@checkervest there was a politician called Horace Greeley (1811–1872) who stood against Ulysses S Grant in the US presidential election, and, obviously, lost it.

He ran a newspaper which promoted socialism, vegetarianism, teetotalism, and feminism; it had the first female Senate reporter, and *Karl Marx* as a foreign correspondent.

His wife died a week before the election. He'd called off campaigning to be with her. He died brokenhearted before the Electoral College met.

I'm still looking for a job! Please help me with this however you can! I'm doing what I can on my end, but recommendations/referrals do help a lot! ​

Comp sci degree
1.5 years as a software test engineer
Python and NodeJS for my relevant experince, but I'm a fast learner and know a few others as well
Same field, full stack web dev, sysadmin, or dev ops stuff is right up my alley
Looking for remote, but can commute (Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, USA)
I'm a trans woman, so clear acceptance/queer coworkers are a huge plus

Entry level would be best, I don't have enough work experience for most places to look at me mid-level. DM for a resume or any questions, take a look at my site for some examples of things I do!

happy birthday 2U

Got in a random convo with my dad about #trans stuff. Background is, he’s been generally supportive in theory but clearly nervous about talking about it at all, and I’ve been following his lead. So this was a bit of a departure.

Spoiler: the questions and comments were mostly adorable, and amazingly similar to many conversations within the trans community 💕

“I understand L, G, B, and T. But what is Q? I am completely baffled.”

“You said hormones are basically like another puberty. So does that mean you’ll grow taller?”

“Are there a lot more trans women than trans men? Because nobody ever talks about trans men.” 😍

“I can totally understand not wanting boobs. I would find them very annoying.” 😂

“Why is everyone so worried about trans women in bathrooms? Who would bother dressing as a woman and changing their name just to assault someone? I don’t get it”

“So if someone is female and changes to male but was always interested in women, does that mean they are straight?”

Folks, if a 70+ rural-raised cis white dude living in Trumpland can be this thoughtful, so can anyone
