Hm, haven't done a #introductions post yet. Here goes!
I'm Cara (She/They), an 18 year old software engineer from Massachusetts. I'm going to college for Computer Science so I can pursue a career in IT!
I write a lot of open-source software, mostly on my Sourcehut page here: https://git.sr.ht/~muirrum .
I'm also an amateur radio operator, an Eagle Scout, and I love photography and being outdoors!
and now, as the clock ticks over to 9 PM, the loud refrain of "Closing Time" can be heard echoing through the hall as is tradition
seeing so many people vibing at this formal is one of the many times over the past few months that remind me why I love producing live events

how to run the largest social media site in the world
pepper site with ads
collect user data to make ads more personal
accidentally leak that user data to third-parties
don't tell users about it
intentionally sell that data to third parties
don't tell users about it
be accomplices to largest misinformation campaigns in history
:brain8: pretend to care about it
:brain9: do nothing about it
accidentally delete bgp routes, preventing engineers from badging in to fix the bgp routers
best part of musical theater is when the bows music is super groovy so i can put my script down and jam out in the booth
one of my favorite things to do is find gay songs on spotify or bandcamp and send the links to my partner
because i know i am forgetful I wrote a discord bot that can help remind you to take your meds

Asexuality is not a footnote. It is not the fineprint at the end. It's not some rare exception to the rule.
You can't say things like "everyone is sexual, except for some ace people"
If you treat asexuality this way you aren't accepting asexuality. You aren't working in changing your understanding. You're just creating small space for exceptions.
Building a world accepting for asexuals has the challenge the underlying assumptions and understanding. You can't just add in exceptions to the rule, the rule it self needs to be changed.
got my second dose but now feeling like garbage
smh for all this trouble i should've gotten 5g with it 😤
Wrote up how I fix git history to remove my deadname -- https://devcara.com/blog/2021/3/on-deadnames-and-git/

You can be both nonbinary and a woman.
Just as the sky can be both night and day, you can exist in more than one state.
There is no contradiction.
