When calling, emphasize the overreach that this gives the tech industry and how it gives them an excuse to collect even more sensitive data. Some of these people think they're holding big tech accountable. Emphasize to them that they're not. We've beat SCREEN for now, but this is still an issue.

"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."

Plums. On a plate (reflective!). With two cherries, because that's how Jacob van Hulsdonck liked it.
I'm very glad I bought a tea set in Taipei to go with some oolong I picked up. Brewing and serving pots, a bunch of small cups, and the serving plate. It works very well for oolong and green teas and it's a fun excuse to pluck a flower or two from the garden for decoration.
