I’m not trans. As far as I know, my kids aren’t at the moment. Nobody in my family is. None of my good friends are. I don’t prescribe medication for gender affirming care. I don’t specifically treat folks for gender dysphoria. So why do I give a fuck?

You don’t punch down. There’s no transgender machine producing trans judiciary and trans politicians and trans PACs to come for my cisgender. There are trans folks being discriminated against, outed, beaten, jailed, and killed. I hate bullies.

If someone in Switzerland would be interested, get in touch with me.

Okay, passt auf.

Meine Meinung zu sexueller Gewalt ist eigentlich immer "Nieder mit dem Patriarchat, Solidarität mit den Opfern, sperrt das Dreckschwein weg, Männer kriegt den Arsch hoch und macht was gegen die sexuelle Gewalt in eurem Umfeld".

Darüber hinaus kann ich zu Debatten über sexuelle Gewalt außer Platitüden wenig beitragen. Ich werde also auch in Zukunft die Waffel halten, zuhören und lieber die Takes von Betroffenen und Expertinnen boosten als selbst was zu tröten.

If anyone is hiring or knows of someone who is hiring remotely in the UK or locally in NI for an astrophysics PhD who is cracking with Python, knows a bit of SQL and cloud computing, is experienced in both data analysis and software development, and is ALSO uncannily quick to learn new things, then hit me up.

ETA: Just to be clear: I'm not looking for astrophysics jobs. My experience in astro was largely in big data wrangling and software dev so that's what I'm after now!

It’s 2026, and some people still believe women don’t belong in tech. But we're here to prove them wrong. 😌

At Vivaldi, women are cofounders, sys admins, developers, QA engineers, HR, community specialists, and office managers. 🔥

If you're a woman in tech, what do you do?
