Hi, I'm Kira! 🌱 🍄 🦊
I'm a white nonbinary girl in my 30s, trying to understand how the world works. Currently trying to teach myself science & engineering.
Nature & earthskills are really important to me, as is finding sustainable ways of living. I also like writing small computer programs, and understanding how things work.

Can queers who don't use labels stop being smug about it and saying 'labels are bullshit' and things like that? Sure, nobody should apply labels to others without their permission and you definitely don't have to use them if you don't want, but the ones people choose for themselves can be really comfortable, afferming, and a source of pride. Get off your high horse, your identity isn't magically more progressive.
@neauoire Wow, this was a wonderful article! It's so rare to find other folx who see programming this way :o

COBOL - Built to Last
In this sense, COBOL and its scapegoating show us an important aspect of high tech that few in Silicon Valley, or in government, seem to understand. Older systems have value, and constantly building new technological systems for short-term profit at the expense of existing infrastructure is not progress. In fact, it is among the most regressive paths a society can take.
@lilletale @neauoire !!!!
This is what I get for only watching the video up to everything but the last 3 seconds! :o
Dearest universe:
