Happy News

Thank you! It means a great deal from this community.

My IRL friend was happy for me but not many others in my IRL life are supportive.

Thus why I posted an update to FDS, the most supportive community on the internet :)

Such praise!

@Apple Your recent posts were wonderfully thoughtful.

I am of the philosophy that an unexamined life is one not lived.

It inspired me to update with the revelation I had that my recent life experiences didn’t have to be a net loss like most people would assume.

Thank you! Your post series was impeccably organized by topic to an impressive degree. Thank you for the documentation.

Oh wow thank you! 🫣🥰 That means so much to me to hear. I'm glad you liked it!

It entirely depends on whether stem will actually welcome me.

My last job absolutely did not as everyone else who heard the details agreed that environment couldn’t be salvaged & every interview I got while looking in the job just demanded that I stay for more experience.

It was fundamentally unwinnable.

People try to tell me to keep trying because I am still young looking to them, but most women leave stem by 35 due to the discrimination & financial deprivation.

The pay gaps and benefit gaps mean that we run out of resources to sustainably look for a good job and most women are pushed out because of that and a plethora of other factors working against us.
