Incredible thread.

Answered some of my questions about what people think the future will be if everyone codes like this. It seems to be: instead of thinking about constraints of any kind or "what is the most efficient way to do Y or the most readable way to do Z?" answer the question, "what is the most brute force way to perform X if I pretend that there are no resource constraints and nothing needs to make sense as long as I see some sort of test passing? Just ship it with spaghetti code.

Dear Hiring Manager.

Thank you for your recent job advertisement. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into it.

However after careful consideration, I have decided to move forward with other companies who more closely match my needs at this time. Unfortunately, this means I will not be progressing my application further.

I understand this news may be disappointing, but please don't be discouraged. I frequently look at careers websites for new opportunities, and encourage you to continue to advertise any roles that may match my skills and interest in the future.

Thank you again for your interest in having me as part of your team. I wish you all the best in your candidate search.

Hey there lovelies, it's your GAYINT Supportive Internet Auntie again!

Today is the Trans Day of Visibility, and from looking at my feed, it seems like y'all have some complicated feelings about it. Are you visible enough? Are you too visible? Does "passing" make you less trans, or less valid?

I can't answer these questions for you, darling. I wish I could. Here's what I can tell you:

I don't know precisely what you're going through. But as a cis woman who's spent lots of time in hyper-masculine environments, I've seen the power of simply visibly existing. So, for those of you who choose to be visible, remember the power that simply being seen has.

If you feel like you're not doing enough? Remember to put on your own mask first. Things are *scary* out there, and your survival is important. There is nothing wrong with doing the "safe" thing.

If you are proud of being trans, if you can't imagine life any other way, I am so happy that you find pride in your identity!

If being trans is just something you had to pass through on your way to being able to fit into your skin a little better, and you don't really feel like it's your identity? I am so glad that you found a path that worked for you!

Regardless of whether or not you feel like you're doing trans "right", the important thing I want you to know is that you are precisely as trans as you are. Nothing anyone says can change that for you.

Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Trans nonbinary people aren't confused, they know precisely who they are.

Love and virtual hugs!

Vancouver Island marmots will soon come out of hibernation. Some colonies are located on ski hills so they close the ski resort for a few weeks in April.
This marmot is endemic to Vancouver Island. It's an endangered species that is making a remarquable recovery thanks to marmots.org
