@britt I visited your list, added a game from the list to my shopping cart, selected buy as a gift, but then how do I gift it to you? Steam asks for a friend name or account number. I can't seem to buy a gift for someone not already in my friends list?

Should we encourage people to expand their friend lists first?

I don't like Elon, won't use the bird site and won't buy Tesla anything (stock, car etc.)

But the Tesla stock doesn't necessarily show direct correlation. It's also following 2022 trends.

Much of the tech market tanked in 2022:

Spotify: -158,67 (-67,05 %)
Apple: -44,05 (-24,99 %)
Alphabet: -59,16 (-40,27 %)
Microsoft: -96,50 (-28,83 %)
AMD: -82,28 (-56,30 %)
Amazon: -87,28 (-51,02 %)

Nasdaq composite:
-5 177,25 (-33,07 %)

Tech ETFs too.

For thousands of years, fermenting beer was considered a household task for #women.

By the Middle Ages, some sold beer at English markets. Female brewers wore tall, pointy hats to be easily spotted. They stood by cauldrons & often had cats to keep mice away.

Sound familiar? It should.

You see, when male brewers felt threatened by their success, they accused the women of witchcraft. These rumors may have led to some witch iconography we still recognize today.

I was able to reserve a table at a restaurant online today, instead of on the phone, and thank the #introverted gods it's for things like this that web software exists. <3

This is your year non-trans folks. This is the year

to be the one to call out grandma for misgendering your non-binary cousin,

to call out how fucked up your uncles transphobic jokes are, or

to tell your mom that her excuses for deadnaming someone aren’t good enough.

It’s time to make this your problem. How are you going to stand up for trans people this holiday?

The faces in office Christmas party photos posted on LinkedIn keep getting younger.

What's up with that?

I keep seeing that “first they came for the journalists” sign, and it pisses me off so much, because when they came for muslims, immigrants, and trans people, mainstream journalists normalized it and reported it as “both sides”. Somehow it didn’t count for them until it was happening to them personally, which is *exactly* what the fucking poem was warning against in the first place.
