For this Trans Day of Visibility, I gotta ask....

When I say "I'm trans", how news is it?

Hey, one of my fave streamers is playing the new Kirby game on a charity stream and I totaly recommend it!

List of tangible protections for trans people that Biden announced today 

- X available as gender marker on passports

Today I learned that the UAE has a national content filter, and I learned about it because my website is banned there for “pornography.”

So go visit my website at beesbuzz.biz/ to see what’s too spicy for an entire nation to handle.

Okay so in "Seven Nation Army" they sing "everyone knows about it from the Queen of England to the hounds of Hell," which implies that they're HM the Queen's hell-hounds, which means they're corgis.

a thing I think about often when it comes to normies clinging incredibly hard to their childhood media even when it's clear the creators are profiting off of bigotry is that unlike queer/minority kids, they didn't have early experiences with media that didn't love them back

My favorite printer might be out of service. 

Uh. *coughs* False alarm. The printer is now listening to the PC again.

It can help to reseat one end of a USB cable. It can also help to plug in the other end.

As for the buzzing? *shrug* Nothing seems broken and I don't smell ozone, so I'm calling it harmless for now.

Why does Windows Explorer hurt me like this?

My favorite printer might be out of service. 

When I left Pennsylvania for the the Puget Sound area in 2006I left behind a beast of a color HP Laserjet 5, and I kind of regretted it immmediately. In 2013 I purchased an inexpensive and relatively lightweight color laser printer, a Xerox Phaser 6500N.) It's seen many years of varied use, from board game tokens to gift tags to comic shop signs to tabletop roleplay maps to some banal fucking paperwork. It survived being dragged to more than one convention to make wall signs. It didn't complain much about third-party toner and I found its color registration issues endearing.

I really noticed when I didn't have it available for a weeks because it had to be temnporarily moved. I finally got to hook it back up today, and I was really glad because I wanted to print a thing.

It'll print its internal test pages, but the USB connection isn't working and the printer makes a brand new buzzing sound while it's on.

It's the most reliable printer I've ever owned. (The LaserJet had some issues.) I really hope I can figure out what's wrong with it quickly so it can maintain that title!

O VHS, the One True Format, we invoke thee. in the names Trinitron, Magnevox, Panasonic, we bind thee. in the names Hollywood, Blockbuster, Local Mom-And-Pop Shops, we venerate thy memory and thy passing.

we ask your blessing this night as we unearth a rarity of your unnumerable brood and bring it once more into the land of Living Media.

praise the read heads, the tape, the spools, the gears, thine is the freeze frame and the rental period lasting three days.

Be Kindus. Rewindus.

I have had ____ "real" jobs

(whatever counts as a "real" job for you)

(boosts for sample size appreciated)

There are many times I wish to have the same file or folder appear in two or more places at once.

Windows does not make this convenient.

They’re Frodo and his Sam,
They’re Frodo and his Sam,
One of them’s the Ringbearer
The other likes ham
They’ve hair between their toes
They’ve got a phial that glows
They’re Frodo, they’re Frodo and his Sam Sam Sam Sam Sam

Periodic reminder that the whole idea of virginity is a load of old nonsense. No-one need look up to those who have had sex, nor look down on those who haven't - there are better reasons to respect and disrespect.
