Well. As expected, the administration is erasing our existence as a thing they acknowledge as real and valid in all ways they can:

I'm seeing rumors that the state department is confiscating documents of those who are attempting to get passports with updated gender markers.
As I feared.
This doesn't mean those of us with updated gender markers will have them confiscated when we try to use them, as well, but it's possible. :/

My mental health is just not great right now. It is impairing my ability to do literally anything. I am not in danger of self harm.
I am not thinking clearly. I am not making good choices. I am flailing around and am difficult to interact with. I am not following or retaining information.
I don't know what to do. Stupid trauma.
It S U C K S.

I need to get off of megacorporation controlled computing platforms. I still don’t have a good solution for a Linux tablet computer with equal utility to an ipad. I particularly want good pen support, which seems to be the biggest hurdle.
I wonder how Linux would run on this?

Since I just set my old toots to expire, it's time for a pinned #introduction toot!
My name is Dana. I live in Minnesota. I'm a #trans person in tech. I'm solidly Gen-X. I like science and tech and SF&F and #ttrpg games. I got a TINY patch in the linux kernel like 20 years ago and am still bringing it up.

How do we keep Sarah McBride and Zoe Zephyr and Leigh Finke and all the other high profile trans politicians safe? Because holy crap this is going to get (more) violent.

Every time I have to interact with financial institutions I get anxiety.
Well, more anxiety, I suppose.
Was that the right string of numbers? How do we count 3 days? Has a bunch of money just gone into the void, never to be seen again?
Hate it.

Here’s the truth: nobody trump nominates should be confirmed. Their only fitness for duty in his eyes is, “will they obey my commands, no matter what those commands are?” And that is explicitly NOT what a qualified nominee should do. So, QED, none of them should be confirmed.
Of course, if you are fine with an authoritarian, non-democratic, oligarchic religious dictatorship, then you are not going to have a problem with that.

Achievement unlocked: passports, passport cards, and ancillary documents have arrived/returned.
Not that, logistically, using them would be easy, but at least we have them in our possession.
The amount of barely restrained terror free floating in the environment continues to be not great.

This more or less goes without saying, but the changes to moderation rules on places like Facebook are a multi-pronged attack on queer people. To the extent that FB is useful, it’s through the fact that “everybody” is there, and can be connected with. When it’s rendered inhospitable to a minority, then “everybody” doesn’t include that minority. 1/3

Which is not to say I’m staying on FB. I’m not. But you shouldn’t, either.
3/3

It makes the minority less visible — possibly utterly invisible — to the majority, and it simultaneously robs the minority of the benefits of connection to other people (both people of the majority AND other minority community members). It serves to further isolate the minority and robs them of support and resources. It is violent and bullying behavior.
Staying on FB means you are drinking at a nazi bar, and leaving means isolating yourself from the “benefits” of the platforms connections. 2/3

Personally donating 1 million USD to an incoming fascist administration that actively wants to hurt trans and queer people — let alone other minorities and women — is a very bad look for a tech CEO who is a cis gay man.
Actively disgusted. Coincidentally my new Linux laptop arrived today and is pretty great!

On the one hand, you can’t afford them. On the other you have some pens already and you should make use of them first. You just have to clean and ink them. Ink is cheaper than pens. It’s okay to want new stuff, but be judicious. There are plenty of more important things to spend money on right now.
Maybe a new nib for a pen you already have?

No, Dana, you do not need to be shopping for fountain pens. It will not help.
