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
