i’ve been in a D&D campaign since fall of 2018 & it is ending this spring

this campaign started while i was studying for my CCNA & didn’t even realize it—i had quit my previous career, moved back in w my parents, & basically started my life over. i was in Cisco NetAcad at a local community college

it’s wild that many of the workplaces/organizations/companies that are least conducive to neurodivergence are almost exclusively run by neurodivergent people

the most common piece of advice i give, bc it’s one of the few that i’m comfortable giving to a lot of people at once, is to get a CCNA

some folks accuse me of preaching this bc i simp for cisco. lol. if you’ve ever talked to me in depth abt networking u know thats not true (1/6)

among the FAQ i get, a lot of ppl ask me if the rocket has a special mechanism to account for time dilation

it’s interesting hearing the theories ppl send bc 99% of the time i’m like… huh. idk what this is that they’re suggesting but now i get to learn!

anyway, i can’t answer this question lmao

for every launch/mission, Blue gives out a patch to its employees & sells it in their shop for the public. but there are subtle differences btwn the public patch vs employee one.

take a look at the latest for NG-2–one of these is my patch given out to employees & the other is one from the shop.

periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.
We can do even more.
