@WrenArcher @libramoon that kind of behavior is actually part of the multi variable calculus I have to run in my head when deciding to use the restroom when I'm out. I'm a transfemme enby, and often can "pass" but it's not a guarantee. A lot of time, I'll default to the men's room anyway because typically if men see a "woman" in the men's room, they'll respectfully excuse themselves or assume they made a mistake. If I don't pass in the ladies room, though, the cost feels more serious.

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Thursday, 16-May-2024 01:32:15 JST Kit Rhett Aultman Been listening to a lot of 90s music and remembering this one weird quality about Barenaked Ladies-- they were the band everyone mis-attributed other bands' songs to. When I was younger, *everyone* around me believed that "Brimful of Asha" was Barenaked Ladies instead of Cornershop, and I made it into my 40s before realizing "Roll To Me" was actually Del Amitri.

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Tuesday, 14-May-2024 03:47:55 JST Kit Rhett Aultman This is how you write a reasonable "thinkpiece" about polyamory and consensual non-monogamy. You use data and treat non-monogamous people as adults making sensible choices for their lives. And then you shut the fuck up before you insert yourself into it.

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Tuesday, 07-May-2024 01:06:32 JST Kit Rhett Aultman I'll answer this question for the dear "thinkpiece" writer. The reason why "thinkpiece" writers can't stop talking about polyamory is because the people who write it engage in the most superficial analysis of polyamorous lives possible before launching into an explanation of how their personal lives of monogamy (and typically heterosexulaity) are "better", while wishing the "weirdos" they reviewed well. Try writing better and the conversation might be different.

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Saturday, 04-May-2024 04:18:34 JST Kit Rhett Aultman @rebelandrye Well, the old square form factor wouldn't really fit, say, a Bluetooth headset very well. I get wanting smaller connectors, but we've had a decent smaller connector since USB micro. It's truly infuriating when I buy some new geegaw and discover, all too late, that I have to be sure to remember where I put its one single very special charger/cable/whatev because otherwise it's useless.

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Wednesday, 01-May-2024 13:26:23 JST Kit Rhett Aultman @Brett_E_Carlock That's an interesting concept, and I appreciate knowing this exists. Really, this is kinda a 3 month study in what I can to do have improved privacy on my phone, coupled with seeing what I can do to have a happy digital life off the big platforms. Getting it to a minimum such that it could be the daily driver phone would be a win; I can tell the matter of Slack would be a bit of an irritation because I'm an officer of my derby league and need very regular Slack access.

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Wednesday, 01-May-2024 13:07:09 JST Kit Rhett Aultman @gabek Yeah, ultimately, I'll likely butt up against, say, wanting to watch Youtube on it. There might be some app that gets around some of the more irritating parts of that. And my roller derby league uses Slack, so that'll also be a sticking point. But those are problems for future me.

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Wednesday, 01-May-2024 13:02:32 JST Kit Rhett Aultman @gabek I've got my password manager, I've got my 2FA passwords, I've got the Fennec browser, I've got Fedi, I've got Fetlife, I've got email, I've got filtering of spam calls, I've got my podcasts. Not too shabby for a first night. It's a little annoying to know that phone will not be able to access my Discord communities. I'd rather keep it clean of telemetry and personal data tracking, so that'll be a tough call to make.

Hoping to see how much of my life I can replicate on FOSS software. There will be work-related stuff that won't move over, but so far, I've got the basics covered.

I absolutely believe the big punch line quote from the story. He practically said things at that level for me to hear with my own ears.
