@wildred1976 What the elementary school counselor did or didn't do is not what tipped the scales.
The father's professional webpage called out this child's gender, because it was so important that a "girl" was born into the family for the first time in generations.
They were obsessed.
@wildred1976 This is ridiculous bullshit. I know the family. This child presented consistent gender dysphoria from the time they were five or six years old all the way into high school, when they left the state. I assume the dysphoria continues today.
@FyahArounsavath@KimberlyNFoster What makes it excessive is the public shaming. That's either 1) a totally inappropriate way to bring up a new concern or 2) the first public symptom of a long-standing private pattern. Either way, he wanted to embarrass her into submission and publicly demonstrate his control.
I've always felt a little guilty for never having read Moby Dick, but I loved Dracula Daily, so I'm giving this a try. Wish me luck! https://t.co/frMmxvxoQK
I'd like to get into the habit of writing for myself more often, so I'm joining in @VirtualCoffeeIO 's November monthly challenge! https://t.co/vzSGh8iehE
I'm not a graphic designer or a branding expert, but I think the Idaho Secretary of State might want to choose a favicon that looks less like a twice-baked potato.
@codemajorealey @VirtualCoffeeIO We had a car stolen a couple of years ago and it is really disorienting! So sorry! Hope you'll make it to @VirtualCoffeeIO soon!
It's embarrassing that JT Vance, who is running for US Congress, cannot tell the difference between private individuals, who have an inalienable right to free speech, and foreign corporations, who do not.
@jamesqquick@AllThingsOpen I started doing some freelance content creation for $ and visibility while looking for a full-time dev job, and now it is my job! Developer tools can't sell themselves - DevEd is content marketing with real tech content and less BS.
@BekahHW@SplitSoftware I was a newbie on a project where you had to manually switch to and from the production DB. Walked away during a long deployment build, forgot to change the DB back. Spent days trying to figure out what was wrong with my branch. Production DB had about 45 new nonsense entries.
@VirtualCoffeeIO A week ago, I was pretty despondent about the world, and then the rain arrived! Taking a shower has a magical ability to shift my mood - even better when the whole world around me gets a shower! There are still mountains to climb, but a little rain helps me believe we can do it.
Hey-o! Next week, @thegrumpyenby and I are going to chat about our experiences with freelancing in tech, with focus on tech newbies and the differences you'll encounter in different countries.
My new obsession - mundane Halloween costumes from Japan. I woke my kids up last night b/c I was laughing so hard. https://t.co/bjyQiw3KTG
