This one maybe?
@cassolotl - When I see Girl Scouts selling cookies and they ask me if I'd like any, I always tell them I can't because I'm diabetic, but ALWAYS give them a $20 and tell them this is because the Girl Scouts are trans-inclusive. :)
A nice trans activism thing I like to do is, whenever I see an article about a school or a library or something being trans-inclusive or supportive of trans people/issues in my country, I send them a thank you card/note in the post.
They're probably getting hate mail about it from bigots, you know? Maybe a librarian/admin person getting something like that could make a big difference, now and also further down the line.
Why Jenn Keeps Meticulous Backups:
So one of the things I've been doing is copying my CD-ROMs to ISO files and away from the proprietary MDF/MDS files that aren't always usable in Linux. However, ISO isn't good for CD-ROMs that are a mix of Data and Music. So I used Alcohol 120% to rip those to a BIN/CUE pair.
Today I got nostalgic for some DOS gaming, only to find that every BIN/CUE file's music was ripped wrong. A few web searches later and it turns out that Alcohol 120% has had a long term glitch where BIN/CUE files don't rip accurately.
Rather than re-rip the discs again, I loaded up my archive from 2022 (and then 2021 when the files I needed weren't in 2022), and pulled the original MDF/MDS files from the archive.
The files work in the DOSBox application I use, so I can just keep those files as is. Quick and easy recovery because I kept multiple backups. :)

Part of why tech workers at huge orgs like this need a union:
Being compelled to relocate to a forced birthing state is violent as hell
So much more to collective power than just getting paid

@ami_angelwings - This sounds like a podcast I would gladly listen to.
@Alairthephoenix - It was! More info in a direct message. :)
@socketwench - Yeah, I'm doing that already. There's a first rise, then they're shaped and a second rise. Because the air is so cold in Seattle, I set my oven to 200F for two minutes, then leave them in there for a full hour. They rise, but rise into that mound shape.
Seeing the other comments, I'm starting to think it's the wrapping them too tight bit. The one time they came out right was the one time the rolls "unravelled" because I was making a whole bunch on a time crunch and just went with it.
