  I’ve been using (and paying) #1Password since 2008. On the eve of my annual renewal, I finally unsubscribed. 18 years! Many hundreds of dollars. The first straws were going Electron and their pivot away from an individual focus toward corpo accounts (because “grow forever” VC capitalist MBA mindbug). But the final straw was their recent fascist “philanthropy”. I’m lazy and don’t even know where I’m migrating to yet. But I know where I’m migrating *from*. Buh bye.

  I #voted. On my Texas ballot, I had 103(!!) races, about 90 of which were judges. My voter homework took 4 hours of research and tabulating, and it still felt barely adequate. What a dumb system. In the end, I voted Green in 2 races, nobody in 8 (there are some really shitty Dems out there), and Dem in the other 93. But where the Dem super sucked, I simply couldn’t vote for even a “good” Republican. In 2026, still running with an R next to your name is just devastatingly, utterly disqualifying.

  I know that #Netflix has multiple artwork versions for each show/movie featuring people of different identities, and they manipulate the audience by strategically selecting which to show. I suppose I should feel complimented that they often show me the black/female/minority title card, even though I’m a cis white guy? Even when it’s such a minor character that it’s weird and gives me pause. But in the end, I still see what they’re doing and it’s gross.

  RE: https://wandering.shop/@Catvalente/117522538704129485 The bar I (sort of) work at has also decided to describe the contents of the room, not the people who should use it. But ours are just handwritten signs like “1 toilet, 1 urinal —>”. This is a much slicker version. But we also have signs on both explicitly stating “All Gender Restroom”. Those are necessary to protect people from idiots wielding transphobic laws.
