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
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
because i know i am forgetful I wrote a discord bot that can help remind you to take your meds
https://git.sr.ht/~muirrum/estrobot (guess which med I designed it for :p)

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.

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.
