Hey, something that regularly bums me out is that #Lego continues to make Harry Potter products. Lego brings me a lot of comfort, but their complicity in JK Rowling's hate campaign sours that significantly.
As a trans person, it makes me feel kinda helpless and invisible.
So I'd appreciate it if y'all could help me boost this petition across the fediverse, and share it around with group chats, and other socials if you're on them!
Not necessarily because I expect Lego to listen to a change.org petition, but because it would give me a lot more hope and faith in people if the voices saying "Hey, it's really messed up that Lego is doing this" were a lot louder than they are now.

“I discovered that words like ‘LGBTQ’, 'people of color', 'woman' and 'diversity' had completely disappeared from their sustainability report for 2024.”
Business journalist Iben Schmidt read Lego’s latest annual report and sustainability report ‘and they’ve basically been scrubbed clean of inclusion and diversity.’
Someone proposed that LEGO make a set for the Stonewall National Monument in New York. It seems really well-designed to me, and LEGO's policy is that if a proposal gets over 10,000 votes, they'll actually consider it and respond. It's sitting around 9,500 votes right now. You can vote for it at the link below.

Have you ever thought "I wish I could make a lego train that's cat sized"?
Well this mad bastard (not me!) has actually done it, and it's super neat with a lot of thought that's gone in to it. And it includes points! And automatic coupling and door opening!
Building an RC Lego train that cats can ride in with 3D printed rails and wheels. My 2 cats Cookie and Muffin are tired of walking, they’d rather travel by L...
Instead of chasing the latest gadgets and trends, let's see what we can do with the hundreds of thousands of excellent robots that are already out there. Saving the planet, one programmable brick at a time.
LEGO interface panels are beautiful, iconic, and great for learning interface design basics. I bought 52 of them from BrickLink to explore the design, layout and organisation of complex interfaces.
Finally got round to finishing my Lego Large Dalek design, needs a fair bit of refining, and would likely have to rework the joint, but I really like this concept ^_^ Head spins and eye goes up and down.
Let’s do a proper #introduction. I am Slothdude, a hobbyist #sloth #artist. I used to draw sloths on an app called #DrawQuest until it shut down, and then for a while drew sloth portraits of people on another app called French Girls until that shut down, too. Now I draw sloths wherever I can, usually with an iPad app #Procreate. I do slothified versions of fine #art as well as cartoons and #fanart. I am also a #lego enthusiast. I can be found under the handle @dqslothdude on the bird site.
