In Metatalk: "March 31st is the International Transgender Day of Visibility. I'd like a thread for those of us who are here to talk about our experiences on MetaFilter if we want to, to raise awareness of issues, and to celebrate our lives and contributions and voices and each other."

More in Metatalk: The Mefi Mall is open, and you can add your shop now; MeFites for the Holidays is the spot for members who want to make connections for some seasonal bonhomie; Thinking About a Post is a thread for people to talk about posts they'd like to see or collaborate on; and finally, the current Metatalktail Hour's topic asking what obsolete technology members are skilled in is a lot of fun, if you haven't checked it out.

Eyebrows McGee asks Mefites to Tell Us A Fascinating Thing About Yourself.
Every few months I remember the MeFi User Sites blog and check it out. It's not updated super frequently, but it has been going on for a while so if you're new to it, be sure to check it out as there are deep archives of some really cool websites some MeFi members run.
MetaFilter started as a community weblog in 1999, later added question and answers, then music by members, jobs, projects by members, a podcast, and finally an area dedicated to meetups.
