I get I'm a baby trans in most ways, having started transitioning only about four years ago. Ever since then, though, I've felt very visible as being a trans woman --- before, I was an accomplished researcher in quantum computing, even collaborating in the design of the first fully adaptive quantum language.
After, though? It suddenly felt like people saw being trans as the most important thing about me.
If you're an ally this TDoV, see the trans people around you in their totalities.

Not changing my sleep schedule. I was going to bed at midnight so now I'll be going to bed at 1. Your numbers are meaningless to me

broke: "the talk" is the one about sex and how babby is formed
woke: "the talk" is the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

@eniko This is the strategy I also use to deal with the unnecessary time zone changes

The problem with Test-Driven Development is that you have to think about what you want the code to do before you write it. And that ruins the surprise.

the lesson *I'm* choosing to take from xz, as an oss maintainer, is that anyone trying to pressure or guilt me into doing something should immediately be told no, for security reasons
