good morning netizens! The weekend approaches ever more rapidly and still I am #lookingForWork. I'm trying to find work in the IT industry such as #informationTechnology#informationSecurity#cyberSecurty#sysAdmin#netAdmin#NOC#SOC#programming and more. My specialty is, you guessed it, infosec, and with my four certifications with a focus in it, I'm really hoping I can get a role in the sector soon to help me #gtfomystate as a #transgender#woman currently trapped in #Oklahoma where it is unsafe for me and my family to stay for long. I am a #remote worker, but open to alternatives if it means getting us to safety. If you are aware of any connections, roles, or people who may be able to help, I would be forever grateful. Be safe out there, netizens
Did you know that all a #medieval#woman needed to be barren-by-choice, was some grain?
Pregnancy was dangerous in the #middleages. So if a woman wanted to become barren after a difficult birth, she'd throw a handful of barley kernels into the afterbirth & that would be the years without babies.
For some historical #fun, I have checked what "a handful" looks like.
Turns out, the average barley corn weighs ~0.065mg & my hand can hold 22g.

@jacqui76@harriettmb And there is an interesting shift happening with more and more people showing indications of not wanting to be defined primarily (or sometimes at all) by community background or Britishness vs. Irishness.
So much of voting here so far has happened on the basis of "I have to pick the party that will oppose the constitutional outcome I most fear." It'd be interesting to see if more people would vote otherwise if designation changed.
