopefully I'll get to see her before she goes, and we can always facetime.

I also did the May recs update, and though there was some wonkiness with DW earlier, I think it's fixed now.

[personal profile] unfitforsociety has been updated for May 2026 with 8 recs in 2 fandoms:

* 7 Heated Rivalry
* 1 The Pitt

Because it apparently has the crud. At least two different people have posted about having issues with the site within the last day, and now I can't click on comments to other people's journal posts without getting an Oops! error. GRRRR.

I'm grateful I've still got my reading page intact, that's for sure. But ugh.
