List of tangible protections for trans people that Biden announced today
- X available as gender marker on passports
- Working with TSA and DHS to add X to their systems
- Don't need a doctor's note to update Social Security gov't docs
- "new steps from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) will allow trans individuals to indicate their gender identity -- removing barriers to self-identification they may face in the employment and student loan process" https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/31/politics/transgender-day-of-visibility-day-biden-administration/index.html
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 https://beesbuzz.biz/ to see what’s too spicy for an entire nation to handle.
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.
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!
