Mullvad has spent the last three years opposing Chat Control 2.0 – even though the law would have affected our business positively.

We will continue to fight Going Dark with full force, regardless of whether VPNs are included or not. If VPNs are included, and if Going Dark becomes law, we will never spy on our customers no matter what.

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

I've been meaning to start a manga-style webcomic for years. I got inspired by @AzulCrescent and many other artists, and like them, I also want to share a little bit of me and my life.

Unfortunately, although I wanted to hand-draw every illustration, I no longer have the time, energy, or ability (or money...) to commit. Hence, I will rely on AI for now. The last time I was serious about drawing and art was 20 years ago! I would like to pick up drawing again, yet my ADHD brain needs to see quick results to stay motivated.

Anyway, like many trans people, I came to a point in my life when I finally cracked my egg, though this happened much later in life for many reasons. Raised Catholic (#recoveringcatholic), in a very misogynistic and patriarchal society, my real self had to hide very deep, so much so that I lost her for many, many years. Unfortunately, I did not have the vocabulary to describe what I was feeling and experiencing throughout my childhood and into adulthood. Yet, I have been in therapy for almost a decade now, which helped me begin to let go of guilt and shame and accept my feelings.

I am an avid anime fan, and for some reason I did not fully comprehend at the time, I especially enjoyed watching gender-bend series, which at one point felt like a guilty pleasure.

It all began when I went to visit my folks during summer break, in a small town where there is not much to do except binge-watch anime the whole time.

This is where it all began...

I was fortunate enough to share in a wonderful experience today. A trans mom, who is a close friend, and her 2 youngest went clothes shopping with me today. The older of the 2 that were with us is also trans, and she had the best time looking at clothes, shoes, and makeup. Her mom got her a good bit of clothes and a pair of shoes, which her other mom neglects to do entirely.

The joy on this girl's face at having something affirming to wear, and when she got to try on eyeliner and say "I look pretty!" was amazing. I've never seen anything like it. It was one of the most wholesome things I've ever seen. She's almost 13, and she's been talking about this for about 2 years now. She's going to have a better life, a better chance, than we did. I'm so happy for her. Protect trans kids. Support trans kids.

Two of my kiddo's friends have come out to us as trans. They have not told their parents yet, only their best friends and my partner and me.

They all know I am trans, and that everyone in our household is queer. I really appreciate the trust they are putting in us.

It also hits me that I am not only fighting for myself. I am fighting for them, too. I was a trans kid once, and having a trusted adult, instead of being yelled at, would have made a huge difference for me.

And honestly, it feels different when someone close to you is facing attacks and discrimination, and they cannot even defend themselves or speak up safely yet. It makes everything feel more real, and it makes me even more determined to protect them and show up for them.

@HaruEb I'm pretty good at remembering and finding my way to places I've been before without needing Google Maps or anything. But, I use navigation almost everywhere I go for these reasons:

  • My ADHD brain sometimes forgets where I'm going, especially if two places I go to a lot have similar routes. Maps help me remember where I'm headed.

  • Hazard alerts, street closures, heavy traffic. I turn off turn-by-turn audible directions and only leave on alerts. This way I'm not constantly distracted, I can see beforehand traffic conditions, and receive almost real-time alerts on accidents, etc.

    • I think it's a good tool to use as long as you can get to your destination safely.
