My favorite Ren Faire story:
I knew a guy who kept a Starfleet insignia pinned to the inside of his garb. A few times per season, some folks would come to the Faire cosplaying as a Star Trek landing party, investigating a “primitive” world.
He would take them aside, show his insignia, and identify himself as a Starfleet officer on a cultural research mission. He’d call them out for breaking the Prime Directive and ruining his research. Then he’d demand to know what ship they’re from, and threaten to get them court martialed if they didn’t change into something less conspicuous.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility, and I want to highlight two organisations doing such good work for families in the UK, Gendered Intelligence : https://genderedintelligence.co.uk/donations and Mermaids: https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/?form=donate
Donating to either/both would be a great idea today. 🏳️⚧️
Trans people can't be as visible as they want (onhere and elsewhere) because of cispatriarchy, homonationalism and other manifestations of white supremacy, so I guess I'm posting for the queers I rarely or no longer see. Love to everyone who doesn't feel comfortable with visibility because of hostility, neglect, and gaslighting 💖 Ilu have a great day (racists eat shit)
Friendly reminder to occasionally scrape all the lint out of your USB C ports with a toothpick.
I don't know what it is about the shape of USB C ports but those things collect and compact lint and dust like no other port before them. No less than 4 times, someone complained to me that the charging port on their phone is busted or spotty, and it turned out to be lint preventing cables from going all the way in.
