For all you cis folks. Feel free to boost.

Reminder to people in #Europe and #Canada that there are a lot of #transgender and #disabled people in the US who could use your help right now. There are a few #charities which are going to need some heavy funding over the next couple years (the Trevor Project and ACLU come to mind), and we also have a #MutualAid hashtag right here on Fedi. Please also consider that servers in the US, like this one, are talking about relocating to a safer country, which may change our financials.
If, per chance, you'd like to help a particular transgender disabled moderator who may need to relocate in the next year, my KoFi is at...

For those looking to aid in the fight for gender-affirming care nationwide, the American Civil Liberties Union has offered one simple way to show your support: sign their “Defend Trans Freedom” petition.
About 6000 posts in and half or so year spent on this platform, I have decided to change my introduction to be less riddled with hastags and reflect me in a light where I’m more comfortable here :)
Well, let’s begin.
I’m Arija A., more commonly known as Ari Archer and welcome to my corner on the Fediverse where I screech autistic ramblings into your ear until I get tired :)
I am an autistic & transgender 17-year-old avid open source developer as well as a wannabe systems administrator coming from Lithuania who has spent more than half her life bossing computers around :’) currently I’m mainly focusing on the C and Python programming languages as well as some FASM Assembly here and there whereever applicable, though I don’t have much to show when it comes to extremely low level programming, I can do it when needed, but am in no way an expert. My fiery passion for technology is deeply intertwined with my values of democracy, freedom, shareability, and customization.
Personally, I enjoy solving practical problems, although, that doesn’t mean I like to be a number processing machine 24/7 like people like to think. I find those problems exhausting and extremely boring, sadly, it is currently my fate at school since the education system doesn’t have much to offer for people beyond the programme :( I tend to be very dissatisfied with governments and government stated overstructured and outdated systems such as the education and legal systems, I don’t believe that I identify with the label “anarchist” but more of “politicians need a reality check and I can’t believe that people can be this stupid sometimes” xD, of course, it’s not all bad, but sometimes it’s oof.
Most of my work centres around libraries, back-end web development, as well as software and tools. You may find most of my work at https://ari.lt/gh (a dynamic redirect to the main place where I house most of my code currently, should be https://git.ari.lt/ari unless something bad happened to ari-web infrastructure and if so then you shouldn’t be seeing this post in the first place 
).
Contacts and more about me can be found on my website at https://ari.lt/
Anyway, uh, follow me for brainrot :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

In related news, I *really* need to finish this novel because @dachary made a suggestion for the next one that fit right in line with what I was planning, but makes it into something that would actually help #transgender people stay safe.
Current book is sitting at 118,460 words, and I've got at least another five chapters to write.
Editing chapters that need updates seems to end up deleting as many words as it adds. 🤷♀️

“We’re seeing a rise in anti-LGBTQ crimes in the state because of the culture wars that #Republicans are fighting.”
Experts on #LGBTQIA+ and human rights say an alarming rise in anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation leads directly to a rise in hate incidents, including deadly violence. I used GLAAD data to analyze incidents in Central #Texas over the last few years: https://austinfreepress.org/legislating-intolerance-anti-lgbtq-legislation-tied-to-massive-rise-in-hate-incidents/

Today is #Trans Day of Remembrance, when we memorialize #transgender lives lost to violence.
In my latest for The Barbed Wire, I visited a memorial to 38 of the trans Texans who have died over the last decade, even as the #LGBTQIA+ community looks forward with fear.

The Defense Department has no exact figure on the number of transgender troops serving because not every transgender person is in the same state of medical transition and not every transgender person identifies as such in military paperwork.
History-making Sarah McBride sworn in as first out transgender member of Congress
I’ve known a lot of trans people over the years. Living as trans pre-transition fucks with a person’s self esteem and will to live. Transitioning fixes some of that, but not everything - and the scars from that will definitely linger. Just your daily reminder that you are far more amazing and incredible than you realize, and there are reasons for that.
(Also, be kind to yourself.)

Geraldine Roman is a politician in the Philippines. On trans rights she says:
"Recognizing our rights and dignity will in no way diminish yours. We are not asking for special privileges or extra rights. We simply ask for equality. With inclusiveness and diversity, our nation has so much to gain."

OK so we're on #Trump 2.0 day six
Can we take a broader view beyond "Trump hates #DEI" ?
Can we take a broader view beyond "Trump hates #Immigrants / #AsylumSeekers" ?
Can we take a broader view beyond "Trump hates #Transgender people" ?
#DonaldTrump hates all of those things, and more
But don't lose sight of the big picture: Trump is conducting nothing less than the wholesale destruction of the entire #USDemocracy -- piece by piece as he can -- in full service to #VladimirPutin and #Russia
Remember this: Trump and Putin at Helsinki 2018 and the famous "whipped like a dog" photo
It speaks volumes
