As part of 'Making Tax Digital' the UK will soon force people to use proprietary software to file certain types of tax return. If you disagree, think people should have control over their data, that HMRC alone should be in charge of HMRC's job, that you shouldn't have to pay random companies just to pay your own taxes, I suggest you sign this UK e-petition:

Hi! I'm an AuDHD programmer / math teacher / infosec researcher who is looking for an online job! I've done games coding, studied game design / balance, taught PICO-8 and Scratch, hobbied in Blender, contributed to Processing's IDE, earned a JPT1 cert from TryHackMe, and taught a whole lot of kids how to do some math and coding and digital media.

I'd love to get a start on pentesting or other offensive security research with an experienced team who would like a new voice. I learn quickly, I hyperfocus hard on tricky problems, and I have excellent written communication skills. (Yes, I'm willing to write up reports after a security assessment.) I value knowing how things work and helping others know as well.

I am capable of sounding professional, but honestly I'm not going to sound *too* professional right now because a lilttle bit of shitposting voice seems like the only way to ensure that people know you're actually writing down your human thoughts in your own human words these days.

anyway plz send me jobs to apply to or stuff! k thx
