aida [#151] @mew@glaceon.social

hey. i'm a trans/nb, disabled, US navy veteran with years of experience in system administration, as well as a good chunk of github effort influencing mastodon's early growth period in user experience and featureset.

ive got next month's rent, and virtually nothing more to live off of afterward.

i'm based in Seattle, and am versatile in my abilities, not just centralized to system administration. I got a resume here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ctL51i0GjEfRHpewzj4ayJmiWnfq8QyVk8XDYjdM4n0/edit#heading=h.sb9muqbgut2t as well as methods of communication here, in wire, texting, email, and more.

i'm scared. i've not been able to find a job in the civilian world, despite my best efforts.

maybe point me in the right direction, or point me out to somebody you know?

please boost, or maybe hire me on a cheap commission to appraise your tech, for any reason, for a negotiable price. I just want to work for pay, enough to survive.

anything helps, including boosts.

dm if you just wanna send me money, instead, if that's easier for you.

agency to synthesize yourself into who you wish to be is a privilege, not a global fact and freedome

not everyone is free to be themself.

fun fact, every time you drop an ableist slur, chances are, someone is hurt (me, for instance)

ableism is treating one person as lesser, inadequate, or "not as good" based on qualities of any sort

this language has become so pervasive it is incredibly hard to learn your way out of not using

however, it's also some of the most important, imo, because it is so harmful to such a wide range of people
ableist slurs are just words that follow that definition, and here is a non-exhaustive list
-dumb
-stupid
-retarded
-autistic (used as a deprecation)
-lame
-insane
-crazy

and so, so many more

please, please try to stop using them, thanks

boost my good posts

im proud of this post tbh

y'ever wonder if houdini was just a really bratty sub?

anyway here's my actual favorite youtube video ever

the disaster area that is their house afterwards is symbolic of the turmoil their relationship went thru--

anyway my personal interpretation of Kaizo Trap is that its a story about a dude using vibeo gaemz to cope with depression and his wife struggles to relate to him so she learns to video game so she has a way to spend time with him

this is my headcanon you cant change my mind sorry

when girls are protags, hoodie is happy

have you ever seen Kaizo Trap?

anyway euphoria is the best programming language coz you can compile it into C even though it's already a scripting language that outperforms basically all the others, for even more speeds

(when compiled into C, it generally outperforms normal handwritten C code at doing the things euphoria does best)

Someone Should Have, So Eventually I Will

"why hasnt someone done this already" i really really couldn't tell you
