Quite some years ago (2006-08), we brought the #OLPC AKA the 100$ laptop to Ethiopia as pilot. A surprising thing happened. The laptops were often without battery power in the morning. A thing that wasn’t anticipated. It had two reasons. One was the keyboard LED (it was removed in later series). It was used by the parents to have a light at home. The other was a bigger surprise. The parents used the mesh networking to discuss market prices for their produce. Fascinating. 1/8

(also, this is the song I was trying to sing, with the clip timed to start in the right spot: youtu.be/WiPcgmSQ5uI?si=B0aUtK )

bad relationships, introspection, cooly-distant liberation, gender themes 

The vocals are a little lost. Sorry about that.

So, like, I forgot the words to a song today. And most of the melody.

The only thing I remembered about it was that it was in Shrek. At the end. Somewhere?? And that the first two notes were a G and a D.

I assumed I was just singing that song (but had simply forgotten the lyrics) when I wrote this song.

Oops.

Anyways, I'll reply with the music so it can have its own CW.

@reese this is exactly the late night content I was hoping to see when I opened my phone tonight.

@j3s @woozong one of my favorite things to do when we get a big snow is to walk somewhere and achieve a small quest.

It's like the snow discourages running real errands, but walking through the snow to get half a gallon of milk or whatever just feels pretty dang good. It's so quiet and I feel so fulfilled afterwards.

@sandra so far as I've heard, Minnesota's public health insurance/low income health insurance covers gender care fully.

I can check with my gf, but I don't think she's had a copay for hormones, therapy, psych stuff, or most surgeries. I don't know if ffs/implants are fully covered, but I've heard laser and such can be, if you go through a bit of a process for getting it reimbursed and such.

Not exactly an answer for your question, but it might be a place to start a search? Most of the queers looking for roomies I know up here are immuno sensitive, so they're pretty cautious about living with folks they haven't met yet.
