- Trans men are men
- Trans women are women
- Trans rights are human rights

It's not rocket science, OK? It's literally *that* simple.

I see you. Always. Same goes for all you non-binary folk out there.

Let everyone live their lives as who they are.

I see you, wanderer.

The air tastes of ozone and old stars.

Something just stepped through that wasn’t meant to walk this side yet.

What did you let in or what finally let itself out?

Linux has totally sparked my brain in ways I didn’t expect. I haven’t had excitement like this in tech in a while. Sure it can be challenging at times (Arch is all terminal), but shit works. Don’t be afraid to try it out. I suggest Mint for newbies

I rerember when I first saw #Saccharine, it was a wee little GameJam entry at a magazine I worked for.
Look at it now, all matured and commercially available. They grow up so fast *sniff*.

Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.
