i think i'm doing perfectly ok all things considered, but i can't help but wonder what would've happened if i'd started 15 years earlier

sending mail is expensive. stamps cost around €2. so when making all these GDPR requests, i prefer email. the problem is, how do i ID myself via email? especially if i don't want to send personal info via email unnecessarily?

i actually came up with a fun solution.

i log in to my account and set my email address to username+gdpr-article-XX@mydomain, or if i'm invoking two articles i'll make it XX-YY etc.

then i mention having done this in the email, i mention that it can still be used to contact me, and obviously i also mention my customer id number or username. doing this has worked out fine so far.

oh and if you don't know about plus sign tagging, here's a wikihow article. unfortunately it centers gmail. plus addressing is a feature of email in general so most email servers support it. (and also gmail is a bully, use something else please)

oh no i just noticed i can see my nose again!!! :akko_scream2:

how old is this meme? i accidentally reset all the timestamps in my meme folder on 29 sep 2012, so all i can tell you is that it is older than that.

i think it's from yahoo answers

it's been a while since i did one of these

five years before starting HRT and three years after

ok so this is a really good response they made.

quoting:

• Deliberate misgendering of a person is transphobia.
• Referring to trans women as men is transphobia.
• Assuming a trans person poses a risk simply for being trans is transphobic.
• Stating that trans men are vulnerable and “groomed” into transition is a transphobic trope.
• References to “trans activism” as anything other than the legitimate effort to protect and advocate for the rights of people who are trans or non-binary is transphobic.
• Alleging that Quakers have been “infiltrated” by trans activists is a transphobic conspiracy theory and we are particularly offended by it.
• The notion that supporting and advocating for the safety, wellbeing, and inclusion of trans people could be damaging to the Religious Society’s reputation, or even “might be the thing that finally destroys them” is shocking and dangerous. It is fearmongering, threatening, and extreme.

most people suck at apologising

here's something i learned in politics (that most people in politics never learn). a good apology is really simple:

1) i am sorry for what i did!
2) i will make sure it never happens again, and here's how:
3) sorry again. how can i make it up to you?

use this template when apologising! and also when someone else apologises. deviations usually means the apology is insincere

am i out of touch?

no, it's the brainworms who are wrong

i have mood swings, therefore i am

this bread i made is so crumby omg. and also i am a failure

@hellomiakoda yes, parliament finally passing the new law after delaying it for 15 years shortened my wait from 8–10 years to just a bit over 3 lol
