Any LA or Bay Area locals interested in adopting a 10 y/o low maintenance kitty named Mango? She belonged to my friend's mom, who tragically suffered from a major stroke and fall and can no longer care for her. Both my friend and I have a full house of pets and can't take her, though wish we could

Namesake has a new web app to help people in Massachusetts to update their legal name and gender marker. (And soon: New York and beyond.) After a year of work, we're excited to share it with you today.

This is what the web is for. If you ever ask yourself, "why did all those people in the 1990s stop watching TV and start typing things on the open web?" this is why. Utterly niche shit that could only exist in a free, collaborative space without ads. rickiheicklen.com/unparalleled...
