MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States.
A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports.
This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.
The discussion around abandoning the STL file format has been around longer than I've been alive. 🤦🏾
A little purr for you from the galaxy far, far away. (Sound on) 🐈⬛🤍 #cat #purr #maythe4thbewithyou
This weather has me wanting to sit on one of those green electric boxes a popsicle from grandma's freezer while I watch the cars go by and the sun go down.
Sometimes I want to give up on everything. But then the demon gives me a high five and I somehow find the will to live all over again. 🥹💕
If you've ever shared photos of your pets in my DMs I want you to know this is 100% one of my favorite love languages & I appreciate you.

An elderly woman in a blue mini cooper stopped traffic today to tell me how cute my dog & I looked skating together. 🥹💕

Depends on the application...
If it's for personal use, I really love Fusion 360. 🧑🏽💻

Getting up this morning means I have to fight the daily gender battle that is getting dressed. Only to arrive at a workplace that is going to constantly misgender me anyway.
I know it's only a tiny act of resistance. But it's my tiny act of resistance, ok?
I've spent an obscene amount of time in 2025 purchasing furniture and commodities on FB Marketplace.
I refuse to give a single coin to companies that don't believe I should exist.

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.
Maryland extended its contract with a consultant hired to flag threats to state programs by the Trump-Vance Administration.
While this might prove difficult to enforce on the general public, anyone transgender person who works in those buildings are going to be forced to choose between their job and going to the bathroom.
These orders have made it essentially impossible to be transgender and work in the government.

‼️NEW: All government agencies have been told to institute a transgender bathroom ban in federal buildings no later than Friday 1/31/2025 at 5pm EST.
It also demands funding to be pulled from anything that relates to transgender people, update paperwork to only ask for sex at birth, and more.
She's lovely!
