I became an IT professional out of a passion for tech, yes, but mostly out of a desire to understand how to be safe online.
As a kid, I roamed the internet thinking I was protected just because I was sitting at home behind a screen. (1/6)

The waiting period after a job interview has got to be the worst part of the job search process. Did I get it? Is the search finally over? Or will my hopes be dashed again?

I have three slots open for community-centered work! If you're trans, part of a trans-led org, and you're needing a digital space to call your own, reach out to me. I build websites and craft custom workflows and automations.

Average transphobe: we have to ban gender affirming care because they might regret it. My evidence is that I once knew a person who said they were trans and then after I called them slurs, misgendered them, deadnamed them, and abused them for an extended period, they said they weren't trans anymore.

I deleted the thread on emotional crash outs because I can say it more succinctly like this:
Check on your emotionally reserved friends. A lot of us don't express distress openly and many people mistake that for invulnerability or hypercompetence. I find that especially true among trans people.

Building community shouldn't include constant anxiety.
If you're trans or part of a trans-led org needing a security checkup, advice to avoid being doxxed (and what to do if it happens), or a website that doesn't track every click and keystroke, I'd love to help. My DMs are open.

You ever notice the disconnect early…
and still convince yourself you’re overthinking it?
Learning to trust your gut without becoming cynical is a skill I’m still building.
Emotional awareness is powerful.
But it’s also uncomfortable.

I wrote a Python script that schedules skeets and logs hourly analytics into a spreadsheet because I wanted full control over my data.
If I can automate it, I will.
If I can self-host it, I probably should.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Be aware of the scam that targets people in vulnerability

They claim to be LGBTQIA friendly, yet there is evidence that the company isn't authorised to engage in interstate. Address points to nowhere. High chance of scam.

It's propaganda designed to stoke hatred and incite violence against trans people while building support for policies designed to eradicate our community.

No, there is not an 'epidemic' of shootings by trans people
There's still no evidence trans people commit more violence than others, experts say, despite online claims of an 'epidemic' of trans attacks.
