@ryanhoulihan My wife and I make occasional note of the fact that just because we've been monogamous for 27n5years doesn't mean she's not still bi.

Rachel Rawlings (linuxandyarn@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 08-Apr-2024 22:58:03 JST Rachel Rawlings @dramypsyd I had a friend who was a lawyer who handled workers' compensation claims, usually working for employers and looking for any way to justify the claims.
Not only did he not get disbarred for "playing to lose," they made him a judge.

Rachel Rawlings (linuxandyarn@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 07-Apr-2024 01:29:55 JST Rachel Rawlings @inthehands @mekkaokereke I also took precalculus at Temple, despite having gotten a C- in high school trig from a guy who called me "useless" when I went to him for help in October, and a mercy D in calc the following year. It was a prereq, so there was no way to avoid it.
The Temple instructor was open, encouraged questions, and appreciated group efforts. I fucking aced it, because even though DEI wasn't an acronym at the time, he lived by its principles. And that inspired me to do the work.

Rachel Rawlings (linuxandyarn@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 07-Apr-2024 01:29:55 JST Rachel Rawlings @inthehands @mekkaokereke My CS061 course in the 90s was a weed out course. But I was a part-time student in my 20s, had programmed Pascal in high school, and ached to get my degree back on track.
So the semester after I aced the course, I spoke with the TA from that class because I was trying to get out of my secretarial gig, angling for a recommendation. Got nowhere toward a new job, but he said the prof missed me and that "this term there are no Rachels."

Rachel Rawlings (linuxandyarn@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 10-Feb-2024 02:00:35 JST Rachel Rawlings It's official: GOP bigots are trying to use anti-trans panic to overturn Brown v Board of Education, in a bill sponsored by Iowa governor Kim Reynolds.
Introduced yesterday in what's both Black History Month and #LGBT(QIA2S)+ History month, the authors claim “the term ‘equal’ does not mean ‘same’ or ‘identical’” and “Separate accommodations are not inherently unequal.”

When you have to cross the next river, and there's another wolf waiting on the river bank, you can eat that one two. Then you'll be ready for all the "two wolves inside you" jokes.

Rachel Rawlings (linuxandyarn@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 15-Jan-2024 22:36:10 JST Rachel Rawlings @carnage4life I remember the point in the 90s dot-com boom where I, doing Mac desktop support in Silicon Valley, got hired for $26 an hour (the equivalent of $54,000 a year) while my dad, a 20-year fire department veteran, still had a salary in the mid 40s as a lieutenant. The cognitive shear damn near broke me.
But I already knew based on teachers' and social workers' salaries -- and fucking investment bankers' -- that societal worth had no mapping to payment structures.

(He also calls Greta Thunberg an antisemite for supporting a ceasefire in Gaza.)

Rachel Rawlings (linuxandyarn@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 21-Aug-2023 13:17:23 JST Rachel Rawlings When someone says they're pansexual on Mastodon, I think that's grand.
When someone says they're pansexual at the bakery, I'm putting down the baguette until I get clarification.
