If you know, you know.

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

Hi folks! This is tough to post. I was laid off just shy of 18 wks ago. The lack of movement on that front is bad. 0 response to scores of CVs sent & only 3 sets of interviews, those being direct referrals. Looking for things in anti-fraud #TrustAndSafety space, as well as what I have always done well- deep customer support, things I've done for 25ish years. LinkedIn below, if you have direct leads you can refer me to, I would be so grateful.

Singular “they” dates back to 1375. It predates singular “you” and it’s old enough to have been spelled with a thorn.

Objections to singular “they” have nothing to do with grammar - and everything to do with imposing a rigid, exclusionary gender binary.

The most common gender affirming surgery is breast augmentation -- in cis (non-trans) women.

The regret rate is around 20%.

Gender affirming surgeries in trans people have around a 1% regret rate.

Guess which people need approval from a mental health provider...

Screw NATO

Lots of folks talking about what countries trans folks should escape to; but I’m here being all too disabled for most countries to let me in. I’m too expensive to live anywhere but here.

I’m a pretty privileged person in that I could afford to emigrate but that wouldn’t get me through the tight requirements of “no long term health issues please”
