I have found a power cable so I can use my laptop. But even more importantly. I've found cake.

a video of a kid in black roller skates and a rainbow helmet raising money for their roller derby team. Captions: Hey everyone! It's me, Space Kitty, my pronouns are they/them, and I'm super excited to tell you about something really cool coming up. On March 13, Roc Jr Roller Derby is having a roller derby skate-a-thon, and I need your help! I'm skating to raise money for our roller derby team. You can sponsor me per lap or with a fixed amount. And don't worry, if you can't watch the skate-a-thon live, we'll have a live stream! You'll get an invoice for your donation once we know how many laps I did. Roller derby is my passion! I love zooming around the track, blocking opponents, and scoring points. Plus, derby is super inclusive! There's lots of LGBT representation, just like me! That's why I'm so proud to be part of this amazing sport. Your donations will help cover important things like rent for our practice space, hosting events, and getting equipment for new players. So, by sponsoring me, you're helping our team grow and thrive! Thank you so much for considering sponsoring me in the roller derby skate-a-thon. Let's show everyone just how awesome roller derby can be! Go team!

Amanda DeWitts Wren Martin Ruins it All. A fab (anti) Valentine's read! Wren is ace and, as class president, needs to help organize the Valentine's Day dance (which they loathe). A nice story about being ace and falling in love.

I have a goal of turning every book I read this year into an earring. I got started a little late in Jan so I missed about 5 of them and have ~5 made so far. I'm not sure that I'll go back and do the ones that I missed.

We often get asked if the Vagina Museum is dog friendly, and YES! We welcome friendly dogs!

I knit something for the first time in roughly 13 years. The color was the nonbinary colorway of the Big Twist yarn at JoAnn. I like it but it's giving me less nonbinary vibes and more "adam west as batman" vibes.

I don't know who needs to hear this; but if you can deal with all the different USB standards, you can deal with more than a gender binary.

Too hot to do any meaningful woodwork today as I'd hoped for. But at the least I've moved all the remaining materials for my work bench down to the basement so I can work on it sometime this week when I'm less tired.

On this day in 1969, humans walked on the moon. So let's take the opportunity to talk about the moon and its relationship to menstruation. Does the moon influence our menstrual cycles at all?

"so ahh- ha ha-- yeah. I know I have a bit of a bad reputation among you insect-folk but um... I kinda need a little help with pollination now? So. If some of you bees, or flies... or even ants could just stop by, help out..."

As time passes and #pridemonth gives way to #wrathmonth let's make sure people know there are ways to help identify places of business that are #lgbtqfriendly, #transsafespace, #lgbtowned, have a #genderneutralbathroom, etc that we can feel safe and comfortable visiting! Not to mention we should be supporting them year round, not just in June!!

Also, #Businessowners there are ways for you to participate if you don't already and to help potential customers know you aren't a huge piece of shit: https://smallbusiness.withgoogle.com/pride/#!/

Shout out to @mekkaokereke for sending this page my way!

If you talk to non-binary folk personally about how they experience gender, you'll never stop learning new things about it :flag_nonbinary: :ms_nb:

Holy shit! Some actual good news for #TransRights and protecting trans kids in NY!

"Schools don’t need professional or parental permission or proof of gender identity."

"Additionally, if a student doesn’t want to share their gender identity or transition plan with their parents, school staff must maintain that confidentiality."

Edit: @neckspike got it, seems to be a Singer 9W. An unusual model indeed!

Edit 2: muting this now that it’s solved ;)

Ok here’s the true test of whether the fedi can replace Reddit. Can anyone help me identify this antique singer sewing machine?

I’m pretty good at recognizing all the most common models, but a friend found this in his in-law’s house and it has me stumped.

Boosts appreciated

It’s really SAD that Canada doesn’t clean their forest floors like they do in Finland. That’s why they have forest fires now. When I am president, we are going to build a wall - it will be the most beautiful wall - to keep smoke from other countries from crossing our borders illegally.

Potting on my pepper plants. I have 7 in total. And space for 4 inside. I'm wondering if they have any chance of survival for the remaining 3 if I pot them outside. I also have 11 cayenne pepper plants, and space for 3 inside. I have a friend interested in some of the spares.

Kids today with their blue hair and pronouns.
Kids today with their baggy pants and rap music.
Kids today with their long hair and heavy metal music.
Kids today with their long hair and hippie music.
Kids today with their leather jackets and rock’n’roll music.
Kids today with their flapper outfits and jazz music.

Same as it ever was? Same as it ever was.
