The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.
Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.
One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

Not where I'm familiar, not where I'm expected to be, not where I've been before. I go where I'm shown my presence is not just desired but treasured.

idk, i just...
if someone isn't treating me well--not *mistreating* me, but also not reciprocating my energy--why would i maintain the connection??
i understand it may be a reflection of how they view themselves, but i'm not sure it means i should sit in limbo, either
