I’m Non-Binary!
It’s been been a very long journey. Before I knew what Non-Binary was, I tried calling myself male, later female. Neither felt right. Now I feel happy having figured out this part of myself, and to share it with the world!
I’m also using hormone therapy to shape my body to better match my gender. Specifically, I’m trying to grow breasts! It's something I've wanted my whole adult life! I've been wearing silicone prosthetics all year, and I gotta say, I really dig the way I look!

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only #love can do that.
Some of the icons in this pane are the new rounded-square app icon style, and some are the new skeuomorphic object style. I think this ends up looking cluttered and inconsistent at best, confusing and distracting at worst. Perhaps all should be rounded rectangles, or all should be objects, instead of mixing the two.
I’m sure the hate will come someday, but I’ll treat them like any other bullies throughout my life — with the love and kindness I wish they'd show to me, rather than the pain they wish me to feel.
If you want, I've written more about this on my blog:

Happy independence day. Take a moment to celebrate that we live in a country which can change. We can power through the oppression and hate, and bring acceptance and love to our and future generations.
Stay safe, never give up, God bless.
Pride month is over y'all! You know what that means!
The first chapter of this episode of #ATP is very good. It says things in ways I totally have in my head, but couldn't say better myself.
I highly encourage just listening to those 23 minutes. If you wanna listen to more, awesome, but at least just the start.
When you resize a Big Sur Finder window to its smallest size, it moves the Back/Forward buttons to the dropdown menu, and the title completely disappears
This SwitUI app model feels really good
Okay SwiftUI time! 👏🏼
Anyone else noticing the inconsistent dock corner radius in these videos?
it's actually called Apple Hypervisor! 😮
I believe that they're really confident about Apple Silicon, but I will remain skeptical until I've gotta compile for it
YO!!!
Praying this will pair with Swift on Windows to let us make actual Windows apps with Swift!
Brian Tong mentioned the new UI design of macOS 11 looks like it's friendlier to touch. Great point!
They needed that end card with all the health and safety stuff. Glad it's there
