My major on college started off with 12 women in my class. At graduation, there were only 3 of us. Dealing with the sexism made most of the women drop out and go into something different. I stuck with it because I wanted to be successful in it out of spite. I see a lot of my former classmates working local retail jobs because they can't get anything in this field. Honestly feels good to be more successful than the men who looked down on me lol.

I'm okay with not giving someone with disabilities and inheritance if it'll fuck with any government money they're getting for their disabilities. You have to handle money in that kind of situation very carefully. My mom is my life insurance beneficiary or whatever it's called, but the money would be going to my sister. My sister is intellectually and physically disabled and cannot work. My parents handle her finances so she doesn't lose her disability income, so my mom would be in charge of keeping that money for my sister and using it appropriately. When I make a will, most, if not all, of my shit (my house, car, etc) will go to my mom legally, but my mom knows my sister is the intended recipient and would help figure shit out.

Anyone got a non-paywalled version?

Where'd you find it? I'm honestly curious about it

I mean, I'm the only woman tech my company has hired ever, so your statement is kinda accurate.

People love a martyr. Our man Luigi has become one, and it's exactly what the cause has needed.

That's their problem at that point lol

I wrote almost exclusively in cursive and it looks just as bad as my non-curskve writing (REALLY bad). Cursive is just so much faster and smother. Don't gotta lift the pen for each letter.

I would love to fit that description and I hope my coworkers think I'm cool lol. I never want to be in a position of power in this field because I have already dealt with enough dumb bullshit on the daily lol

But, like, are there types of IT women? Asking cause I am one and don't know any tropes for us lol

Hoping our boi Luigi set the stage for a revolution to finally start. Idk what I can do to fight the good fight other than to continue to be loud about all this shit.

It's just as fabulous as she is

 

He was by far my favorite. His favorite things were dandelion greens, raising ducklings, and people talking to him. Big guy was the best.

 

One of my new friends is/was a cop. Just found out about it. I genuinely believe ACAB, and this news has me conflicted because my new friend seems really cool and super nice. I don't know him super well yet, though. He's a big part of this new friend group and I don't know how to process this and how to deal with the fact he's a cop.

I don't want to look past the fact he's a cop, but I want to stay his friend and stay in this friend group.

Any advice for dealing with this shit?

I can't talk to my therapist about it until Thursday.

 

He has a new hairdo every time I see him. He's such a trooper for putting up with the gaggle of kids on an almost daily basis. 100% the best tiny boi

 

His name was Jynx. He had lots of disabilities but still had a great 8 years and lived the best life. Most amazing cat I've ever had.

 

This is Pixel. She's mad all the time and doesn't want attention from me unless she needs something.

 

Help in this endeavor is appreciated.

 

He's not very fast, but we love the lil guy anyway

 

I didn't even have to crack the lunge whip to encourage her to go. She just ran around all by herself lol

 

She's in heat, so she was doing her best to show off for all the boys while I was exercising her.

 
 

Getting her to come inside is even harder now lol
