I enjoy bash scripting, being a little cyber plumber whacking things with a giant monkey wrench

gonna log off because meta posts give me too much dopamine for virtually no actual content, but I guess it's a good time for a #reintroduction #introduction
name is franklint, early-30s nb from the southeast US
I don't talk about them much but I like to collect old (80s-90s) independent comic books and older sci-fi books. I'm a slow reader but I try to keep an open mind
I collected vintage computers & video game consoles and when i have the time I boot them up
I don't talk about any of those things very much. I want people to feel comfortable. I want people to be their freaky lil self

i miss disc tray's . the little drawer that opens and you put the disc on it? amazing. they should put more drawers on computers. they should put hard disk platters in little metal sleeves that you put in a drawer in front of the computer. most hard drive failures are from the box anyway. oh shit thats why

it's funny that someone would try to run an online scam targeting trans women, a demographic of people with the highest population of legitimate hackers and cybercriminals per capita

Sorry Chuck that's what this little gremlin gives off.
puppygirl who has to make sure all agnostics understand that they are actually technically atheists and should refer to themselves as such
I would colorize this trans and make it my pfp if I weren't afraid of giving off an absolutely insufferable vibe with that.
NGL this caricature of Charles Darwin is actually pretty cool

I haven’t seen any other trans people in transit. I have heard one though! The voice announcements for closing doors came out recently. So I guess it’s me and Wagenblast.
I like my job. I like it more than any other job I’ve ever had. It’s challenging, interesting, and it makes my city better. I spent months convinced that I couldn’t transition and keep my job. I am glad I stayed. I get free admission to the transit museum. That’s way too good of a perk to lose.

I perform ultrasonic flaw detection as a Level II NDT technician. I review 15-50 miles of inspection train data every work day. I report broken rails and cross-reference my previous reports to monitor repairs. If a suspect break is outside, I’ll often go on live track to verify and measure the broken rail in person.
It’s been 10 months since I came out at work. So far, it has been okay to do my job as an out-trans woman. I have plenty of stories, but it has been better than I expected.

I’ve been seeing MTA pride posters, so happy MTA pride! Keep the #trans in #transit
I find broken rails for the subway. Whenever you see a train delay for “urgent track maintenance”, that’s hypothetically me and you’re hypothetically welcome.
I’ve been working on railroads for 8 years. I’ve been a full-time contractor for the NYC subway for the last 4+. I’ve tested all 665 mainline track miles over 8 times and reported too many broken rails to count.
