Huge news on Patreon! Because of the Apple v. Epic ruling, they are not only dropping the 30% Apple Store charge on the iOS app, they are also halting the move to subscription billing for all creators - which would have affected creators like me, who use a "per video" structure than monthly.

Awesome thread live posting through Judge Reyes eviscerating the govt attrny in the tg ban TRO
Switching tracks to a book Reyes read lately. Talking about Sumerian language and gender.
Reyes is pointing out the differing way we identify "sex" in science and language. Asks attrny if he knows that intersex people exist? He does not know the science behind that.

They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the

If you purchased/paid $$$ for my books, YOU own those books, not the store/corporation you purchased them from. So, I'm okay with you stripping out the DRM so that you can continue to own the book. Solidarity. But please be cool and don't then upload it to a pirate site. My kids gotta eat, too. :)
Hey, regarding Amazon disabling USB downloads:
It can be totally bypassed with a download of free software, and one can strip out the DRM, by following the instructions at the link. Then the files are yours to do with as you will, as they should be.

Is anyone making an accessible list of all the anti-trans stuff the Trump administration is doing, or should I do that?
I know people are reporting on the individual actions, but I'm thinking something that can be used as a reference guide.
