In a weird turn, I am turning to coding as a way to escape my busy workload.

Jan. 21, 1926: The Pacific Beach Club, a Black-owned resort set to open in three weeks, is destroyed by arson. What begins as a small fire consumes the clubhouse, dance hall and bathhouse in Huntington Beach, Calif., and snuffs out the dream of a “beach home for the race.” 1/4

I just feel like being trans is the least interesting thing about me.

screenshot of a video with sen sanders on x, with the caption "I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%."

IMPORTANTLY:
Be honest with yourself about what you don't understand. Doesn't matter why you don't know. Could be something that was really unfair/not your fault. Racism in the classroom, sexist study groups, whatever. Go to therapy to deal with it! Don't let your pain be a barrier to your learning.
