hello! my name is rachael. i am a trans woman trapped in a red state. i live with my disabled partner and two dogs. i was fired from my previous job for being trans. since then, i have diligently searched for new employment, but no one local wants to hire a trans person, and remote jobs are increasingly rare.

as i continue my job search, i need to maintain a roof over our heads. we need to continue to survive as i continue my efforts. as such, i am asking for help making rent as well as paying our utilities and other bills. this will allow us to stay safe as i try to navigate the professional world's rampant transphobia.

additionally, i am eager to hear of any job opportunities you may be able to refer me to. i have a decade of experience in software development, with my previous role of six years being a senior fullstack position that included project planning, management, and maintenance, as well as mentorship and client communication. i am open to any position, even entry-level, that is either remote or in seattle or indianapolis. i hope to relocate to seattle as soon as possible, but i will do what i need to survive.

our goal is $2500. i know, thats a lot. thats why im starting this post with three weeks until rent is due. anything you can give would be wildly appreciated and help keep us safe.

Another #introduction time.

I'm a Japanese living in Seattle, WA, married with a 5-year-old daughter. I write commercial database software for a living. Ironically, GNU/Linux is my primary and favourite operating system. My personal laptop is a Chromebook.

I'm a big pedestrian/bicycle safety activist. I volunteer for a local advocacy group, Seattle Neighborhood Greenways, to advocate for safe streets for everyone based on the #VisionZero principle.

Nice to meet you, everyone.

#Seattle

ICYMI: We spoke with @1312press about how hundreds of people mobilized against far-Right gender fascists in #Seattle, facing a violent crackdown from police and city government.

Some results from a week of there being a meshcore repeater on Cougar mountain.

A lot of us can now hear around 80 radios throughout the Seattle / Tacoma region.

The public chat channel is extremely busy at various times throughout the day.

I've been able to DM people in Tacoma and connect to their chat servers all the way from Seattle.

Some routes are extremely stable, meanwhile others are more flaky. It's super exciting!

I'll be heading to the Pride parade this morning! Maybe see some of y'all there?

Edit: I'll probably turn this into a thread for the event and photos.

It'd be nice to be able give away a few to people who can't afford to buy the parts themselves.

$45 / $600

So feel free to throw a few bucks at me so I can scale up my LoRa expirements.

Meshcore is working well enough in Seattle that now adoption is the largest issue to having a more robust LoRa mesh network.

So if you're in the PNW area and want to build a solid handheld LoRa radio to try out meshcore I've made a bill of materials for my go to portable build LoRa plans.
