@simplemycelium @joshsusser @actuallyautistic I definitely relate to this. I also have a system, and also have trouble following it when stressed and anxious. My strategy is to address the stress by doing something physically taxing.
Lately Iβve gotten really into running, especially on trails with lots of greenery. I may not have gotten into it if I hadnβt found voice-guided runs. Takes care of all the planning part, which is very taxing for me.
@StillIRise1963 if youβre not alarmed by whatβs happening in this country and on earth in General youβre a fucking idiot
Just want to put it out there that I'm looking for remote full-time SOC and NOC analyst (Tier 1) or tech support (Tier 1-2) positions!
I have an IT/Cybersecurity apprenticeship, and two SANS certifications: GSEC and GCIH (working on a third: GCIA). Before that, I have years of tech support, database upkeep, and customer service experience. I'm open to all shifts.
I've been looking for a while, and I really could use any suggestions or leads anyone has. I would very much like to be working!

It's Trump's Supreme Court. They're having sham cases brought before them so they can rule as they had previously planned to rule!
No Stare Decisis!
No "judging" going on by the far right activist Trump puppets

I prefer to keep it light here, but if I may: If your Christian faith "requires" you to discriminate against people, you should have serious questions about your so-called faith. #SupremeCourt #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #Bigots https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/06/30/us/gay-rights-free-speech-supreme-court?unlocked_article_code=OITu2FYDoOsYQHGX6RMhvvkiutP7r2T-hT4YFlMzMjOsjX4_J6zArNU8JtaY_nSbc05VMSd-YK9XCIrLmPCWKWVQsniYT7yN1DyNlzeMq-a-2vp1sqobNn9k_EXwgMEqp6s1-jGN2HuZKy9pgaUXKpj5my_7VZS5QabrWYK6dZthN5cXReoqxJALKzkhutu8hH4Y3fHBHR7-OUOzcPScR13P56jY1v_MD6uSgkr2sK0bArKF-zjKDjfpQZA2GxSMgf7ZJabLr7BfHKjhHW87IjpjOy-wYfr7j5el8dFUFhFwo5e4aRlmYeJdzTIBDuhBdcURPfVbGr4jESozeHiMtny5OXgP9bn1WwyzV1_nk6vR&smid=url-share

@ScriptFanix somewhat? When I've used metacommunication like 'hey I'm about to say something and it's not meant as an insult, I'm curious because of <reason> so I'd appreciate it if you could interpret it that way...', I get told I shouldn't worry so much, that it's cool, nobody assumes malice. Then I don't use it, because I'm engaged and have been made to feel safe and suddenly saying the same thing I was told needed no softening was completely wrong π
Some times I can even see why something might be interpreted as snide or aggressive - but have no alternative words to use to express it.
@loops @actuallyautistic "Fit" in every corporate context means white or Asian (or white-passing or benign brown), able-bodied, cishet, middle class or higher, male.
Probably a few more exclusions I missed or am not aware of, not being a good fit.
From US senate California candidate Rep. Barbara Lee:
βDeeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life."
This is why we needed the perspective of a Black woman on the courtβand why we need the perspectives of students of color in classrooms. #KBJ

@ScottSoCal it helps if you reformulate "why" as "what is the purpose of this meeting?". "Why" has, in general, an undertone of negativity, "What's the purpose?" is more goal-oriented. And yet, equally to the point.
Give it a try.
@ScottSoCal @wdlindsy
Yes! Gotta monetize those experiences! π°
@MariaHill @Heimdall Affirmative Action benefited Clarence Thomas, now he wants to make sure that it never benefits anyone else ever again.
The media is tripping over itself because Pres. Biden wears a CPAP machine. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell randomly shows up to work with purple bruises all over his face and the former guy nearly died when he got COVID, and Clarence Thomas was hospitalized for several days within the last year. The absence of editorial perspective is contributing to the destruction of American democracy
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
