Chronically online programmer (full-stack / person most often flung at the weird new tech) and a historian with a PhD because that makes sense. All views my own and not my employer’s (or anyone else’s)

I swear to God if I have to see one more cis person trying to invent standards for trans women to participate in sports as if they haven’t existed since the 60s-70s…

So basically I have a PhD. I’ve had two careers in both my academic field and computer programming. I’m reasonably accomplished. And when it comes to babies and cats I apparently have one brain cell and it knows baby talk.

If you are not from Jersey or haven’t lived in Jersey you cannot comment on diner culture. Your state does not understand or experience true diner culture. You are an outsider to diners. This is not up for debate.

Skittish new cat goes missing for weird two hour block when she’s normally quite active. I get nervous and look everywhere. No dice. Decide to get some seltzer from the kitchen. Casually jump scared by cat while turning back from fridge. I paid for this.

today is trans day of visibility, and it breaks my heart to see the way the world is trying to turn these wonderful people invisible I am not trans, but the reason I have a voice on this platform is trans people, because they welcomed me and got me to stop lurking the way I did on twitter

Update: All non-essential personnel are evacuated. From the Bases's official FB Page: "JB MDL is currently at FPCON CHARLIE. Increased security measures are in place. All personnel should remain vigilant, follow the direction of security forces, and report any suspicious activity immediately."

That’s a start definitely. SQL is good to know some no matter what because you’ll probably want to talk to a database to store info on the backend and SQL is still wayyyy more common than NoSQL.

(And I say this loving Python and using it for backend in my work.)

Dysfunctional Programming @clouddysfunction.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
One of the appeals of JS/TS is that you have one language for both frontend and backend. A lot of startups use that approach. Corporate is often .NET or Java but you also see the JS stack or Python for backend too. But the JS ecosystem is a friendly entrance to programming in general.

So React is good but understanding JS fundamentals translates to better skill in both backend (ie. node.js) and in browser (ie frontend). React is a framework to try to make maintaining an app’s front end easier but it still uses JS syntax (plus some custom things).

Dysfunctional Programming @clouddysfunction.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
Honestly, you could probably do it with JS (front end and backend) and SQL.

It’s as bad as Apple and the fact the email you used to make your Apple ID originally exists in perpetuity in their system and you have to be locked out of your Apple ID for like 48 hours to have it fixed.

So I had Cigna at one point back in my college years decades ago . My new employer, who has never had my deadname, uses Cigna. All good. Yay free to be quiet about being trans. Now some Cigna system is emailing me under my dead name for every claim. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

For voice training I have tried working with: - An SLP - a musically trained trans woman known for her YouTube lessons (Zheanna) - An SLP / musically trained coach - Yet another coach This since before I started HRT (so over five years). All for no results. Any advice? I am desperate.

I’d had nearly a year of no misgenderings only to have someone misgender me on Christmas and then a phone call that started Ms. and ended with Mr. I’m incompetent at voice training and just like you ordered a woman from Temu.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

The story of this week is that millions of Americans were told in 2024 their lives would be improved if trans people's lives were made worse and I'm glad they're finally waking up to the fact that was never true to begin with--but trans people's lives are still getting worse

1. In a major shadow docket ruling from the Supreme Court, the court has ruled against trans people's passports, giving a stay to the Trump administration. The admin has previously indicated it intend to revoke some passports if it got this ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.
