Today is #TransDayOfVisibility

I'm a #blind #trans man.

I live in #TX and I can't afford to leave. I'm also #unemployed.

If you believe in #ReproductiveJustice, and that #abortion is #healthcare, please also vocally advocate for access to gender-affirming healthcare.

The #government must not have the #power to control what people can or cannot do with their own bodies.

Today's "I'm laid off and bored" project.

Figured a torii gate for my desk would be really nice. So why spend $10 and buy one when I could 1) Pinch the skin between my thumb and finger between a hammer and chisel. 2) Make a mess everywhere. 3) Aggravate my lower back pain by bending over chiseling. 4) Realize how much of a pain in the ass cutting a mortice in a round dowel is.

Thankfully wood filler exists.

I suppose I should do this now it's the weekend.

I am officially #unemployed as of 17.00 today.

I intend to remain so until I am once more able to write code for myself. (Or, I guess, until I decide that it's not going to happen and I find another career).

Time for a Luny Rant (you know a problem shared.). So I applied to go back to my previous job (Medium friendly company owned by large corp. Group), had the interviews and did well. Everyone in the company wants me back. But the final offer has to be signed of by the owner of the group, as he likes to micro-manage everything. Its been six weeks since the CTO signed off my offer. The managers in the company have tried escalations and diplomacy to get him to sign off. It is very frustrating as I'm currently unemployed due to redundancy and only getting a few interests in the market. I'd really like to go back, its work I'm good at, should never have left but its a long complicated story why. #rant #unemployed #frustration

The job I thought I had lined up just evaporated from the labour market. So it looks like I am going to have a lot of time to experience spring of 2025. Remember me if you need a fun informal speaker, commercially or for charity!

#House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries (D-NY) on #Budget Resolution: "Let me be clear, House #Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget. Not one... They will not get a single Democratic vote. why? Because we are voting with the American people.”

I've been unemployed since December when the job overseas revoked my contract and it's such a struggle because I didn't have anything else lined up

Can anyone recommend some #volunteer opportunities in #Seattle that are currently seeking new volunteers?

I was recently laid off and don't have a car, so I'm looking for options that are accessible via public transit and okay with volunteers who may not be able to commit longer term. I'd love to find something productive to do for at least a few hours per day, 3-5 day per week until I find a new job.

while surely no #angel or #rolemodel (said to have killed at least 4 people himself) in 1929 #greatdepression #mafia boss #alcapone set up free soup kitchen for #poor an #unemployed, so he did more for the #poor than #trump in his lifetime X-D ? https://www.history.com/news/al-capone-great-depression-soup-kitchen

I guess I should stop bingeing this show and go to sleep.... did 23 straight episodes....

#Unemployed
#ItsTooFuckingColdOut

There's so much rant about the unemployment benefits and universal income. People claim it's some kind of weird shit that shouldn't exist, because people won't #work anymore.

You know why people won't work anymore? Because they are tired barely scraping by, slaving their asses off on a 40 hour job and the best they can afford is rent and MAYBE just MAYBE healthcare.

Imagine the dystopia: working class people are going to see their co-workers much more than their own children.

I have been #unemployed since June this year and my work schedule has extended to 7 days a week instead. At least now I can manage to do chores and cook HEALTHY meals for myself and wife, I have started a YouTube channel, I am teaching guitar at a local music school AND doing freelance work on the side.

Please tell me again how people are going to stop working.

Everything that universal income is going to do is that employers will need to stop exploiting people for fuck's sake, in order to make their jobs attractive again.

And some billionaires are probably lose some billions, boohoo, what a tragedy.
