Husband, father, geek and professional computer toucher. Owned by cats. I’m a proud adopted Brummie, even though I’m still working on the accent. Oh, and new here, so please excuse any cultural ham-fistedness. Puns are intended. Pronouns: they/them/theirs.

Having a little going away with an old boss and came up with the phrase:

"Changing jobs is just 'same fire, different dumpster.'"

How do i get a trademark on this.

I know it's important for my non-binary pals, but God does it make me feel uncomfortable as a binary trans when cis people see me and awkwardly ask for my pronouns.

@BlackAzizAnansi I saw somebody refer to Kid Rock as "Jesus Of Methlehem" yesterday and it warmed my heart like a campfire.

If anyone can help me, it's you lot, so:

How do I get into a Zip Floppy disk?

My stepmum just delivered my dad's genealogy stuff from the early 90s and it came with a zip floppy disk.
I'd love to manage to get into it and see what's on there.

Edited to add a photo of the disk.

I enjoyed playing a game of Chess on the 'MissPiggy' PDP-11/70 running UNIX v7.

I am looking for #paraplegic folks who share their daily living experience/tips/tricks without functioning legs - blogs, vlogs, etc.

It's so hard to search for content these days, but I'm sure it's out there. All I get is AI slop or fall prevention, which isn't the same.

Husband is otherwise fit and healthy with the physique of an ex rugby player (read: large) but his legs are out of order; functional #paraplegia.

Want to see the different ways #disabled people have adapted to cope with this.

I am not One of the Good Trans. I have always said this.

What I mean is: I reject the framing that picks and chooses "acceptable" #trans people, and rejects and invalidates others.
