Taliban banning women from going to school has nothing to do with Islam. (Even in Saudi women have been attending college for decades.) It's 100% about controlling women the same way GOP banning reproductive freedom in US is not about Christianity, it's about controlling women (FYI no Muslim country, except for the Taliban regime, has banned girls from getting an education. What the Taliban is doing is an insult to the principles of Islam!!)

I love how many folks here that society stigmatizes and rejects are on here finding community and celebrating each other. I dig it. Still dipping my toe in the waters for safety before I share fully me, but so far so good.
I'll get there in time.
I am #LookingForWork. Unfortunately, I joined the ranks of those affected by #TechLayoffs last week, very suddenly and unexpectedly.
I'm a #SoftwareEngineer with over 20 years experience in the industry. I've worked primarily with #PHP, #JavaScript, and #TypeScript, but can also handle #Python and #Java in a pinch. I also have some experience with #AWS, #Docker, and #Terraform.

Boosts and leads are much appreciated.

@JenWojcik @talia_christine Just be careful to never say βHappy Holidays,β because that clearly means that you hate Christianity and want to destroy Christmas.
The U.S. will send $1.85 billion in military aid to Ukraine in a massive package that will for the first time include a Patriot missile battery and precision-guided bombs for their fighter jets, U.S. officials said Wednesday. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-zelenskyy-80ae774f3b7cbb3e1b88d1b728961079
This is one of the hardest & most important warnings for us all.
Perpetrators were people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they are better than others and that rationalized and promoted hatred & evil. It became their everyday live.
They were not monsters. They were people who did horrible and monstrous things on the behalf of this ideology. And this is the scary part of the story.

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.
