Once a month I meet with a local transgender group. Up until now, I've been attending the meetings via zoom, though tonight I'll be attending the meeting in person! :ms_transgender_flag:

re: interactions between united states law and trans people (US 4th circuit appeals court, good news), twitter and adobe.com links 

@LexYeen Hopefully this means that insurance companies will not be able to deny coverage gender-affirming healthcare and surgeries.

Your #Android phone has a so-called Google advertising ID*, a unique number for your device. Using that, #tracking companies follow and record what you do on your phone, even across apps from different companies.

Luckily, you can now disable the advertising ID to make it harder for them to track you. We recommend doing this to everyone. Here's how it works.

*Unless of course, you’re using a google-free #LineageOS, #GrapheneOS or similar. :)

I'm probably not the only person who has observed this, but the four classical elements seem to roughly correspond to the four basic states of matter.

Earth -> Solid
Water -> Liquid
Wind -> Gas
Fire -> Plasma

Oh you're an alpha male? That explains your low penetrating power

@RussellTheFox swoops in and does a somersault in the air, then perches atop your nose and pets your forehead :3

IndigiStar is a game by a Native Hawaiian (me) about the poisoning of water, military occupation, language and culture erasure are based on real world experiences of us Hawaiians, and countless other indigenous people around the world.

Racist friends: Arguments and counterarguments 

"But they're a good person!" Fine, then they should be willing to do the right thing and listen to moral arguments.

"They've been good to me!" So are you really okay with their treating others like crap for who they are?

"They're my friend!" How good of a friend are they, really, if they don't listen to you and don't share your core values?

"...I don't want to be alone." You won't be. Take it from someone who has lost multiple friends over racism. You'll find better friendships where you don't have to constantly edit yourself down to be palatable to your friends. You'll make new and better friends that you can be your own shape around. If you find yourself biting your tongue half your time around them, they're not your friends. You deserve better.
