The fact we keep having the same debate on whether or not it's okay to support J.K. Rowling, be it for a video game or her newest book, must be incredibly exhausting for trans folks.
I'm hereby officially declaring the debate to be over: no, it's not okay, grow up and read a different book.
Folks, I transed my gender. My whole gender! And here I am, running on estrogen with a whole vagina that's mine. Childhood me would think I am MAGIC. Childhood me would be AMAZED.

Thanks to help from the Fiwix devs, I have DosBox fully working (no sound, CD or network support yet). I got a bit upset that there's no windowing interface for the OS (yet), so I ported Bellcore MGR to Fiwix. It's half-baked, but it works.

I can't overstate this. NASA's use of pounds and cubic feet in its outreach efforts does not come across to science-literate people, inside or outside the US, as a sign that the country is a badass superpower that can do what it likes and ignore everyone else.
Instead it suggests that the US is a provincial nation of dungaree-wearing banjo players.
