My wish is for every single future trans person to be able to accept themselves without ever having to first reach that sorry state of “fuck it, it's either this or death, so just fuck everything”.

The passage through that point of pain is so pointless. We deserve to start out from a place of joy.

@mae reminder (per @glitch):

More than three years into the pandemic, the millions of people who have suffered from long COVID finally have scientific proof that their condition is real.

NBC News reports: "Scientists have found clear differences in the blood of people with long COVID — a key first step in the development of a test to diagnose the illness."

First, did y'all know the Techno Girls fansubbing group from back in the day is still alive?!?

I'm sending things over so I can get some physical copies of some things from them and I cannot explain how excited that makes me! #anime

There’s another GOP candidate debate coming up with the leader of the pack notably missing again. The rest of them should have to answer questions that he has raised in his latest “Truth Social” postings about Gen. Mark Milley, Jack Smith and Fani Willis. Do they agree with him? Do they condemn his words? The GOP has got to start to take ownership for the things their de facto leader says. They can’t be allowed to continue to deflect and dissemble.

There’s plenty of fish in the sea, and they are having a great time without you

Linux sometimes reports a USB peripheral as "Generic Mass Storage Device".

Suddenly strikes me: isn't that a pretty good description of a black hole?

I you wanted some tasty modern recreation fonts of the olden days of Apple, here's a chart with the old name on the left and its modern counterpart on the right (they are searchable and all free)

An amazing piece of sculpture by the artist Frances Bruno Catalano, which symbolizes the vacuum created by being forced to leave your land, your life, your people... for any reason.

Over the the last few months I've been working on an SL home for my RL wife. She wanted something that had the feel of Inara's companion shuttle from Firefly but with more room. So I built a shuttle and created custom drapes/curtains, a few rugs and told her to decorate it as she saw fit. I added a few things and this is where we ended up. I need to learn how to set environments for everybody to experience. #secondlife #mesh #sl #virtualworlds
