Had my hair done, picked stuff up from the studio, now checking out the rig for Sunday's vinyl afternoon at The Polka Hop Wakefield.

Quite pleased I've got this back into a working condition, lights included.

WAKEFIELD! Tonight (25 Aug) I'm hosting the Open Mic at OUR HOUSE, a dry (non-alcoholic) 16+ safe-space venue on Kirkgate 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

6pm-9pm, great coffee, fab people and an awesome vibe whether you're a performer or just want to watch 🎶

Music, spoken word, comedy, drag all welcome. There's a PA, mics, somewhere to plug instruments in and a piano!

DM if you've got questions, need reassurance, or just want on the performer list a little early.

See you tonight!

Catching a little bit of #TOTP to de-stress from being a #Wakefield fan at the half. Christ, were Depeche Mode still in school at this point or am I older than I think?

Two stupid penalties in the last five minutes of the half give Castleford a lead and momentum in a game that we've pretty much bossed - without reflecting that on the scoreboard - up until that point. Frustrating as all hell.

So, terf stickers round Wakefield and no trans representation on the stage at Pride. Words fail me.

TONIGHT! The Wakefield Pride Afterparty 🏳️‍🌈 is THE place to be from 6pm at The Polka Hop 💃🏼

Me and my friend Jay will be spinning a vast selection of quality LGBTQ+ classics, bangers and bops, adding much-needed trans and lesbian visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ Everything from Against Me to Zucchero and a shedload in between, in a bar with real ale and big dyke energy.

📆 SUN 13 AUG, 6pm-late
📍 The Polka Hop, George St, Wakefield
❗️ 18+, small stairwell into the venue, flashing lights

YORKSHIRE PALS! I'm DJ'ing this Sunday for the Wakefield Pride alternative afterparty 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ A *proper* aftershow run by queer people for queer people.

Come across if you fancy! Starts about 6pm, goes on until late.

Decent beer too, not this chemical shite you get in supposed LGBT-ally bars who slap a few crinkled rainbow flags up to get that pink coin (she said cynically) 😉

I'm DJ'ing this Sunday for the Wakefield Pride alternative afterparty 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Maybe wear something ridiculous, and DEFINITELY play ridiculous songs.

Come across if you fancy! There's proper beer too, not this chemical shite you get in supposed queer bars who slap a few crinkled rainbow flags up to milk the pink pound (she said cynically 😉).

Maybe even the only aftershow run by queer people for queer people.

In Wakefield, up to 22 schools will have solar panels installed in a £2m project. That money will also fund climate education for the children.

The seven misconduct byelections were in two #labour seats and in five #conservative ones. #labour lost one misconduct byelection #hartlepool to the #conservatives - their sole gain! - but retained the other #cityofchester very comfortably. The #conservatives lost four out of five - #northshropshire , #somertonandfrome , #tivertonandhoniton and #wakefield - but just retained #uxbridgeandsouthruislip . #wakefield was taken by #labour while the other three went to the #libdems !

I've just checked the score and I'm not sure Wakey are going to win tonight. #SuperLeague #RugbyLeague #Wakefield

The curse of Andrew #Wakefield- thousands at risk of #measles in #London, with #university age #students most at risk as they didn't get #vaccines during the fake #MMR scare.

Die Anti-Vaxxer sind eine der größten Bedrohungen weltweit für unsere Gesundheit. Menschen wie Andrew #Wakefield sind durch ihre Falschinformationen für sehr viele Todesfälle und Gesundheitsschäden verantwortlich.

#York #University #OpenDay today.

Last time I was here was staying with Sprow for #Wakefield 1998 #Acorn Show, where we were selling WimpWorks to dev tool starved folk.

Phoebe was on display for its release later that year 😔. I might come a close second to @thomholwerda as a platform killer!

Leigh Leopards have surprised in three ways this season in #SuperLeague. Firstly, that someone would design that kit they wear; secondly, that Leigh would actually approve of and wear that kit; thirdly, that they're doing this well in their first season up. But the important thing tonight is that Wakey won a second game! Get in there, Trinity! #Wakefield #RugbyLeague

I'm saying nothing, @steveHampson

Wait a minute.
OpenJDK has something called project #wakefield to implement #WayLand for #Java.

But reading through the notes, we have some interesting language choices.

Excerpt:
"
... org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast
...
Drawbacks and caveats:
...
- User can deny permission request
"

@_@ They put "deny request" as a drawback.. to using the wayland API for screen capture.

@pistolenkind85 Wie bitte? Die #Wakefield "Studie" ist doch einer der bekanntesten und weitreichendsten Scams ever!
