I modded my 18 year old Thinkpad X61 tablet for USB-C charging to be able to use any USB-C PD chargers, I was tired of hunting down its barrel plug adapter, and I use this often still.
Fun fact, this X61 is serial number 2! It was purchased new by my then employer, and I was the only user.

Throwback to 2023 when I got to visit the Connections Museum in Seattle (in the Duwamish CenturyLink Central Office building). Me going off-hook on a model 354 telephone connected to a step-by-step (Strowger) electro-mechanical switching system.

A/P [Mar 25] -- ACLU suing to get a restraining order on behalf of transgender Americans whose passports are coming back with the wrong sex marker or not being returned at all. Those with "X" for their sex designation seem to be especially being singled out. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Transgender Americans aim to block Trump's passport policy change
A federal judge will consider whether to block a Trump administration policy that bans the use of “X” marker used by many nonbinary people on passports as well as the changing of gender markers.

Target’s stock plummeted by ~ $27.27 per share by the end of February, erasing about $12.4 billion in market value.
The drop came on Feb. 28, the designated economic blackout day, and coincided with mounting backlash over the retailer’s decision to abandon its DEI commitments.

🧵 The Trump admin quietly removed Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) language that prohibited gov contractors from having and enforcing racially segregated spaces and facilities (think restrooms & drinking fountains).

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

Uhh, friendly heads up:
If you get your meds from Walgreens, it's time to move to a new pharmacy. Private equity is gonna ravage an already-brutalized ability for Walgreens to service prescriptions, and then be driven into bankruptcy.
Think Red Lobster, but with meds.

Walgreens agrees to be acquired by private equity firm for almost $10 billion
A buyout to take the drugstore chain private would give it more flexibility to make changes to improve its business without worrying about Wall Street's reaction.

My wife, Rep. Zooey Zephyr, is working her ass off in the Montana legislature, railing against bill after bill, day after day. This is just one of many speeches I've watched her give... but it's one of the most powerful.
This on a bill that criminalizes us for being trans.
Watch her speak.

I continue to speak out against every bill that attempts to remove trans people from public life. And I will continue to do so for as long as I draw breath.
I hope one day the government will leave my people alone.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.
This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!
Huge win for trans people in MT!

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.

Seriously the only downside of being trans is transphobia, and that's on other people! Being trans isn't a defect, isn't something to be ashamed of, and isn't something to be avoided. It's like a superpower. It's awesome. And I'm not afraid to say so.

1. The state department has removed transgender people from its website and just reads "LGB Travelers," as reported by a number of journalists.
However, on further investigation, it is also removing trans-specific directions for individual countries.

State Department Travel Safety Website Changes "LGBTQI+ Travelers" to "LGB Travelers"
The change is an attempt to insert a divide in the LGBTQIA+ community by the Trump administration, and to erase transgender people from any consideration or recognition.
