If there was a video game where you upgraded outlets, this would definitely be like a tier 4 power generator with bonus abilities.

Even with fingers, if your palms are facing towards you, this advice will backfire immediately.
Back when we were liberal with bullets.
Wish more people made use of the feature. As someone who puts detailed alt text for my posts (and in the descriptions prior to the feature being implemented) I'm doing my part!
Wake up...please wake up!
Hopefully people know how to use the little critter. Seems like we have enough problems with even the three seashells by the toilet.

If you just mean your relatives, it's important to know that what constitutes 'young' changes as you age. As someone in their 30s now, early 20s and below feels young to me personally. If your relatives are much older than you, especially if they saw you growing up, it's likely you'll seem young to them forever. That isn't to say you should be infantilized your whole life, but just that it stems from differences in perception. If you feel like you're being treated lesser than other adults, try to tactfully explain how you feel. Maybe you're feeling excluded and that hurts, or perhaps being called certain things is belittling to you. Ultimately though, the most important thing is that tact, because it's very likely not malicious, your relatives likely aren't trying to make you feel small or invalidated.
As for anyone else in the street, or perhaps online, there's usually something that makes people naturally assume youth. I don't know what you look like obviously, but online you typically have very little information to work with. Usually just the words that are spoken, and maybe an avatar to go along with it. A number of people have pointed out your typing style already. I won't belabor the point, but I will say first impressions are extremely quick to make, and quite influential. I personally try to talk to anyone with tact and just 'as a person', but it's something I feel doesn't come naturally. I really only ended up doing it because I spent a long time in moderation type roles, having to mediate issues with people and events.
Tl;Dr: It sucks, but people probably aren't doing it to hurt you. Talk patiently to them, also type more formally.
Related, there is a donation group for Mastodon for Harris. I imagine a great way to show there is interest in her making an account is to see fundraising coming from the user base. It's at ~114k at the time I wrote this: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris
Damn and here I thought my 13200Ah phone I charge once a week was big. I wish more phones went down the route of massive batteries, it's so much better than being thin and barely lasting a day of normal use.
Guess I'll go with words in funny places. #BADA55 at 19,6
