ah, yes, prejudice

people get grumpy about containers vs nix vs flatpak and I just wanna say… I’m glad you’re using Linux. yes, you.

getting accidentally hired and finally making enough.

story: every job I’ve ever applied for in tech didn’t work out. I was a dishwasher until right before covid when someone recommended me for a cybersecurity position. Before that I had obsessed about FIRE or living in a car or being careful about too much starbucks or avocado toast… without making enough for a car or health insurance. That job paid ~half of what cybersecurity should pay, but was AMAZING. My next job paid just a hair under average, three years later. night and day, able to afford to exist without help.

financial advice be damned. I couldn’t “find” anywhere with lower rent. I was in the lowest cost of living possible regionally. What needed to change was the PRIMARY job’s income rate, not adding some side hustle. Either make rent cheaper or find a higher wage.

“LGB without the T” is transphobic. Most pride folks will know you mean well if you say LGBT. They’ll know you’re an ass if you say LGB Alliance. The other parts are, for example, if gays have marriage rights but transgender folks can’t get healthcare. Intersectionality is about how marginalized folks should band together in recognizing that different kinds of marginalized folks (color of your skin, your age, disability) are marginalized in similar ways. Privileged folks haven’t experienced the friction and frustration other folks have.

but yeah, as long as you say LGBT instead of LGB…
