This too is a trans youth healthcare issue.
Also seen in the roundup from @violetblue this week:
Allow me to give a big 🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦 and an even bigger 🤡 🤡 🤡 to the people of the Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair who decided to require masks…. ONLY FOR THE FIRST 90 MINUTES of an all day event. What in tarnation was the thought process here?????? How did y’all manage to fuck up this soft toss even more than most normie events do?? The only analogue I’ve seen to this is a business that has one day a week as a mask required day… I think it’s ok to hold a bookfair about liberation to a higher standard than that. Especially because there will presumably be different offerings throughout the day.
I hope someone who’s out there can go and hand out some flyers with other event guidelines, like
“Please do not assume other people’s gender identity or pronouns, except before 2pm”
“Racism, sexism and homophobia will only be tolerated before ten o’clock”
“There is an elevator, however, after Noon we ask all attendees with limited mobility to suck it up and try to use the stairs. Aides will be provided to assist you in crawling up and down.”

Completely Useless Legislation, Exhibit A:
Hungary has a new law that students have to surrender their phones at school. The phones have to be locked up, hauled around in safety boxes by teachers etc. Students get them back at the end of the day.
A friend of mine teaches high school. He noticed that when students get their phones back, they don't even turn them on, just toss them in their bag.
Decoy phones.
Seriously, no one thought about this?...
Random bright LEDs on charger bricks and cables and random cheap electronics accessories are so irritating. I really value being able to have a dark room when I turn off the lights. Do other people not have issues in a room full of blinkenlights and pulsating LED strips? Is sleeping with lots of annoying lights on around you 24/7 being so normalized that manufacturers don't even realize this is an anti feature?
I have to take the time to tape over, or otherwise obscure the LEDs whenever they are where people sleep (which is most rooms in my tiny place). It is infuriating and makes it look like cheap crap that is half-broken from day-one after getting it.
I am including a poll. Does this bother you too? Do you see a utility in these weird lights? Do you not mind lights being on while you sleep? Falling asleep with a TV or monitor on would be in the same category of not minding these lights in my mind. Reply if you disagree or have more nuance to include.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
