sales rep at the appliance store called a coworker over to meet our parrot by saying "come meet Mr. <bird's name>". lady looks at me and my wife, puzzled. thought we were abouta get misgendered for a hot second until the sales rep went "yeah, that's the bird's name" and her coworker's confusion dissipated. imma take it as "neither of us pass as men any longer". victory!

2 years into transition? you're now an elder trans with a gaggle of babies. 5 years? you're a grandmother.

just to double check, when you say "subscribe" do you mean joining hexbear comms or are you talking about sending in an application for a hexbear account? if it's the latter, one of the admins suggested resubmitting it as they can't search applications very easily.

extradition to red states, not other countries. they want to do genocide.

moooood. I became allergic to the sun because of daily migraines so I no longer understand the appeal of going outside (booo hssssss)

actually being able to see that I'm related to my mother and sister was a new, post-makeup thing for me. I'd literally never been able to see that in my face before, probably because I refused to look very carefully past the dysphoria. so I feel you.

for citizens, they can't deport them without a Supreme Court ruling they don't have yet. what they can do is jail or kill.

well-written analysis of the trans experience and the weird shit that goes on in the heads of repressed trans people.

I won't be the only one on the call so I can't just give him an impossible interview. we're planning the interview together today. how do I make sure we can't hire him?

luckily his background doesn't line up with what our team does, at least from his resume -- god it's the worst to read from the formatting alone. so maybe I can just lean into that? my team is part of a software infrastructure group and we're tasked with making the rest of the org stop sucking ass at software development -- secrets don't go in git repos type of stuff. so people skills and writing little bits of code that ensure the culture changes over time. his background is in operations and maybe a little software dev.

I need suggestions for questions that will make him a no go. I can't take someone who worked for Palantir, for nearly a decade no less, seriously.

I love the slider that asks how well you know the topic so it can assess how much technobabble it needs to feed you to satisfy your credulity.

feel free to communize it - I have no clue how to edit images. I usually do it with imagemagick on the cli, which is, uhh complicated.

it happens when reloading a page or navigating back. it shows me a different user's account in the top bar -- worried that if someone hits stop during page load, they'd actually be able to impersonate another user's account. this appears to be random and I've seen several different accounts over the course of the day.

sorry if this is an already known bug or if it's just a cosmetic issue that doesn't actually give anyone perms.

these comments were removed for transphobia because they're kind of close to attack helicopter ahit but I don't think this is a tranaphobe making a joke, it's just a enby with an unconventional gender identity. it's not up to us to decide thir identity isn't valid. I'm open to having my mind changed - if it's invalidating others' identities somewhere - but absent that I don't think this is transphobia.
