Used to work for a transit agency. I didn't know before my training that miniature horses are recognized service animals that are permitted at least for that agency (depends on a venue's ability to reasonably accommodate them). I never saw one while I was working there though. Doesn't include emotional support animals, but I thought it was interesting

100% existential bread

We do willingly call ourselves lemmings after all

(yes I know the animals aren't actually trying to answer the call of the void as they've been depicted)

The Dumbphone 2 listed is a TCL Flip 2 which runs modified AOSP. Functionally, the Flip 2 is a dumbphone, though if you're willing to put in the elbow grease you can install apps through adb and install a cursor to use them. The screen resolution and modified OS make many apps unusable though, but I was able to get Firefox, Jerboa, and Molly (Signal) working on mine. It was definitely better to tether to a tablet or laptop as you said.

I think the Sunbeam phones, Keyphone, and Light phone are AOSP as well, with varying openness.

A lot of manufacturers just use gutted AOSP so they don't have to write network, UI, notification, etc. stacks from scratch. If not Android it's usually Mocor or KaiOS

Thought this was a transition timeline for a split second

I mean, if you don't id as a woman then there's no reverse about it, that's just going to be gender dysphoria lol

I remember a friend of mine told me that the goto backhanded compliment gay men have for women is "she's really pretty," as in, "I can't think of other redeeming qualities she has" lol

I've seen a lot of mutual aid requests on the Mastodon instance I'm on (kolektiva.social), including many trans women, it would be good to help support some gals there if you're able

Not impossible to get by, but a lot more difficult in the modern world. I used a dumb phone for a little while a few years ago and I just ended up carrying a smartphone w/o a SIM to tether when needed bc of how much infrastructure assumes you have a smartphone nowadays (in the US at least). It's infuriating - not impossible, but a lot more difficult than it used to be.

Kinda depends imo. Would it be helpful to be able to use them as a reference/let them be called when applying to future jobs? You most likely want to give them the notice, especially if the current place is a stepping stone in your career or you have been at the current job for a while. Have you been there 2 months getting the brunt of abuse and not getting anything other than a paycheck? Call it a wash and leave it off the resume, fuck them.

As much as I wish we could treat companies as poorly as they treat us, the reality is that we all have lives to live and it can fuck our personal lives to live our values 100% of the time, as much as it sucks to navigate our system. That's why unions are strong, we have strength in numbers. When we're acting individually though, they hold the power.

So if you need to job hop realistically it's probably better for your prospects to play it safe and do the "proper" thing. Making a stance by setting your future prospects on fire is a dangerous move to you personally that probably won't further the cause toward an equitable workplace. Being able to leave a bad work environment for a better one (possibly unionized even), is the better choice, and if playing the employer's game is the best way to get to greener pastures then I would give notice and all that junk.

Even if you have the next job lined up, you still have to think about how it will look to the new employer if they know your current job and see that you aren't giving notice. They might not take that well and recind the offer (which may be illegal depending, but when has that stopped a company from doing something). It's a stupid game that we shouldn't have to play, but I think you should always weigh your options so you don't mess up your own livelihood. No sense in being a martyr if it won't help the cause.
