As far as people go, I *get* that in some cases the jurisdiction they live in will not let them change their government name. But that move is against their will. I'll respect any trans or non-binary person's name to committing to a name they want to be called.

It is not a deadname until you stop using it (The exception: When you're legally prevented from doing so).

I will stop "deadnaming" Twitter when the domain twitter.com no longer works or redirects.

There is nothing legally preventing Elon Musk from cutting off the name Twitter, so it is decidedly NOT a deadname. He keeps it for the ad revenue to come in, and thus, has chosen to not deadname it.

@freemo Well he said "with no drawbacks" so we know that eliminates the baseball bat to the printer fix from Office Space.

@ryansingel They do?! I better move.

@itnewsbot 1.8 million is nothing compared to the billions lost in the 2008-2009 stock market caused housing bubble crisis... and there has yet to be ANYONE held accountable for that, over 15 years later.

@QOTO Recognizing all your hard work. I'm sure it isn't easy running a large mastodon instance on what's probably a mostly thankless job. So, on that note... thank you. It is certainly appreciated.

Update: So we're going for a house that has said decorative fireplace. At least the realtor for the listing was honest and didn't try photoshopping in some fire.

Growing up, I my schools never made any kind of observance about day 100. My kids go to different schools and each school makes a big deal out of it now, and they're schools near where I used to attend.

A typical school year is 180 days, why did they start making a big deal out of 100 days? It's past the half point, which I think would be more of a milestone than some arbitrary number picked out because it happens to be the first third digit day.
