A connected network of super libraries filled with any piece of information or store imaginable that allows people to connect with one another instantaneously from anywhere.
 
What is your favorite memory with your grandparents?
I only have a couple, as I never got to meet my maternal grandparents and only met my paternal grandfather twice, he was such a sweet old man. Former RAF pilot, very much a working class hero. He just liked to read his books and keep to himself. How he wound up married to my horrible maternal grandmother is beyond me, but every memory of him is one I enjoy.
 
What hill will you absolutely die on?
That trans women are human beings and deserve the same rights and respect as any other human beings. What is currently being done by this administration to undermine trans rights and trans access to healthcare is a disgrace. People forget how marginal of a population trans people are, how few people these laws, these orders, these cowardly attacks are targeting, and they act like it's a massive win to restrict healthcare, to deny this, to remove that, whatever indignity it is. It's aimed at a group so small, so marginalized it's costing more to enforce that it's effectively wasteful spending. All we want is to be left in peace to live our lives. Trans rights weren't an issue until they were made an issue by the people currently removing them. We were ghosts in the background, oddities people laughed at and misunderstood, sure, but mostly ignored. Now we're a target and we shouldn't be.

Sorry, I don't normally get political on here, and I don't normally mention my status as a trans person here, but...well. Recent events being what they are...
