Yes, I'm asking because I'm not sure if "slightly better chance at getting a job, maybe" is worth outing myself to an unknown number of data brokers.
I also realize that the right answer depends a lot on context - like where you live, whether you're trans or a non-straight cis person, what ethnicity you are and what job you're applying for. Please reply if you have illuminating context-related thoughts.
Suppose you are queer and applying for a job. The job application asks if you are part of the LGBT+ community, along with other optional demographic questions, and says that it is asking these questions because the company uses inclusive hiring practices.
Would you feel comfortable identifying yourself as LGBT+ in this context?
Boosts welcome.

This movie starts with a title sequence using the famous 90s Star Trek Font and no pictures or anything in the background, and then we go to California or somewhere where holes are spontaneously appearing in a mountain, and then the mountain hatches into a giant reptile looking monster.
Some movie rednecks are watching this shouting "avalanche!" and then they get scared and run away.
Launching my #monsterdon thread for Zarkorr! The Invader! A movie that I guess is about a guy named Zarkorr who invades something. It's from the 90s.
Monsterdon is the thing where we watch an old monster movie every week and make fun of it. As is tradition, I will be unreliably summarizing the entire movie. Mute the hash tag if you don't want to see millions of posts by everyone about this Zarkorr movie.
Tonight's #monsterdon starts with a diner cook playing pinball obsessively, when his customer a priest, comes to bother him asking him to call the police. Then the phone explodes, killing the cook, and the coffee also explodes. Then the priest wanders outside.
I don't know if it will persist, but so far you have my interest.
Luanching my #monsterdon thread for "End of the World", a movie whose title matches my general mood at most times.

hi mastodon do you like fish and chips?
I'm sick of hearing the "Generative AI is not going away!" line, because it's exactly what the companies peddling LLMs want everyone to both say and think.
I dunno, man, maybe the shitty chatbots are here forever, but I would sure like it if we made them go away.
Could we at least try kicking them into the dustbin of history before we go around repeating their makers' marketing points?
watching #TwinPeaks be like "aha! I correctly guessed 1/24th of the mystery! I have no idea what the other weird shit going on is."
This movie starts in Britain, I think, where the local cops are called "Bobbies" and people drink lots of tea. We start with a bobby walking by a horn shop, above a guy flailing on the other side of the drainage grate. We learn the failing guy has a speaking disability and is the assistant of a mad wax magician, who has a giant cauldron of wax in his spooky office that he is dropping an wax model of hot girl into so she melts?
Launching my #monsterdon thread for "Terror in the Wax Museum", a movie where I guess a scary thing, nay, a terror-like thing happens in a building full of wax replicas of people.

If you do want to do a monsterdon, then follow the void chicken @Taweret for the weekly poll where we decide the next film to subject ourselves to.
Launching my #monsterdon thread for "Invasion UFO", which I think is based on the 60s scifi series with the fancy miniatures that I started watching and then couldn't decide if it was good or not.
My favorite part of the 60s UFO show was that it was set in the 80s, but their version of the 80s looked even more like the 60s than the 60s did.
Anyway, I think this is a movie in the same setting, maybe?
#Spelljammer fans: which setup for fantasy solar systems do you like better?
The original approach has solar systems contained in crystal spheres, which float in the "phlogiston", a rainbow ocean of explosive yet breathable air. Stars line the inside of the shells.
The latest approach has solar systems as bubbles of wildspace in the Astral Sea. There is no solid shell around them and stars are presumably part of the Astral Sea - perhaps they're the suns of other systems?
This #monsterdon starts with some nice hills, and then there's some dudes with construction helmets exploring a cave, which is very fantasy table-top role playing game. Their leader is the Professor and he is following instructions from somebody called the Doctor.
Eventually we find a giant cavern with some dino looking bones all around it and also an alien skeleton and also a giant bridge that needs a safety railing but doesn't have it.
Launching my #monsterdon thread for Reptilian, which I think is a movie where a giant monster who is legally distinct from godzilla wrecks some shit.

Hollywood blacklists are back in style if you... (checks notes)... think genocide is bad.
So yeah, cancel your Paramount+. Fuck Larry Ellison and Fuck David Ellison.
