New instance, new #introduction. I'm a Jane of all trades, master of none in IT. Working part time, looking for full time. I crochet, play guitar, read a LOT, and edit Wikipedia.

@futurebird This really hard for me at church, because I'm allergic to a common ingredient in most foods and I have to ask at every station. Some of the members remember now, but I still have to ask. Usually I just have the rice and a dessert.

@futurebird I had so many feelings about this when I read it this morning. From birth my parents and their parents warred with each other over me and what I "should" be like. Mom would part my hair on one side and Grandma would reverse. schoolmates knew if I won the fight with my mom if I wasn't in a dress. Aunts would insist I needed to be more femme and stop trying to play with the boys or talk about important things with the men. I'm cis vanilla and I just wanted to be comfortable!

@futurebird I've been referred to as the Computer Lady, Tech Lady, Top Nerd, Help desk Genius, and Cheetos Girl. On here, we find each other with #WomenInTech. Back to your point, though, your initial image is close to my thoughts, too. A "Technician" *is* someone who is highly skilled at things and that's who you want working with you on high complexity stuff. It seems like a subset of specialist.

@futurebird What's hilarious to me is this is the direct result of, AND the opposite of, swiftboating. (and holy hell, autocarrot has swiftboating in the dictionary)

@futurebird There's benign weird and malignant weird. Vance is totally malignant weird.

@futurebird There are people who don't/can't vote because the records can be used by abusive family members and stalkers. Many states have address confidentiality services, but they have different standards.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_confidentiality_program

@futurebird I have mixed feelings. You make a good point that having my information available to me would be helpful. In CA I can look up my registration status pretty easily, and my county site shows if there's an election that's pertinent to me coming up, as does the mail in ballot I get. I do remember people post 2020 coming through lists claiming fraud for places that "didn't add up" because of absentee votes. (cont)
