Saw some of my art mutuals have had their artworks 'fixed' by others on social media.

Speaking as a systems administrator and database wrangler, people changing their last names when getting married is a major headache because it means a person's name can't be the prime index in any collection of data. That's why you keep getting assigned numbers you can't possibly remember!
Speaking as a historian who has spent years doing genealogical research, women changing their names at marriage makes them hard to find in the historical record. Women, PLEASE stop erasing your identities! No man would consider doing the same for you! KEEP YOUR NAME.
Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

My cats, Malva (tortie) and Yume-chan (ticked tabby with low white spotting). The ladies are both from Ukraine; Yume has been with us for four weeks now, and they are still getting used to each other. It's a work in progress, but it's progressing.
