I have never seen a more appropriate use of the phrase, "it's not a bug it's a feature."
The image contains a screenshot from the website Bleeping Computer with the headline Microsoft fixes bug that removed copilot buttons in Outlook.

@proton.me This is how you get me to stop using your product. This in Proton Drive this morning. Similar in the mail app.

At least I'm cute.
Selfie.  I'm a light complected woman with purplish hair wearing black/clear framed glasses. Also wearing a black faux layered top with white collar sticking out and rainbow flag earrings.  I'm standing in a conference room (because the light is better in there).

Houston peeps. This is coming up on Friday, and I was asked to be one of the presenters. We will be talking about laws passed that affect the LGBTQIA+ community, how they affect us, and what we can do to uplift and empower each other despite these laws. RSVP here: bit.ly/KYRHouston

I think I've found a use for AI.
Screenshot of a question asked of Windows Copilot:  

You - How can I tell when a lesbian is flirting with me?
Copilot - Flirting can often be subtle and open to interpretation, regardless of sexual orientation. Generally, someone may be flirting if they:

Show a lot of interest in what you have to say
Tease you or use playful banter
Maintain eye contact and smile at you often
Find excuses to touch you, like a light touch on the arm
Seem genuinely engaged in your conversation and ask personal questions
Compliment you frequently
Remember, the best way to understand someone’s intentions is through open and respectful communication. If you’re unsure, it’s okay to ask them about their feelings in a considerate and non-confrontational way.

Runoff election for city races in Houston today. Went and volunteered with the LGBTQ+ Caucus to hand out push cards. My first time doing this, and it won't be my last.

Holy shit. I half jokingly said that about this song because it came on last night while I was sitting on my couch. With cats. And the lyrics felt relatable. I just did some googling and found this. 👀

Today I celebrate the five year mark on HRT. I started at age 47. If you're still alive, it's not too late. I wouldn't trade this for anything.
Side by side pics of me.  One from 5 years ago, shortly before starting transition, the other from today.  I look distinctly happier today.
