Today I spoke as the keynote speaker for the Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil for City of Bellevue today. It was a bit overwhleming as I was not expecting to be the sole speaker at the event, but I did my best with what I had.

Since moving to Seattle, I haven't done much in the way of the TDOR, or even trans activism, as the Pacific Northwest has it's act together much better than Texas ever did. And I honestly didn't feel I deserved to speak as I haven't done anything in a long while.

But as a friend said, "it's not about being deserving - it's a duty."

And if asked, I'll speak again. Although I hope we never need another TDOR Vigil ever again.

When I lived in State College, PA, I used to walk past this historical marker most every day on my way to work. Always wanted to see the computer, which my phone outclasses in probably almost every way.

Fun fact: Back in the day I was asked to make a good review of this movie on AGMK for the possibility of "a favor I could call in later."

I was immediately called out for the review in the newsgroup, and I never got that favor.

Wow, The King of Random used to really be "How to build your own Intercontinental Ballistic Missles." YouTube has been showing me old episodes, and I know enough to be put on multiple watch lists.
