@KJ7OMO - I guess my age is starting to show😀. I was in the shack and in my chair just before net time last night tinkering with some stuff while listening to you getting set up, and then like a proper old person, apparently I fell asleep in my chair at some point during the preamble.

When did all the coolest bands turn into old people?

As a parent this breaks my heart - one of my eldest’s close friends is trans-masc, and apparently during school pick up his mom says all kinds of horrible shit, like, “I always wanted a daughter.”

I can’t imagine shaming my kid about any part of who they are, even if it was something I didn’t like or understand.

My kid and their friends have formed an ‘LGBTQ club’ and they get together along with supportive parents, so there is positive influence, but when the hate comes from a parent - WTF.

Waiting on the mail truck to deliver some bits I’m waiting on. They’re usually here by now. One of the last time it got late, it turned out that our postal carrier had crashed into a police car and both vehicles, and all the mail, went up in flames. Driver and cop were ok.
