I know I need to do a “Hi, I’m Jen” intro post (and a more thorough one with links to stuff is coming), but…

Shakespeare? You mean the queer guy who wrote plays with TONS of crossdressing and defiance of gender and social norms and descriptions like, and I quote, “What, with my tongue in your tail?”
Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

TIL the touchscreen technology in iPhones was inspired by an accessibility device for disabled ppl called FingerWorks. It was a touchpad used in place of the computer mouse.
And then Apple contracted w FingerWorks to develop iPhone’s touchscreen.

I'm doing charity fundraising for National Black Trans Advocacy Coalition. We need to support both the Black community & the Trans community and I'm putting my money where my mouth is: I set a $2000 goal. If we hit the goal? I'm cutting my hair and donating the hair too.
