Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban “gender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.

Just for trans kids.

You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to “protect the children” like they claim.

Give me a break.

I think people have been gate keeping Mastodon a little bit. The narrative that it’s for nerds or difficult to understand or set up seems far fetched.

People understand email and sign up for it right? We used to copy and paste code to add music widgets and confetti to our MySpace page, and that was widely popular.

So why is selecting an instance and understanding the separation of feeds such an ask?

Maybe we should change the conversation around the Fediverse and tell people what it allows, and what it does different than focus on the five minutes of mildly inconvenient setup.

Reevaluating my password manager (1Password no longer supports vaults that aren’t synced to their service) decision in the wake of LastPass just giving the hell up.

Mac, iPadOS, and iOS support needed; has anyone gotten to a place they like? I’m fine with syncing vaults via S3; if that gets popped we’re all doomed anyway…

Re: #lastpass #breach - and specifically those using Lastpass Families, there’s a whole lot to consider regarding whether to migrate to a new service or not.

Here’s what I hope is a useful thread 🧵 of things to consider for your next steps…

If you are just joining Mastodon (as I am) a good basic explainer for what's different (and what's the same) about it.
