Agree with @da_667 that this thread from @jonny is absolute chef’s kiss.
I kinda don’t think SkyNet will be able to go live in 2026…
OK this is the last #ColorectalCancer post I’ll share today, I promise!
Every year since my cancer surgery, I’ve participated in the “Get Your Rear In Gear” (GYRIG) 5K, which raises money for cancer awareness and to help fund treatments for people who can’t afford it.
It’s a great way to give back.
Edit: forgot the website link!

Welp! It's the last day of March, meaning it's the final day of #ColorectalCancer Awareness Month.
Here are 2 final good resources I recommend everybody read. And remember -- if you are aged 45, PLEASE get a colonoscopy (a screening test for colon cancer). If you have health insurance, the law requires that it be covered!
1️⃣ - Things to Know About Getting a Colonoscopy (PDF) - https://www.cancer.org/content/dam/cancer-org/cancer-control/en/booklets-flyers/7-things-to-know-about-getting-a-colonoscopy.pdf
2️⃣ - "What to Know If Polyps Were Found During Your Colonoscopy" (web article) - https://www.cancer.org/cancer/latest-news/what-to-know-if-polyps-were-found-during-your-colonoscopy.html

Hey there lovelies, it's your GAYINT Supportive Internet Auntie again!
Today is the Trans Day of Visibility, and from looking at my feed, it seems like y'all have some complicated feelings about it. Are you visible enough? Are you too visible? Does "passing" make you less trans, or less valid?
I can't answer these questions for you, darling. I wish I could. Here's what I can tell you:
I don't know precisely what you're going through. But as a cis woman who's spent lots of time in hyper-masculine environments, I've seen the power of simply visibly existing. So, for those of you who choose to be visible, remember the power that simply being seen has.
If you feel like you're not doing enough? Remember to put on your own mask first. Things are *scary* out there, and your survival is important. There is nothing wrong with doing the "safe" thing.
If you are proud of being trans, if you can't imagine life any other way, I am so happy that you find pride in your identity!
If being trans is just something you had to pass through on your way to being able to fit into your skin a little better, and you don't really feel like it's your identity? I am so glad that you found a path that worked for you!
Regardless of whether or not you feel like you're doing trans "right", the important thing I want you to know is that you are precisely as trans as you are. Nothing anyone says can change that for you.
Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Trans nonbinary people aren't confused, they know precisely who they are.
Love and virtual hugs!

Each year on March 31, the world observes Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) to raise awareness about transgender people. It is a day to celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people, while also drawing attention to the disproportionate levels of poverty, discrimination, and violence the community faces compared to cisgender (non-transgender) people. International TDOV
Sam Bent reports the White House app v47.0.1 requests 26 Android permissions, including precise location, biometric authentication, storage changes, startup, overlay, and Wi-Fi access, and embeds 3 trackers including Huawei Mobile Services Core. The piece also says the app includes an ICE tip line link and a "Text the President" feature that prefills "Greatest President Ever!" while collecting contact details. More broadly, the article compares permissions and trackers across U.S. government apps including FEMA, myFBI Dashboard, IRS2Go, and CBP Mobile Passport Control and argues many functions could be delivered via the web instead of mobile apps.
