I ended up with a device that shipped with it and replace it with Yunohost for a similarly beginner friendly experience that, so far, seems a whole lot more open.
DO NOT GO PROTEST AT HIS PARADE! He wants the opportunity to paint the opposition as un-American by contrasting them against a parade full of US flags and lots of pomp and circumstance.
What to do instead? COME TO PHILLY! No Kings, 50501, and Indivisible are organizing a march/rally/protest THIS SATURDAY as a counter to his parade. Bring lots of US flags, bring your signs, bring yourselves. If you’re a vet, make that clear with your clothes, signs, flags etc. If you’re a healthcare worker please, PLEASE, show up if able and bring a first aid kit. We are expecting 80-120k people. The street medics will have their work cut out for them even if it stays totally peaceful. Should things be escalated in any way we will need the extra medical knowledge. Bring water, for yourself and to share if you’re able to carry the extra.
Mask, bring eye protection (safety glasses for blunt impact, lab goggles or similar should teargas get deployed), bring a respirator, cover tattoos. Have an exit and arrest plan in place. If you can, buy a cheap phone, DO NOT turn it on near your house, and DO NOT put a SIM card in it. Phones without SIMs can still call 911 and take photos/videos.
There’s so much more info if you really want to dig into it, but please just show up. Be part of the 3.5%
Basically me and my best friend. I’m single and they’re in a lovely relationship, but I’m def the feral trans gremlin, and they keep me in check.
Happy pride y’all!!

Hi all!
I go by Arkhive and I use they/she pronouns. I'm non-binary trans, but I lean femme. I am a bit of your cliche techy, linux installing, trans girl, and I'm entirely okay with that. I do a bit of writing on many topics, but lately the buzzwords "techno-anarchism", "solarpunk", "trans-humanism" and "urbanism" have been ricocheting around my mind, but that's a bit too hand wavy for this post.
For no reason other than I maybe have your attention I'm going to suggest the books:
Feel free to ask me about moderation, or really anything. I've got a lot of interests and will happily gush about any of them. I have some formal visual arts education, so constructive critique is something I'm very used to and welcome. Finally, I'm a self proclaimed archivist, which is part of the reason I wanted to make this post happen, creating a bit of a paper trail of us mods, and offer a space to field questions, comments, and concerns.
If I had a nickel for every time I went through puberty, I’d have 2 nickels. That’s not much, buts it’s interesting it happened twice.
30 is hurtling at me like a train, so may as well say my bit while I still qualify.
Learn to swallow your ego, and pride, and “seniority”. There’s plenty of people younger than you that are wildly intelligent and truly want to make the world a better place. Let those people take up space. Let young organizers spread their wings. Put your desires to be important aside and help empower the next generation. Feeling valued by the broader society and being allowed to be important can help young people participate and learn to socialize, especially with some of their formative years being ravaged by social media and Covid.
See the other comment about what Sunshine and Moonlight are, but I wanted to toss in I use that, as well as a stand alone instance of Steam on my living room PC. My living room PC is noticeably weaker than my main PC, so for some games I stream them via Sunshine/Moonlight, but for a lot of indie titles I just run them right in the living room PC.
