@jepyang my partner calls them gender stickers

This isn't really directed at anyone - just seeing posts that get me thinking.

There has got to be a better way to include nonbinary people than "trans women are women, trans men are men, and nonbinary people are valid"

I know we kinda mess up the slogan with our weirdness but I don't really love being told I'm "valid" all the time. I am exactly what I say I am, the same as any binary trans person.

Maybe I'm just being grumpy..

Seeing a lot of variations on the dominoes memes where the first piece being knocked over is "Trans Rights" and I just want to gently remind everyone that we're not the first piece.

How quick was society to abandon disabled people (not that it ever really supported disabled people)? How quick were people to "go back to normal" with COVID, ensuring disabled people have to risk their lives to go to the grocery store or the doctor? How many medications used to treat chronic conditions are being restricted? How many places have brought in MAID while cutting benefits to disabled people?

Disability comes for us all. Show some solidarity - wear a mask. Protect yourself both from government surveillance AND from the various deadly pathogens roaming freely.

Canada Post doesn't "lose money". It's a service, it *costs* money. No one ever says the military "loses" billions of dollar a year. No one says the RCMP loses money. No one ever says the police "lose" money.

But when it's something that benefits people - suddenly it's not a cost, it's a loss.

Looking for some suggestions - are there any #linux servers/apps that act as either an Airplay *Receiver* or a Google Cast receiver? :boost_ok:

I have a Raspberry Pi hooked up to a small stereo to act as a bit of a jukebox for my Plex music collection, and until last month I was able to also stream Tidal to it through Plexamp. Unfortunately, Plex removed that functionality so I am looking for something that will report itself as a Google or Airplay speaker so I can at least cast music to it from my phone.
