"In 24 hours they'll be

Laying flowers

On my life,

it's over tonight

I'm not messing no I

Need your blessing

And your promise to live free

Please do it for me...

I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it

All that I said, I meant it, I meant it

And I can't believe

How much I've wasted my time"

    Keep two diaries. One on paper, one on the computer. People will invade one or the other, but rarely both.

    Twitter was good for this before Elon fucked it up. I had lists of scientists, who'd share their work and that of others.

    Google could go for true diversity? (Including economic diversity) It's wonderful they're hiring trans folks like yourself, but speaking as someone who fought hard outside the org …

    Do they have a tiny bit, kind of like how you'd get carded for ODoul's at a self checkout in... my state... despite not having barely any uh "active ingredient"?

    Maybe I'm conflating being supportive of Trump / Trump hats at cons with literal swastikas. (The few who donned them at Defcon were not given a warm welcome, to put it mildly.) I w…
