Say it clearly:
🏳️‍⚧️ Trans people exist
🏳️‍⚧️ Trans people belong
🏳️‍⚧️ Trans people deserve safety, dignity, and autonomy

You don’t need to be trans to support trans rights. You just need a working moral compass.

The real threat to society isn’t trans people. It’s cruelty masquerading as policy. It’s lawmakers using minorities as scapegoats to distract from their own failures.

People love to say “it’s just biology” — but what they really mean is, “I want to exclude you and feel justified about it.” Science doesn’t justify cruelty. Protecting trans people matters more than scoring points in a debate.

🚨 The UK Supreme Court has ruled that a “biological woman” is defined by biology, even with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC). However, trans women are still protected from discrimination under equality laws.

Every Linux distro:

“We’ve added a modern experience!”
Me:
“Why is this ISO 4GB and installing 3 background services I didn’t ask for?”

I looked at 100+ Linux distros. None of them did what I wanted.

So I’m building my own. From scratch.
No systemd. No snap. No hand-holding.
Just pure, fast, modular Linux.

Because if no distro fits... you roll your own. 🔧🐧

Retweet if you’ve ever rage-installed Arch at 3am.

some days the code flows, the terminal hums, and everything just works
other days it’s broken scripts, cryptic errors, and shouting at logs at 2am

but i still love it.
there’s peace in the process—even when it’s chaos

scotland’s cold, the tea’s hot

some days it’s all code and clarity
other days it’s just error logs and existential dread
either way, the terminal's always there

finally feeling a bit more stable.
new place, new job, new name—feels good to breathe again.
back to building things, messing with configs, and being loud about linux 🐧
also yes, still queer as hell 🌈
