U·S Trans Survey, subtoot 

why are there people on the timeline mischaracterizing the results

when the summary is all “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” and the tags are like

i know Dusk Form Lycanroc is the sexy option because it was originally an event exclusive, but Midday Form is too kind and obedient for me (and the LAST thing i’m doing at noon is evolving)

also dusk form is the futch option

also i am sexy

online identity 

me yesterday: i wonder if someday there will be enough people on mastodon i care about networking with that i will create a professional account

i don’t think i can ever fully separate out the work i did on mastodon or glitch‐soc from my current worksona, unfortunately

tech culture

every day i curse the fact that tech does not have any mechanism for resource sharing beyond being active on some socially regressive forum or visibly working for an exploitative company or being popular on twitter

“scripting languages” 

the language discourse has somewhat faded (not entirely tho, as evidenced by the whole “typescript is better than javascript” crowd) but the “real programmers don’t write scripts they develop Frameworks and build Applications” sentiment absolutely hasn’t
