@KatyElphinstone I need more Crush My Soul, but I currently don't have anyone who wants to do that.
My cat tries post melt, but he is only 8 lbs
The unix/cloud team I was part of until today is/was about 50% women.
Today, two colleagues messaged me separately to say that they primarily took the jobs because I was in the interview, and when they saw another female unix hacker, they realised this might be a good place to work.
If my role is tarot-bothering tattooed gothic-techno hacker mum-figure, then I'm very good with that.
My points are that representation fkn matters, and I'm kind of unemployed.
I understand that.
My main concern is that they can...
a) identify me and/or
b) locate me.
Therefore, any kind of money trail could prove disastrous.
From a "network resilience" point of view, where "content survival" is the prime objective, I agree.
@UrsaAshBear well, it's not like I'm going to Musk himself and sending it, though they're very aware of us already, obviously.
I want normal people that talk about their hobbies. I can't find discussions on certain interests here and it really sucks.
It's why I'm doing that.
I like discussing professional wrestling/WWE and there's less than 50 people on Fediverse in total that discuss that.
My hopes are to bring those people who are tired of the corporate platforms to Fedi, because they can't join us if they have never even heard of us.🤷♂️
Who’s Really to Blame for the LA Fires
The Los Angeles fires were not preventable, virtually nothing could have been done to prevent the devastation. While it’s natural for people to seek someone or something to blame—often focusing on the response to the fire—the truth is that the root cause runs so much deeper than that.
My response: human hubris is the cause, on so many levels. :blobfoxupsidedown:
At the same time, I also know a ton of people who have this assumption that 'the only places worth vacationing in' are those that are 'clean' and 'luxurious'. I saw someone say they didn't think Lombok was worth visiting because it was 'full of sad poor people' unlike 'Bali'. If someone is going to say that, and outright says they don't want to see that poor people exist, there's no reason anyone should encourage them to see the world outside of the world's biggest luxury hotspots. Let them have at it. Even if they are in a 3h traffic jam in Bali to get to like, Potatohead or something like that.
My own thoughts on recreational travel have also changed, in that I'd like to do less of it, especially by air, but at the same time India is always 'home' for me in some way: my friends, family friends, and the organization I have built over the last 13 years there (an education nonprofit).
I'm thankful to have this deep relationship with a place that has so much to offer.
