I am so grateful that I saw Dolly perform once. She was absolutely incredible. One of the most amazing concerts I have ever been to. I think she changed into at least 2 different bejeweled crystal-spangled outfits during the show, played many instruments, and had more energy on stage than I have ever had in a single day of my life. Her voice was ethereal. What an icon. 80 was too young. ๐

We built a new website for a small, under-resourced global nonprofit, and the site launch is delayed because the U.S. state department flagged them for violation of the DEI executive order. They have to remove all "Diversity Equity and Inclusion" language from their site before we can launch it. THE FASCISM IS REAL & BEING ACTIVELY ENFORCED in case you weren't sure

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! It sucks so much to be trans and/or nonbinary in This Time! If you are looking for a trans woman to whom to gift a pizza in honor of the great Mira Bellwether, then I suggest my wife @cass because she is hella trans &amp; does so much for others &amp; she fucking loves pizza. (I&#39;m an enby but I promise I won&#39;t eat any of it, it can all be for her.) #TDoV #TDoV26 #MiraBellwether ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐

RE: https://front-end.social/@hanabel/116323901322417140 Also, it&#39;s entirely okay if you aren&#39;t comfortable being visibly trans or nonbinary right now. It&#39;s completely understandable. Sending love to the trans and nonbinary folks out there, whether you&#39;re out, or not, or somewhere in between. #TDoV

Once again LinkedIn, I would sooner spend the rest of my life in a dark, dank cave than use Clear to verify myself on LinkedIn
