Had a long ass chat with my gramma last nite. She said ' Jaden you will never find happiness because all you do is plan for the next thing, always looking for something new and better. Just sit back and enjoy what you got'.
Think she may have a point??????
What yall think 🤔

@Jaden3

I think she is partly right. Your happiness should be based on what you have and what you are now. Appreciate the present and be aware of it.

But at the same time, plan for the future. Knowing what you want for the future can guide your actions today. And if those plans don't work out, don't be sad. Count what the experience has taught you and celebrate that, and then move on.

In my life I know where I am, but I also know where I want to be and that informs me as a journey on.

Hey friends, does anyone know what either of these objects are?
(They were found in a deceased relative's jewelry box.)
Please boost for added eyes, thanks! 😊

The lettering on the object on the left says:
Hadley Made in USA
Both ends open up to 90⁰ and the main body expands and contracts about a centimetre.

A clever person has said that the object in the right is a Writescope telescoping mechanical pencil. Thanks!

I vaguely remember this episode, though it was before I really became consciously aware of my own gender.

There was also an episode of All in the Family where Archie, as a cab driver, does mouth to mouth resuscitation on a woman and saves her life, only to find out later that she was trans. He is icked out, of course, but if I recall correctly he came to accept her after she visited his home and talked with him.

@Jaden3

Nah, I don't care if someone follows me. I don't really make a point of putting out interesting content, I just post whatever catches my interest. If someone doesn't share my interests but still has good things to say, then I'm happy following them even if they don't know I exist.

This is an excellent guide to writing in plain English.

https://evolvingweb.com/blog/plain-language-guide-how-write-inclusive-digital-content-2024

"49% of adults in Canada have below high-school literacy levels, and 17% are unable to follow written instructions or read maps."

"Half adults in the U.S. struggle to read a book written for eighth-graders."

If your first instinct is 'why are people ‘dumb’?’ you are elitist and not inclusive. There are plenty of immigrants and others. As web professionals it should be your job to include everyone

@skinnylatte

I would say that if your first instinct is to ask "why can't people read" then you are inquisitive and trying to understand the problem in order to find the best way to address it, and yes, using a writing style that is broadly understood is part of addressing the issue.

Calling people "elitist" does not help.

Here's the next step in the Republican plan to make it illegal to be transgender. Texas Governor Greg Abbot wants to ban transgender people from being teachers. What profession will he want to ban us from next? When will he want to ban us from appearing in public places?

I've been getting my house cleaned up and tommorrow I'm calling a realtor so I can sell my house and get out of this repressive state.

@Frances_Larina @cindyyusa

Considering that there were attempts last year to ban drag shows and to pass a don't say gay law, yes, I'd say this is part of an overall strategy of attacking lgbt people. It just so happens that transgender people are the primary focus.

JK Rowling is moving into Holocaust denial now, and also saying that doctors providing gender affirming care, and transgender advocates should be jailed.

Enough is enough. Time to cancel this piece of shit permanently. Refuse to support her in any way financially. Don't buy anything associated with her. Keep your Harry Pottter books if you already have them, but refuse to give her any more money. Let her rot.

Not content with DRM in overpriced ink cartridges, HP now wants you to start RENTING printers for the low, low price of only $36 a month with the number of printable pages per month limited.

Could everyone please tell HP to kindly go fuck themselves?

Thanks to their recent law banning LGBT "content" in schools, a Florida school has now banned .... the dictionary. This is the kind of madness that comes from hate based laws.

In a story that's actually all too common, a woman was denied medical care because she might get pregnant. The care in question is a medication for the treatment of cluster headaches that are so severe they sometimes cause her to pass out. But the doctor said he wouldn't even tell her the name of the medication because it could cause birth defects IF she got pregnant, something she has no intention of doing.

Here's an actual mainstream media article about all the attacks on the transgender community. I wish more people were aware of what is going on, but we are just such a small minority that it's hard to get anyone in the mainstream press to pay attention to us unless they are attacking us.
