  • Keep the day job for now and start volunteering what time you can spare to a cause that resonates with you.

    That might be the night time soup kitchen, or planting trees with your local working bee, or companionship sessions with the local nursing home. You may find an idea for a vocation reveals itself, and be in a position to hear about any opportunities.

    Lefty friendly and community work are pretty well aligned so I think that’s a start.

    I feel you re IT and related industries. I just want to close my laptop and never open it again, but it’s not an option right now.







  • I’ve wondered this as a ciswoman who is hetero and far as I’m aware, neuro typical.

    Growing up I had all kinds of identity questions and it’s taken me a long time to both understand who I am and what I want for myself; to make peace with a few things about my personality etc.

    I wonder if the struggles of trans/queer/ND people to find their identity delay those additional questions? Or are they layered on top as well?

    No real point, just a musing I’ve had. Being a human is hard even when you’re already ticking boxes that society says you should.

He just tripped over the words.
