Carter has stood up for trans people and their rights numerous times.

In October 2021, she wrote, “Trans women are Wonder Women. End of story.”

I automatically refer to people as they/them now until I know what their pronouns are and it’s probably one of the easiest adaptations I’ve ever made. Not sure what the fuss is about.

I've been a professional musician since the end days of selling CDs, and I would like to say that having experienced the decline of CD sales because of piracy transition into the paid streaming era it's unambiguous that musicians were better off when mostly everyone was pirating and then some people bought CDs or other merch out of a desire to support vs today when everyone pays a nominal fee to a corporation that pays us nothing and also satisfies their desire to support despite not actually offering support.

I would much rather you pirate anything I have made or worked on vs listening on streaming services, which are an objective nightmare for musicians. Even if you never intend to spend a penny, normalizing piracy is better for us than normalizing the current capitalist-realism nightmare where you get whatever you want and also get to relax into the fiction that you aren't exploiting musicians because you pay the price of one album per month to a giant corporation so you can feel ok about it.

Ok, SQL is actually really good. Perhaps I should have spent two days learning it before working on a company for ten years attempting to replace it 😁

OUR QUADRANT IS DYING. THE ALPHA QUADRANT DREAM IS DEAD! THE RADICAL STARFLEET ANARCHISTS HAVE STOLLEN A FEDERATION PRESIDENT ELECTION, AND WITH IT, THE HEART OF OUR OUR ALPHA QUADRANT. ALPHA QUADRANT PATRIOTS ARE BEING ARRESTED & HELD IN CAPTIVITY LIKE TARGS...

...WHILE KLINGONS & NAUSICAN THUGS ARE ALLOWED TO ROAM THE STARS, KILLING & BOARDING WITH NO RETRIBUTION. MILLIONS ARE FLOODING THROUGH THE OPEN WORMHOLE, MANY FROM MIRROR UNIVERSE & KELVIN TIMELINE. CRIME & LATINUM INFLATION ARE DESTROYING OUR VERY WAY OF LIFE...
