For quite a few years, I was a member of a hackerspace in DC.

In 2012 or 2013, we voted to institute a code of conduct. It passed handily, 2/3 to 1/3.

That last third pitched a fit in the meeting, resigned, threw their keys on the table, and walked out. That was maybe 30 people

The rest of us threw a party after the door slammed.

Difference between being actually supportive and pretend supportive:

My friend @ulvra: "I know you and I don't fit in the working world, so I think of how we could make it work still."

My parents: "We want you to get a job. We don't care if you even like it or it ruins your life forever. Just get a job, because we want the best for you"

finally do I have the proper way of looking at the fediverse

also yes it's fully functional and I'm actually using it as my main interface right now

The notion that you have to have a certain level of profession at a certain age is extremely toxic and just fosters a culture that never goes developing beyond a puberty stage.

If you learn new things, you are of course bad at them.
If you pick up painting with 30, you're not picasso at 30

You need to learn and train to become better, but if you're expected to be a pixasso at 30, there is no room for that.

Our income is $50 a week (after rent).

If you've got any odd jobs that I can do for an extra $10 here and there, that would be really useful!

What I can do:
* Clerical work
* Proofreading
* Programming (for the Desktop or Command line)

Thanks!
