I'm the only one at my work who still masks. Last Friday, someone I was talking to on Thursday came down with COVID. Either I'm spreading it, or I'm avoiding it.

I'm STILL livid about this.
Anyone with a heart should be.

That's a fucking war crime.

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.

Dramatic ridge of a darker grey cloud slashing across a sky, clearly deliniating a low cloud cover from a higher cloud cover.  (I'm not a meteorologist, so I don't know the terms. Just thought the length of the cloud line was pretty dramatic.)

Tonight's #sky.

I tape them to the back or underside of the furniture that needed it. It's no banana, but I know where it is.

I had a flight from Toronto to Cleveland like that. Too short to enjoy it, but man was that cool.

I looked into the Harbor Freight solar panels once upon a light age, but realized that 1) the landlord wouldn't appreciate solar panels lined up on the porch year round, 2) I'd need too many to get through winter, and 3) I'd have to drill holes in the building to get the wires through. Was close.

Ran into him once, back in the day. Was working a third shift as a cab driver, took him from somewhere in the suburbs to this club downtown. Left a big fragging tip, and the comcode to this tech shop in Lake Forest.
You never forget that walking stick.

I just recently read a military science fiction book that, while not the best of writing, included an aspect that rarely gets given any treatment in print, let alone good coverage. I doubt I'll be reading more in the series but it was refreshing to see new in the genre.

Well, with something like 90% of all bananas being clones of the same plant nowadays, I could see how people develop allergies to them. (I learned more about bananas than I ever wanted to thanks to a coworkers VICE addiction.)

Ironically, ham radio is what pulled me into IRC chat. (My uncle introduced me to the Internet maybe two years before, but I hadn't learned much before the group was introduced to ham radio. I was looking for something that did the same thing without needing a license or expensive equipment.)

I deliberately didn't want my exact name as my Gmail address. But I was able to set it for the same name as the Yahoo account I had to create when the school took back my .edu account.

I still remember two of my clevenet and Denvernet user names. And have a saved copy of VAX addresses somewhere. "Do not quote the olde lore to me, I was there when it was coded." (I may not have been one of the cooler lurkers, though.)

Coly hrap. I didn't realize it was that bad. I've never had oil heat, so I never realized the realities of what's involved.

The only reason I bring him up is as an example of the consequences of what should happen AT A MINIMUM when people are involved with SA actions. If fans and constituents pushed to remove someone from office over this, what about someone in a higher office? (Any office, really.)

It is a fascinating biomechanical thing, tendons. (Also mountains, but that's more biogeological.)

>it's hard to describe this photo for those who cannot see it. "A lot of the night sky with a hillside on the right side backlit by a bright and wide slash of white light between the nighttime road and the starry nighttime sky" doesn't seem to do justice to the image.
